DEI programs became popular in the business community after the George Floyd protests raised the issue of 'white supremacy' in the workplace and institutions, demanding that leaders make sure their staff was more racially diverse. 

Critics of DEI programs describe them as unfair because they directly select candidates on the basis of their race, sex, and gender rather than their qualifications.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman described DEI as 'inherently a racist and illegal movement in its implementation.'

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who owns the X social media platform joined the few business leaders condemning DEI.

'DEI, because it discriminates on the basis of race, gender and many other factors, is not merely immoral, it is also illegal,' he wrote.
