Elon Musk has become a major nuisance for the Left.
He has too much money and fame to be silenced by them.
And Musk dropped the gloves with Bill Maher about the big thing destroying the country.
In December 2022, Elon Musk tweeted, “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.”
The tweet infuriated the Left because they hate that “wokeness” as a name and a target.
Leftists like to push their ideology in silence, but woke nonsense has become too big to ignore.
Musk reiterated that point in a sit-down interview with HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher.
The liberal host, who has clashed with the “woke” Left, said, “I mean, you have talked about this woke mind virus in really apocalyptic terms. You should explain why you don’t think it is hyperbole to say things like it is pushing civilization toward suicide. First of all, what is the woke mind virus, and if we don’t deal with this, nothing else can get done? Tell me why you think that.”
Musk used three words to describe what’s happening in modern culture
Musk responded, “I think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti-meritocratic and anything that results in the suppression of free speech. So those are two of the aspects of the woke mind virus that I think are very dangerous, is that it is often anti-meritocratic and you can’t question things. Even the questioning is bad. Another way, almost synonymous, would be cancel culture.”
Those are two characteristics of wokeness.
Meritocracy is a form of white supremacy and oppression in the eyes of the Left because it stands in the way of proportional representation.
Leftists have the nonsensical belief that people would be proportionately represented across all parts of society if not for unjust discrimination.
And questioning this principle of equity is considered racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or whatever other moral attack the Left want to use.
Maher later asked, “So this woke mind virus. How did it start? Was it bats? Was it an escape from a lab? What is your assessment of why because it’s fairly recent — how did it start and why?”
“Woke mind virus”
Musk answered, “I was trying to figure out where it’s coming from. I think it’s actually been a long time brewing in that it has been going on for a while. The amount of indoctrination that is happening in schools and universities I think is far beyond what parents realize. I came to this somewhat late. The experience that we had in high school and college is not the experience that kids today are having, and hasn’t been for 10 years, maybe 20 years.”
Musk is correct, but it goes back even further than that.
The difference is that the idea has finally reached critical mass on a societal level.
If wokeness is not shut down, everything that made America great will be bulldozed.
