Publicly traded telehealth company Hims & Hers Health, Inc. tumbled into a correction at the end of last week when the CEO said he and other executives were "eager" to hire anti-Israel student protesters.
"Moral courage > College degree," Palestinian-American CEO Andrew Dudum wrote on X.
Dudum said, "If you're currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university's divestment from Israel, keep going. It's working."
"There are plenty of companies & CEOs eager to hire you, regardless of university discipline," he noted.
Substack author Jordan Schachtel responded to Dudum's post on X by indicating his activism is a "violation of fiduciary duty..."
Violation of fiduciary duty in support of Hamas. Bold move, Cotton.

"What does this have to do with your business? why does this belong at a public company? Marshall Wace isn't paying you to play politics," Martin Shkreli wrote.

Here's what other X users said:
Real moral courage doesn’t involve joining a mindless mob, chanting anti-US and other woke pablum, following instructions not to debate or discuss your positions at all yet being indignantly righteous, while large numbers in the mob chant for violence and block Jewish students.

Soo you prefer to hire the students who aren’t in class, aren’t in jobs, easily susceptible to propaganda, larping as terrorists, harassing jews, and generally wreaking havoc over a list of demands that aren’t even achievable?

Easiest short of my life
I would never join this company whose leader supports terrorists. And if you’re looking to hire encampment activists instead of students who are studying for finals - I’ll short this company in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, Palantir CEO Alex Karp said anti-Israel protesters causing chaos across colleges and universities should be shipped off to North Korea as part of an "exchange program" to give them perspective.
"We're gonna do an exchange program sponsored by Karp," he said, adding, "A couple months in North Korea, nice-tasting flavored bark. See how you feel about that."
The problem with some of these college protests is their artificial nature, funded by the Soros group and other non-governmental organizations, with the goal of sparking chaos in a Marxist takeover of America.
An extremist on the mic says: "There’s only one solution, intifada revolution. We must have a revolution so we can have a socialist reconstruction of the USA."

This isn’t just about Israel/Palestine. It's an attempt of the Marxist takeover of America. Our colleges have become… pic.twitter.com/2IEqRyuorB
CEO Dudum reminds us of the virtue-signaling days of mega-corporations who jumped on the BLM movement, which only turned out to be a bunch of Marxists wanting to destroy capitalism and the US.
