Quote from Elon Musk on the Woke

"Musk's past comments about wokeness should also worry many of Twitter's employees as he has described wokeness as "a prevalent mind virus, and arguably, one of the biggest threats to modern civilization."

"At it's heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful, " Musk added. "It basically gives mean people a reason, it gives them a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue."

@AnOldFriend 🤔🤔🤔 He's a genius. Are you?

@4meAndyou I'm smart enough to know the woke movement is very important to some people and they don't need to be insulted.

Just because it's not important to a white person doesn't mean it isn't important to other groups of people

@AnOldFriend In fact, many of the most virulent of the woke are stupid elite white people, who try to assuage their racial guilt by becoming more woke than the woke. But, at it's heart, being woke means you buy into the whole communist agenda being perpetrated on the unsuspecting in the United States today.

@4meAndyou You have a good point, but I feel Musk in a situation now he shouldn't be alienating people on his new site.

It will be interesting to see how many people he censors on Twitter with his so called 'free speech'.

I don't actually have passion for any movement. I'm just bored and answering posts, but I'm about to call it a day

@AnOldFriend He DID say that he hopes NO ONE will leave Twitter...even those with whom he disagrees...because his goal is to allow ALL people the right to speak.

@AnOldFriend I just want to put in my opinion, "the woke" movement has nothing to do with race, it has to do with a very small minority instead of being free to do what they have a personal "right" to do: trying to force their opinions down the throats of everyone. If you want to feel what the vast majority of people feel is a perversion, that is your prerogative. Pushing your views to be what all have to believe is the issue.
