IT Home reported on July 21 that on July 19, an unprecedented "digital epidemic" swept the world, and Microsoft's network andcloud computingThe service was paralyzed on a large scale, and experts called it "the biggest IT failure in history." It was later found that the failure was caused by CrowdStrike Microsoft fixed a problem with the Azure server kernel driver and services are gradually recovering.

However, this disaster became a perfect opportunity for billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of X platform, to attack his opponent. He not only took the opportunity to promote the stable operation of X platform, but also pointed the finger at CrowdStrike's diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) initiative.

Musk has always been critical of DEI, and has publicly stated that it is just "another name for racism." This time, he responded to a 2022 tweet from CrowdStrike about working with Bright Network to promote DEI, sarcastically saying:"It doesn't look so 'bright' now." It seems to suggest that the outage is related to CrowdStrike's DEI initiative.

IT Home noted that this is not the first time Musk has linked corporate issues to diversity. Previously, he blamed the Boeing 737 Max 9 accident on hiring too many non-white pilots and factory workers. He also claimed that Duke University lowered its admission standards in order to improve diversity, but the school denied it.

Although Microsoft services have returned to normal, Musk announced on the X platform: "We just removed CrowdStrike from all systems, so deployment has completely stopped."
