Elon Musk on the Threat of the Woke Mind Virus to Western Civilisation By James Reed
I take everything that Elon Musk says with a large bag of salt, maybe even a salt truck. That caveat made, there is no reason why he needs to speak about the “woke mind virus,” he could just be quiet and make heaps of money, rather than upset his fellow super-capitalists. So, what is going on here? One hypothesis, given Musk is a leading globalist, is that all the pro-freedom things he has said and done are more petrol on the fires of the Left, to justify their own draconian moves, such as the Orwellian Ministry of Truth, or Lies recently established by those who control senile old Joe Biden, the nasty grandpa. The leaked Supreme Court of the United States judgment, allegedly overturning Roe v Wade, is another example of something clearly designed for inflammatory purposes, in this case to show the need of the Left to stack the court with numerous crazy Leftist judges, which I think one of our US correspondents will be writing about today. It is Marxist dialectics in motion, create a problem (thesis) then resolve it (anti-thesis).
“Elon Musk blamed a surprise drop in Netflix subscribers on the streaming service’s “wokeness.”
“The woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable,” the billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO tweeted in response to an article on plunging Netflix shares.
Netflix shares plunged to their lowest level in years Wednesday on the net loss of 200,000 subscribers.
This was not the first time Musk has railed against left-wing politics as either “wokeness” or “woke mind virus.”
In an interview in December with satirical conservative outlet The Babylon Bee, Musk said “woke mind virus” is “a world without humor” and “arguably one of the greatest threats to modern civilization.”
“Generally, I think we should be aiming for a positive society and it should be OK to be humorous. Wokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal, which is not cool,” Musk said. “At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be cruel, armored in false virtue.”
Musk, who also had tweeted about “woke mind virus” in December, has increased his following on the political right since making an unsolicited bid for Twitter and pledging to restore “free speech” on the platform.”
We will see. In the meantime, get tweeting!
