15 May 2025 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): Elon Musk sparked a social media frenzy after he reacted to a post accusing Harvard University of discriminating against “whites, men, and, especially, white men.” Many responded to Musk’s post and slammed the centuries-old educational institution.
It all started with a post by American activist Christopher F Rufo, who wrote, “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.”
Musk re-shared Rufo’s X post and reacted to it with one word. He wrote, “Wow”, while showing his reaction.

An individual wrote, “I am calling for @Harvard to be stripped of its accreditation. Their endowment won’t matter if they can’t matriculate students.” Another joined, “Unacceptable. As a woman, this is outrageous.”
