LOS ANGELES - s4story -- "DEI means DIE" This wasn't the first time that the world's richest man, Elon Musk, lambasted DEI in an X post, notes political analyst Earl Ofari Hutchinson in his new book DEI or DIE. In his January 20, 2025, post Musk blamed the Los Angeles wildfire destruction on DEI programs and initiatives allegedly mandated for fire departments. That supposedly opened the door for supposedly incompetent, unqualified, ill-prepared minorities, women, and LGBTQ persons to oust supposedly qualified and trained professional white males from the departments.

Hutchinson in his new book DEI or DIE among many other insights examines the key role Musk played in the all-out assault on DEI.

Hutchinson observes that while Musk's posts were over the top, there was nothing hokum about the farcical blame of the fires on DEI policies when then 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump put his political muscle to the all-out assault on DEI. During the 2024 presidential campaign Trump repeatedly vowed to marshal the entire federal apparatus in the war to kill DEI.
