The resignation of Astronomer’s former CEO, Andy Byron, stirred controversy as MAGA commentator Jack Posobiec claimed it was fueled by animosity towards white, straight CEOs. After a viral video of Byron and the HR chief at a Coldplay concert, which led to his resignation, Pete DeJoy now heads the company as the new CEO. Posobiec alleged that Leftists’ outrage is part of a broader agenda against white, straight individuals holding high positions, pointing to recent political endorsements and the portrayal of CEOs. The exposure of Byron’s public display with the HR chief escalated fast, placing Astronomer in the spotlight and taking an unexpected turn. CEO DeJoy described the situation as surreal, stating the company’s sudden notoriety was unexpected and unwelcome.
