Bill Ackman, a prominent investor, has recently shifted his public persona from a traditional financial strategist to a more controversial figure by engaging in anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) rhetoric. This new stance, which includes retweeting antivaxxers and other provocative actions, has unexpectedly benefited his business. According to reports, Ackman's investment fund saw a significant increase in its stock price, a change attributed directly to his outspoken comments, despite previous attempts to raise the stock value through dividends, buybacks, and marketing.
