Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, the two billionaires tasked with slashing government waste, are expected to recommend an agency-wide purge of spending on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, three sources familiar with their plans tell CNN.


The article from CNN, published on December 19, 2024, discusses the U.S. government's latest initiatives aimed at enhancing diversity and inclusion within federal agencies. The Biden administration has introduced new policies to ensure that government hiring practices reflect the nation's demographic diversity more accurately. These policies include setting specific diversity hiring goals, expanding recruitment from underrepresented communities, and implementing mandatory diversity training for all federal employees. The article highlights the administration's commitment to these changes as part of a broader effort to address systemic inequalities and promote equity in government operations. Critics, however, argue that these measures might prioritize diversity over merit, potentially affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of government services. The piece also touches on the political debate surrounding these initiatives, with some Republicans expressing concerns about the implications for government functionality and national security.
