Harvard University is facing a wave of criticism after allegations of discrimination against white men, amplified by Elon Musk's reaction to a viral social media post. An American activist Christopher F. Rufo shared a post on X (Formerly known as Twitter) which claimed that Harvard has a plan to drastically increase the representation of women and minorities in certain fields, which he argues discriminates against white individuals, particularly white men. Harvard had written a plan to increase the proportion of women and minorities in certain occupations to over 90%—a move he described as “punishing whites, men, and especially white men.”
Elon Musk’s response to Harvard University postAmerican activist Christopher F. Rufo in a o post on X said, “Harvard actually wrote a plan to increase the proportion of women and minorities in certain occupations to more than 90%. It's not about equal opportunity—it's about punishing whites, men, and, especially, white men.”
Tech billionaire Elon Musk reshared Rufo’s post with a one-word response — ‘Wow’. His reaction quickly gained traction, amassing millions of views and fueling discussions about Harvard’s diversity policies.
This incident is not the first time Elon Musk has publicly expressed his views on Harvard University. The accusations and the subsequent reactions highlight the ongoing debate about affirmative action, diversity policies, and allegations of reverse discrimination in higher education.
