X: I no longer think it is rumor. I asked both Grok and ChatGPT, both hid the name of the “female’ at first. When asked if the name Jo Ellis meant anything in relation to the Blackhawk crash, both ChatGPT and Grok admitted Joe Ellis was the transgender crew member. Try it for yourself and see what you get.
Grok: A recent helicopter crash involving a Black Hawk at Washington D.C.’s Reagan National Airport has brought attention to Jo Ellis, a transgender woman and Chief Warrant Officer 2 in the Virginia Army National Guard, who was reportedly the pilot of the helicopter.
Jo Ellis shared her journey of balancing military service with living authentically as a transgender woman in a podcast that aired just before the crash.
Posts on X suggest that Ellis’s involvement in the crash has sparked discussions about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in the military, particularly in relation to transgender service members.
The incident has led to speculation and debate about the qualifications and competence of Ellis under these policies, with some questioning if DEI considerations influenced her role as a pilot.
