Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips, known for his long-shot challenge to President Joe Biden, has suggested potential Cabinet positions for Elon Musk and billionaire investor Bill Ackman. As part of his campaign, the Minnesota congressman has also drawn attention for his approach to tech policy, including his views on Artificial Intelligence and Web 3.0. Phillips stirred controversy by removing 'Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion' (DEI) references from his campaign website following a donation from Bill Ackman, replacing them with 'Equity and Restorative Justice,' albeit keeping the original text. His action has prompted criticism from fellow Democrats and led to Phillips defending his decision, asserting that no one influences his policies and reaffirming his support for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
