"This Is Illegal", Musk Slams Satya Nadella Over Microsoft's Hiring Policies | Firstpost America

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has accused Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella of discriminatory hiring practices at Xbox, claiming the company excluded white candidates while prioritising "queer and Black people." Musk tagged Nadella on X, calling the alleged practices "illegal." Microsoft, known for its commitment to diversity under Nadella, has not responded. Musk's criticism comes amid ongoing tensions, including past remarks mocking Microsoft over software outages and its Windows setup process. Meanwhile, podcaster Joe Rogan has also criticised Microsoft founder Bill Gates, questioning his views on COVID-19. As Musk prepares to challenge Microsoft with his xAI gaming studio, the feud raises questions about inclusion, workforce policies, and the rising influence of Donald Trump's allies in tech.
