I’m guessing that there will be no DEI office.

“Elon Musk is planning to launch a university in Austin, Texas after seeding $100 million to his latest charity, named The Foundation.

The billionaire's institution will be started with a STEM-focused primary and secondary school, which will expand into a university 'dedicated to education at the highest levels', according to tax filings seen by Bloomberg.

The school will employ a traditional curriculum 'alongside hands-on learning experience including simulations, case studies, fabrications/ design projects and labs', according to the October 2022 application that was reportedly approved in March.

Musk's venture into education comes as he has become a frequent critic of America's schooling, telling biographer Walter Isaacson this year that 'unless the woke mind virus, which is fundamentally anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human in general, is stopped, civilization will never become multiplanetary.' …”

That's great news! And his comments are perfect and appropriate and should be heard by all.

It'll help other schools get off their ass!

I think that would be great.


I just don’t get his multiplanetary obsession. The temperature alone makes other planets inhabitable.

Great news, STEM (and no sport programs since most are just fake students anyway).


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Yeah, I heard he wants to call it the Texas Institute of Technology & Science. Or TITS for short. And I'm not joking.

He wants/needs smart people working for him, not diverse.

Capitalism. You left out Capitalism. The Leftards REALLY hate Capitalism, though they benefit both directly and indirectly from it every day of their moronic, pathetic, miserable lives.

No, I think you're wrong. It'll motivate them to invent some reason to sue him, to try and prevent it from happening. But it won't get them to change anything in their own houses. It might make some heads explode though!Big Grin I hope he pulls it off.
