Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, is voicing his astonishment after exposing a "ridiculous"multi-million-dollar virtual reality project teaching U.S. soldiers how to have "difficult conversations" regarding diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI.
"Can you believe they were spending your tax dollars on this [poop] ??" Musk said Monday on X.
He was reacting to a video posted by LibsofTikTok revealing the training video.
"You can't make this stuff up," said LibsofTikTok.
The massive $2.3 million contract from the U.S. Air Force's Air Education and Training Command created a virtual reality experience where members of the Armed Forces would interact with an avatar coaching them to converse and act in a friendly manner regarding DEI issues.
"This program allows the participants to have a conversation that are both realistic and difficult," wrote a U.S. airman attached to a video testimonial. "It uses a virtual avatar that are controlled by trained actors."
It "is just another way that the Air and Space Force are innovating and staying one step ahead of a time when we have difficult conversations!"
President Donald Trump has previously spoken against the woke mind virus, saying:: "Woke has to stop. It is destroying our country. We are going to stop woke. Woke is bull****."
Some reaction online to DOGE's revelation includes:
"It's insane. Everyday that passes, the more shocking everything becomes."
"Great job Elon Musk and Libs of TikTok for exposing this waste of tax dollars on ridiculous VR training courses. This is exactly why we need to drain the swamp and get rid of bureaucracy that's out of touch with reality. Trump's executive orders are a great start in cutting down on this kind of nonsense, let's keep going and make America great again."
"I want my money back."
