Elon Musk, the enigmatic CEO of Tesla and owner of the social media giant X, formerly known as Twitter, has once again ignited a storm of speculation with his latest remarks on the social media platform. This time, Elon Musk’s target was Disney and its CEO, Bob Iger, as he took a sarcastic jab at the entertainment giant’s approach to diversity and inclusion. Notably, his remarks about joining Disney as an executive also sparked speculations in the technology market.
Elon Musk Once Again Slams Disney & Bob Iger
Elon Musk’s recent post on the X platform has left many scratching their heads, as the tech mogul seemingly mocked Disney’s efforts towards diversity and inclusion. In a satirical tone, Musk proclaimed his excitement to join Disney as the firm’s “Chief DEI Officer”.
Meanwhile, in his post, he expressed his eagerness to collaborate with Disney CEO Bob Iger, and Kathleen Kennedy, to make Disney’s content “MORE woke.” This tongue-in-cheek remark was met with amusement from some users, including one parody account of Elon Musk himself.
Notably, this isn’t the first time Musk has targeted Disney and Bob Iger. In December 2024, Musk unleashed a scathing attack on Iger, demanding his immediate dismissal and accusing him of tarnishing Walt Disney’s legacy.
It’s worth noting that Elon Musk’s feud with Bob Iger dates back even further, with previous criticisms voiced during the New York Times DealBook summit in 2023. However, despite the controversy surrounding Musk’s comments, it’s clear that he isn’t backing down from his stance on Disney’s management.
Excited to join @Disney as their Chief DEI Officer.
Can’t wait to work with Bob Iger & Kathleen Kennedy to make their content MORE woke!
Even the linguini.

A Closer Look Into The Tussle
Elon Musk’s involvement in controversies related to Disney extends beyond mere verbal sparring. In February, Musk pledged to cover the legal expenses of Disney employees who felt discriminated against by the company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Notably, the tech mogul referred to these standards as “mandatory, institutionalized racism and sexism,” sparking further debate within the industry. However, the tussle between Elon Musk and Disney intensified when the mass media firm, along with several other companies, decided to withdraw their advertising campaign from X citing Elon Musk’s “antisemitic and racist” comments.
Meanwhile, as Musk continues to make waves with his provocative statements, the spotlight remains firmly on the mass media firm and Bob Iger. While some view Musk’s comments as incendiary, others see them as a rallying cry against what he perceives as corporate hypocrisy.
