[Paywall – DNP] Why Elon Musk Won’t Stop Talking About a ‘Woke Mind Virus’

…When it comes to how he defines that threat, however, he has been vague in public—painting a picture of something akin to hysterical groupthink by liberals against merit-based achievement and free speech, a catchall for what he expresses disagreement with.

Musk has lately expounded more on what worries him, including earlier this month, when he was asked directly what he means by WMV and continued to attack Disney—which he calls “deeply infected”—after the company cut ad spending on X.

“The woke mind virus consists of creating very, very divisive identity politics…[that] amplifies racism; amplifies, frankly, sexism; and all of the -isms while claiming to do the opposite,” Musk said at an event in Italy. “It actually divides people and makes them hate each other and hate themselves.”

A few weeks earlier, during an appearance on a podcast, Musk summed it up simply as “communism rebranded.”
