Part 6/10:
The controversy extends beyond individual statements, uncovering a pattern of outright discrimination in hiring practices across AAA studios and prominent developers. Musk pointed out that industry insiders are increasingly revealing "illegal hiring practices" through direct messages and leaked communications. These practices seem to involve preferential treatment based on race and identity, often at the expense of merit and fairness.
Some industry figures are openly bragging about their exclusivity, hiring only people of color and ignoring white candidates altogether. Critics argue this creates a toxic environment that fosters division rather than unity, with accusations of reverse racism and systemic bias becoming central themes.
