CHAPTER

BlackRock, DEI, and Corporate Accountability

This chapter explores BlackRock's influence on corporate policies related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks. It critically examines claims that BlackRock enforces 'woke' ideologies in exchange for investments, using Tesla as a counterexample to argue that investment doesn't necessarily mandate policy change. The discussion extends to the behavior of billionaires, the dynamics within elite circles, and critiques contemporary media's handling of misinformation.
