Noam, who Google hired for $2.7 bn, sparks row internally over transgender comment; Musk replies
Noam Shazeer, hired by Google through a $2.4-billion deal, sparked an internal row with his comments on transgenders and gender identity. "I don't believe humans have attribute called gender...I don't believe that G-d puts people in wrong bodies," Shazeer wrote on an internal forum, which triggered backlash. Google restricted Shazeer's visibility on forums as Elon Musk said, "Noam is right."
