Muskrat Backing Trump's Anti-DEI Stance In Wake of Deadly D.C. Crash Is Not Just Wrong, It's Dangerous

You’ve gotta hand it to Elon Musk: if he’s not good at anything else, he’s good at making himself a nuisance. And he can do it by using just one word.

If you have the stomach to still be on his X platform, which he transformed from being Twitter, a legitimate social media network to a far-right extremist wasteland, you may notice that he posted the word “absolutely” in response to Shaun Maguire – a tech exec who once claimed that Google discriminated against him – posting that “DEI kills people, literally.”




This was followed by a lot of bellyaching about DEI from some truly spiteful people in the wake of a deadly plane crash Wednesday night at Reagan National Airport that killed 64 people aboard an American Airlines flight and the crew of a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter.

President Trump, at a Thursday press conference blamed DEI initiatives in the Federal Aviation Administration were the cause of the crash – something which he had zero evidence of but said as though it were fact. This follows a real mess that started with Musk’s beef with former FAA chief Michael Whitaker.
