Billionaire Elon Musk criticized a Google AI executive for previous racist remarks, which he characterized as a “confession of a crime.”
Musk’s remarks came after Daily Wire host Matt Walsh investigated Google’s new Gemini AI project, which was put on hold after users noticed bias against white individuals.

“Google’s Gemini AI project doesn’t want to display images of white men – even historical figures. I think I may have figured out why,” Walsh posted to X. “Here’s the founder of Google’s ‘AI Responsibility’ initiative, Jen Gennai, speaking in a keynote address in 2021. She openly suggests that she treats ‘Black, Hispanic and Latinx’ employees differently than white employees.”

In the video, Gennai argues that “talented white employees” are fast-tracked on the corporate ladder, while “talented black, Hispanic and Latinx” employees break through “much later.” She then said that she incorrectly used to treat every member of her team “the same” and changed accordingly.
“It’s a myth that you’re not unfair if you treat everyone the same,” Gennai said. “There are groups who have been marginalized and excluded because of historic systems and structures that were intentionally designed to favor one group over another. So you need to account for that and mitigate against it.”
Walsh later highlighted that Gennai faced scrutiny during the 2020 election, when she reportedly indicated to Project Veritas that Google was aiming to prevent former President Donald Trump from staying in the White House.
