The rest of your employees are feeling bullied as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brooks cited a survey showing that 93% of respondents hate the divided status of the country. Referencing the recent acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, a move the world\u2019s richest man intended as a mechanism to advance freedom of speech, Brooks added that those who do not hate the divided national conversation are the same people who subscribe to absurdities such as \u201cif you buy a Tesla, it means somehow you believe in hate speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time for us to say, \u2018I will not be conscripted into America\u2019s culture war.\u2019 We\u2019re going to make good products, we\u2019re going to help people, we\u2019re going to lift each other up,\u201d Brooks said.<\/p>\n<p>Several corporations have been severely reprimanded by the marketplace for their ventures into social activism. Entertainment conglomerate Disney denounced legislation in Florida that prohibits instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity for students between kindergarten and third grade, ultimately causing the iconic company to lose trust among some consumers. Disney CEO Bob Iger remarked in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-disney-ceo-says-company-will-quiet-things-down-regrets-predecessor-battled-desantis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">footage<\/a> obtained by Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo that he regrets Disney entered the battle over the statute.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/poll-by-two-to-one-margin-investors-reject-woke-companies-pushing-political-causes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exclusive poll<\/a> from The Daily Wire showed that American investors would prefer that companies commit solely to the maximization of profits rather than causes favored by executives. Although 29% of respondents agreed it is a \u201cgood thing\u201d for companies to leverage their financial power for political or social means, 58% said it is a \u201cbad thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kernen noted that he now sees social media users calling people white supremacists for supporting Elon Musk or defending the principle of free speech. \u201cWe have to disregard it,\u201d Brooks commented. \u201cSomething like 15% of Americans are actually involved on Twitter. A very small percentage of them are producing the overwhelming amount of tweets about politics, but it gets disproportionate coverage because it\u2019s so outrageous. This drives out the people who want to have ordinary conversations, talk about the news, have non-controversial opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk reported that new user inflow and the amount of time users spend on Twitter each day have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-reveals-how-twitters-business-is-doing-under-his-leadership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">soared<\/a> under his leadership, even as a significant number of advertisers pause campaigns or entirely suspend their relationships with the platform following pressure from activist groups. \u201cElon Musk is quite correctly trying to address the fact that there was too much censorship that was all going almost completely for one political point of view, and he\u2019s trying to balance the equation,\u201d Brooks added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvard University Management Professor Arthur Brooks admonished corporate leaders to reject the bullying of woke employees and focus on their bottom lines rather than involve themselves in culture war battles.
