'This is what extreme privilege and entitlement get you,' said technology investor Elisabeth Fullerton.
On 1/8/20 at 6:44 AM ESTPresident Donald Trump's daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump is facing backlash over her"extreme privilege" after the first daughter was invited to participate in a keynote interview at a major technology conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A number of prominent voices in the technology industry, however, were not convinced, with women leaders in tech branding Trump's involvement in the conference"an insult to women in technology.", accused Trump of using her privilege to claim the spotlight at an event that has long been criticized over its failure to adequately include the voices of women in the technology industry.
Trump, Milanesi wrote, had been selected as one of just two women delivering a keynote at the event, in what the tech analyst branded a"token woman appearance." As the tech analyst noted, Trump's keynote moment was just the latest in a string of controversies surrounding the CES, with organizers repeatedly accused of failing to promote diversity and inclusivity at the annual event.
Milanesi suggested that the CES still had much to learn from past incidents, while also accusing organizers of seeking to"foster their relationship with Washington" by giving Trump a chance to speak.
