Not defending musk, but it is really difficult to find women in AI. The few that are around are very valuable for tech companies that will pay higher salaries to have "token women", better if they are from some minority group, to show better diversity statistics. Therefore retention is also difficult. Finding good people in AI is already difficult and expansive, finding women is a real challenge.
I strongly believe that diversity brings a lot of value, and women are important in any team. But the solution unfortunately is not in the current market, but it is at school levels. Culture must change.
Eh, the gender imbalance is bad, but not 0/12 bad... here are some stats
Saying "coincidence" is basically claiming there is no reason for an observed pattern. This is really more of a last resort when considering explanations for certain patterns, because it's probably the weakest claim someone can make.
Generally, patterns are not coincidence because if an outcome is truly a result of randomness, then there is an extremely low chance that there would be a pattern.
Also, 12 is not the whole data set. The whole data set should include the people who weren't hired during the hiring process. This is unknown to us.
