Twitter CEO and billionaire owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, is proving to be one of the most important public figures at this point in the 21st Century, especially when it comes to doing battle against the insanity of the left and preserving freedom of speech. In fact, he’s pretty much leading the charge right now in the fight against wokeness.
According to the Daily Wire, after being booed during a special appearance on stage with comedian Dave Chappelle at the comedian’s show at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday evening, Musk released an amazing declaration of war against the “woke mind virus” infecting our culture, stating it must be defeated or “nothing else matters.”
When Chappelle introduced Elon Musk, and a lot of the crowd disrespected him by booing, clearly not understanding that the work the man is doing is for their own benefit, the comedian fired off a joke saying, “It sounds like some of the people you fired are in the audience,” going on to add, “All of those people who are booing, I’m just pointing out the obvious, they have terrible seats. It’s all coming from way up there.”

On Monday morning, Musk went toe-to-toe with his critics, directly tweeting, “The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters.”

“Prior to his appearance at Chappelle’s show, Musk had indicated his disdain for the Twitter bots attacking him, tweeting, ‘Calling all 🤖& 🧌 Please attack me!’ followed by ‘Cool, the bots are so far unable to swarm to the top of my replies!'” the report said.

The Daily Wire then said, “In late November, Musk posted a 12-second video of something he found in a closet at Twitter headquarters that revealed a truly leftist perspective.”
“Musk posted a video of the closet that had shelves stacked with T-shirts as part of Twitter’s merchandising, and showed a shelf filled with black T-shirts reading ‘#Stay Woke,'” the report continued.
“Here we are at the merch and there is an entire closet full of — ” Musk stated in the video before someone off-camera threw in, “secret closet.”
“— Hashtag Woke T-Shirts,” Musk finishes.

Despite all of the grief from his critics on the left concerning how he’s handled the platform, Musk pointed out at the time that Twitter had actually added 1.6 million daily active users over the course of the previous week.

Just a few hours before posting the videos about the woke shirts, Musk fired at his critics, saying, “Wasn’t Twitter supposed to die by now or something?”
“Maybe we’ve gone to heaven/hell & don’t know it,” he zinged.

“A coalition of 60+ civil rights and civil society groups calling themselves the ‘Stop Toxic Twitter’ coalition had urged Twitter’s top advertisers to boycott the company, threatening, ‘Musk must not roll back the basic moderation practices Twitter already has on the books and he must invest the resources necessary to enforce those rules,'” the report added.
“Sweeping layoffs at Twitter make it impossible for Twitter to uphold brand safeguards and content moderation. Companies should immediately stop advertising in response,” they remarked.
Freedom of speech is one of the top three critical issues of our day, along with ending abortion and election integrity. We must all have the freedom to express our beliefs and ideologies on the battlefield of ideas if we hope as a society to make actual, legitimate progress for humankind.
