There are nearly 20 chief executives and prominent business leaders signed up to advise President Donald Trump. But only Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Uber CEO Travis Kalanick have so far had the gumption to speak out against the presidents executive order blocking refugees and citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.
The order, issued Friday, sparked protests at airports across the nation. By Saturday, a federal judge in Brooklyn had temporarily blocked parts of it.
Chief executives of large corporations are nearly universal in their support for increased immigration. Its hard to imagine that any CEO on Trumps advisory panel supports a ban on travelers from Muslim-majority countries in principle.
But Trumps power and the allure of the presidency are apparently enough to cower the corporate chiefs into staying silent on matters of law and fundamental American values.
