Elon Musk Harpoons Warren, the Woke Mind, CNN in Superb Babylon Bee Interview – Opinion

By Pluralist / December 22, 2021

Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and was just named Time’s “Person of the Year.”

But it’s pretty clear that he’s not a compliant woke liberal. Indeed, he’s angered many on the left because he does in fact challenge their orthodoxies. Musk has not only stood up against the targeting of the rich by people like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), but he’s also stood up against lockdown orders over COVID, calling them “fascist.”

Musk will probably cause even greater panic among them by what he did. Musk gave a lengthy interview to Babylon Bee (satire website) and there are some gold nuggets there that are sure to make the left insane. It would suffice to do the interview.

When they were joking about pointless companies that “shouldn’t exist,” co-owner Kyle Mann teased him by saying, “You can be on CNN right now.”

“I’m not perverted enough, I guess,” Musk replied. His comedic delivery is hilarious.

That was about CNN’s current scandals, as well as the Babylon Bee’s headlines referencing those scandals: “CNN Quietly Resets ‘Days Since An Employee Committed A Sex Crime’ Counter Back To Zero,” and “CNN HR Department Considers Adding ‘Are You A Creepy Pervert?’ To Employment Application.” Musk made it clear by the comment that he was a reader of their site.

In addition to CNN firing Chris Cuomo for helping his brother with his sexual harassment allegations, Chris Cuomo himself was accused — again — of sexual harassment. CNN anchor Don Lemon is facing a lawsuit for allegedly committing a sexual offense in an establishment. CNN had a producer arrested on charges of sexual assault against children aged nine and over. A second accusation was made of an employee who engaged in inappropriate activity directed at children.

That wasn’t all. Musk also took on and skewered wokeness, saying that the “woke mind virus” was “arguably one of the biggest threats to modern civilization.” He gets it.

“Wokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal, which is not cool. Trying to shut down Chappelle, come on man, that’s crazy. Do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation, and hate?”

He continued, “At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a shield to be cruel, armored in false virtue.”

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a better definition both of what wokeness is and how at its core, it cuts the heart out of society. It’s an effort at control but it has no soul; it kills any real comedy. That’s why things like “SNL” are no longer as funny as they were, since they toe the line of wokeness.

Musk also called Warren a grifter, further ridiculing him.

“She struck first. Yes, she did actually call me a freeloader and a grifter who doesn’t pay taxes. I’m literally paying the most tax that any individual in history has ever paid this year, ever, and she doesn’t pay taxes, basically. Her taxes and her salary are paid by taxpayers like me. If you could die by irony, she would be dead,” Musk said.

It’s always refreshing to see someone with such a high profile as Musk speaking out against the mania. He’s in a position where he is just not afraid to say what he thinks, and he doesn’t care about what they might say in response. And that’s what we need more of, whether we agree with everything he might say or not. It is important to support and value that freedom and we should stand by those who do. It is also a great thing to know that the CNN people will be reacting with fury.
