#422 – Mark Cuban: Shark Tank, DEI & Wokeism Debate, Elon Musk, Politics & Drugs

So you're getting into the culture of organizations, right? And leadership within organizations and accepting any type of criticism, put aside DEI. When I criticize the referees in the NBA, I got fined, right? That was their option. I knew what I was getting into, right? Not that they're completely analogous, but it's cause and effect.

If I'm in a major company and I'm publicly criticizing or even internally criticizing a sales plan or a product, our product sucks, right? Where like there was a Google engineer that got fired for saying, you know, Google had AGI, right? And nobody believed they did and they knew that created problems.

It wasn't DEI related, but it was, you know, saying something publicly that was to the, in the CEO's eyes, to the detriment of the company, right? So I think those are all analogous. If you're trying to accomplish something within an organization because you think there's a problem and there's people speaking out saying, look, We're getting it wrong.

When I talk to people in corporate America about DEI, they always start talking about ideology, right? And like I've talked to Bill Ackman, who you've had on, right? And when I asked him, well, Bill, you run your own companies. Who's telling you what to do? They are. Who's they? Well, it's the universities, you know, the people who have this ideology of DEI. I'm like, did they force you?
