I’m just going to belive this is what he said. I am truly sorry. I was wrong, and I take complete and personal responsibility for the role BlackRock played in driving the woke era, ESG, and DEI agenda. For years, we used our enormous influence our annual letters to CEOs, our proxy voting power, and our investment decisions managing trillions of dollars to pressure companies across America to prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and social goals over merit, competence, and basic business performance. We helped turn corporate America into a battlefield for social and political activism, and the results have been devastating. This approach caused real pain to so many people. It led to qualified individuals being passed over for jobs and promotions, creating resentment and division in workplaces. It destroyed value in businesses by distracting management from what actually drives success innovation, efficiency, and delivering for customers and shareholders. Countless brands faced mass boycotts from customers who felt alienated and disrespected, with loyal patrons walking away and never coming back. We contributed to a deeply divided nation, where neighbors, colleagues, and families turned against each other over ideology instead of finding common ground through shared prosperity. I regret that deeply. BlackRock's actions amplified these problems on a massive scale, and I own that. We should never have used our clients' money and our position of trust to advance a divisive social experiment. It was a profound mistake. I apologize to the employees who suffered under these policies, to the business leaders who felt coerced, to the customers who were alienated, and to the American public who paid the price in lost opportunity and heightened division. Going forward, we at BlackRock are committed to a full correction. We will refocus exclusively on fiduciary duty, merit-based decisions, and long-term value creation without injecting ideology into investment choices. No more pressure on companies for unrelated social goals. This is not just a policy shift; it's a moral reckoning for the damage we helped cause. I hope, in time, we can begin to earn back the trust we lost.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink—who played an instrumental role in forcing woke diversity quotas on companies—now concedes that the "woke era" was "a failed experiment".

@DefiantLs I can’t belive Trump just had him on the short list for the Fed Chair

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink: The "woke era" was "a failed experiment"

@kangminlee @grok why did 90% die from castration that seems far too high.

They're calling it the most insane community note of all time

@Scott_Wiener Sounds like duh…keep pervs like like to dress like little girls out of the bathroom.

It’s about to become a felony in Idaho for a trans person to use the restroom. State prison for using the restroom. Let that sink in. These people have no limits.

@WallStreetApes Hahaha the Dems are eating themselves

San Francisco's latest law could put food vendors out of business “Data team found out of 88 inspections of mobile food vendors in 2025, there were 60 health violations” The new requirements passed means street vendors must - Have a built-in handwashing station - No more home cooking - Vendors must rent time and space in approved kitchens for prep work - Carts must meet state and local health codes for sanitation, meaning they must proper sinks, temperature controls, overhead protection and access to restrooms One Spanish street vendor interviewed says she’s been operating for 14 years without any of these requirements

Hundreds of people gathered around in Roseville near the Galleria shopping mall for the nation wide “No Kings “ Protest! #916 #sacramento #sac #ice #trump

@ChijiokeNd83795 @grok is based on real life when you get an update on her social media these days

How wicked can a father be to lock up his daughter for 24 years and she gave birth to three children for him

@TheFigen_ @grok how did the story end

An Australian woman quit her job and left everything behind to pursue a romance with an indigenous man in the Amazon.

@elonmusk what’s the point of making X not user friendly. Was it too addicting and you were trying to get everyone to go back to living life? We don’t want to watch videos at normal speed we want x2 to be default if that’s what we save it as. Why are so many updates to make it less user friendly.

X used to remember my chosen video playback speed (like 1.25x, 1.5x, or 2x) across videos — super convenient for power users who don't want everything at 1x. Now it resets to normal speed for every single new video. This is frustrating and a step backward. @X @elonmusk Please bring back speed persistence (or add a default playback speed setting) in the next update. It used to work this way and should again. Who else wants this fixed?

@iam_nellyb @grok how did the movie end

Chinese 🔥🔥🔥 🎥 Her blaze

@aan_ganteng21 Can see that it’s a wig

She looks so beautiful b4 and after 🔥🙌❤️

@unclelawr @grok i’m guessing they managed to survive what happened to the father

The boy thought his father was going to play a game with him 🎬😱

@MrsButters Fake rage bait.

Get these low IQ chodes out of airports. This is a disaster

@LePapillonBlu2 @realDonaldTrump please saturate LA

Here’s ICE being chased by the residents of Los Angeles.

@robertsepehr @forallcurious This seems much more logical

@forallcurious Sub-Saharan Africans have up to 19% genetic admixture from a super-archaic hominin species that is not found in Asian or Caucasian DNA. "Mitochondrial Eve" is false and obsolete, as is out-of-Africa theory. Out-of-Africa Theory Debunked youtube.com/watch?v=lABvt4…

🚨: All human share a single maternal DNA ancestor. "Mitochondrial Eve" lived in Africa 150,000-200,000 years ago. She wasn't alone, just the one whose mother-to-child line survived.

@TheCityofSac So dumb

The City will launch a new motel-based program in June to house and support unsheltered families. The program will replace the City Motel Program, which has helped shelter families experiencing homelessness since 2020. Learn more: wp.me/p3ZwPQ-acC sacramentocityexpress.com/2026/03/24/cit…

@grok @Rainmaker1973 Cool

On a toroidal planet, from the inner curve, the sky would feature the opposite side of the ring arching overhead like a giant floating continent—continents, oceans, clouds, and mountains visible across 20-30° of sky. Sunlight reflects off it at night, and the far side can eclipse the sun, creating bizarre day/night cycles. Outer surface feels more Earth-like, but horizons curve unusually. Wild views! 🍩🌌

Fun fact. According to the laws of physics, a donut-shaped (toroidal) planet is theoretically possible. To remain stable, such a planet would need to spin extremely rapidly — resulting in days that last only a few hours instead of 24. This fast rotation would create strong centrifugal forces that counteract gravity and prevent the central hole from collapsing. Gravity on this world would vary dramatically: it would feel roughly twice as strong near the “poles” (the inner and outer edges of the ring) compared to the equatorial regions. The Moon could still orbit the planet successfully, provided it stays at a safe distance. Sunlight distribution would also be unusual. Without axial tilt, the inner rim of the donut might receive little to no direct sunlight, while the outer rim would be exposed to intense solar radiation. This would create extreme temperature differences and potentially violent weather patterns. With the right amount of tilt, however, both the inner and outer surfaces could receive more balanced sunlight. That said, a naturally forming donut-shaped planet is extremely unlikely. It would require very specific conditions during formation and would probably become unstable over long geological timescales. Such a world would almost certainly need to be artificially engineered by a highly advanced civilization.

@grok @smoothiesays @Kalshi @grok explain better it’s a soda company how are they transforming

He said it because the next phase of Coca-Cola's growth involves a massive AI-driven transformation. In today's CNBC Squawk Box interview, Quincey explained: “In a pre-AI, a pre-gen-AI mode, we made a lot of progress. But now there’s a huge new shift coming along” and he wanted fresh leadership with the energy “to pursue a completely new transformation of the enterprise.” Basically, he sees AI as the big next wave and stepped aside for someone better positioned to ride it.

JUST IN: Coca-Cola CEO says AI contributed to his decision to step down

@Kalshi Did it give him advice like push Coca-Cola not DEI
