Favorite line from the article:
“The vibe shift is clear: DEI is out and merit is in,” Padfield said in the presentation.
Uh… that is exactly what DEI is: opening up the meritocracy to more people. Sorry if you find it hard to compete on the merits.

proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders
I hope Apple will now fire whoever came up with and put forward that “proposal.” Something something contributing to a hostile work environment something…

The proposal drafted by the National Center for Public Policy Research — a self-described conservative think tank — urged Apple to follow a litany of high-profile companies that have retreated from diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives currently in the Trump administration’s crosshairs.
After a brief presentation about the anti-DEI proposal, Apple announced shareholders had rejected it. In a regulatory filing submitted Tuesday evening, Apple disclosed that 97% of the ballots cast were votes against the measure.

Probably the NCPPR owns a couple of shares of Apple, and put forward this proposal.
I haven’t looked at Apple’s documents, but generally any shareholder can put forth a proposal that then goes through an internal shareholder bureaucracy to hopefully make it to a general shareholder vote.
Basically, like schoolhouse rock, but for corporations.

I wish a reporter would ask if he knows how to spell DEI.
(Or more seriously, what equity means, and why he thinks it’s stinky.)

Data is fundamentally good… Zuckerberg started his career by creating a website to rank the hotness of women. He’s always been a fucking asshole.
