‘You can’t make this stuff up’
By Joe Kovacs
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.”
