Elon Musk just took swipe at 'woke' culture: 'Battle for the Moral High Ground'
Fox Business ^ | March 13, 2021 | Michael Ruiz

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk poked fun at woke culture Saturday, tweeting about a "new game" called "Woketopia."

"Battle for the Moral High Ground in this new game!" he wrote.

It's unclear what prompted the tweet, but Musk has faced criticism over his questioning of the COVID-19 vaccine this weekend and newly released documents showing the Tesla factory in Fremont, Calif., saw hundreds of coronavirus cases after he reopened it in defiance of a local shutdown order.

Musk tweets are often difficult to understand - like they’re inside jokes intended for someone else.

Another surprising ally in all of this is Sean Ono Lennon (John’s son). If I didn’t know better I’d say he was a conservative based on his Twitter feed.

Elon has grown weary of the left wing nonsensical crap in this country. Good for him.

Bill Maher is also very critical of “woke culture”, cancel culture, and what he calls the “woke Olympics”, where people compete to see who can virtue signal the loudest.

I used to hate Maher 90% of the time. But he’s been on a roll recently about certain aspects of the left that are just too extreme for him. He’s waking up to how bad wokeness is for the country. His recent China rant was especially good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DH4v6FnbvM (warning! language!)

As much as I don’t like Elons government subsidies he’s a cool guy. As long as he transports all the leftists to Mars I’ll be supporting him.

He's getting in touch with his inner "can't tell me what to do or how to live" livertarian, it used to be more common among entertainers.

Are you suggesting Musk is actually Q?

I gained a lot of respect for the Elon after watching both of his Joe Rogan Experience podcasts. The first one is from two years ago.
The second one is from about 4 months ago(when he decided to leave CA for TX).

He made the statement in the second one that he was going to rent a house in TX instead of designing and building a house.
His reasoning was: where would my time be better spent, getting us to Mars or building a house. He chose Mars.

Cases. Not deaths.

He didn’t shut down his factory for flu season either.

Factory open, but CA dealerships were not. Somehow he still made his sales targets. 🤔

“Woke politics” has all the heft of a short-lived fashion statement... it’s burning itself out as we speak.
