The GOP is on track to take Congress. There is a decent chance they hold that through 2024. American politics have swung against “wokeism,” or rather, since I haven’t seen a good definition for that term, leaders who identify with “woke” cultural figures.
SpaceX sells to the government. Tesla relies on the government. He’s aligning with the new political winds.
I don't think it's that. The government doesn't have an emporium to buy things from. Sometimes they have a real choice like between Amazon and Azure, but most of the time it's one vendor and a few far second place hopefuls.
All this talk about "inclusivity" that woke-inc preach is the mother of all red herrings.
It's labor laws that keep things inclusive and accessible for all. What the left has been doing with great success is taking over HR departments and enacting new corporate rules that A) go well beyond the law B) are exclusively left-wing de jour and C) extremely authoritarian.
I know, their claims are the exact opposite, which is why they've been so successful at sweeping into HR departments but the writing is on the wall: letting far left activists take control of HR will mean one thing with absolute certainty: Morale will plummet and profitability will go right after it.
