DOGE’s head and Tesla’s billionaire boss, Elon Musk, took a dig at Microsoft’s desi CEO, Shri Satya Nadella, on X/Twitter, over alleged exclusionary hiring practices at the gaming division of the tech giant. Amid the brutal layoff season at Microsoft-owned Activision Blizzard, a screenshot of Obsedian’s art director Matthew Henson's online interaction has stirred the internet. In the post, Matt Hensen quips that the industry has “ too many crusty white dudes ,” and he implores “ Black artists ” to apply, assuring that they “ will always have (my) priority .
” “ Please let me help you replace me one day ,” the gaming director wrote. This comes in the wake of controversy surrounding the ‘ Avowed ’ game that earlier Elon Musk called out for having gender pronouns for characters. Matt reacted to the same by slandering Musk online.
He also created controversy by dissing gamers. Reacting to his latest statement, Elon Musk tagged Satya Nadella in his tweet, stating that “ this is illegal .” Given the clout Musk has now, will Nadella and Microsoft react and tread with caution? Techpreneurs and executives would not want to off the good books of the Trump acolytes.
Um, @satyanadella , this is illegal ...
