Namely by going too far and breaking the law by becoming discriminatory? So now companies are not going to touch DEI.
DEI killed DEI, not Trump.

Ahh, the imaginary butthurt of those for whom “discrimination” has only ever been a shorthand for “having to compete on a level playing field”.
Trump (and his ilk) presented a straw man to the dumb, then shot the straw man, without ever thinking of the innocent people standing down range of their target, which included the dumb the whole time.
When did DEI go too far, and why? I am not aware of any anti-DEI position that thinks it was ever an acceptable practice. It has been resisted since the 80s.
