Elon Musk: Disney Is “World’s Biggest Example Of Go Woke, Go Broke”
Elon Musk has hit out at Disney again after the company pulled ads from X, calling the company’s output “unwatchable” because of how woke it is attempting to be.
Musk responded to a post by author Scott Adams, saying that Disney has “a major content problem” and that “They are the world’s biggest example of go woke, go broke.”

Musk also noted that other social platforms that Disney is still advertising on have more anti-semitic content on them than X.
The comments came after Disney CEO Bob Iger admitted that his company has focused too much on messaging and not enough on quality storytelling, and that recent box office disasters have resulted from a lack of fresh ideas and “too many sequels.”

It was overshadowed by the more viral "F*ck them" Elon soundbite, but THIS is a more vital observation: "What I care about is the reality of goodness, not the perception of it. And what I see all over the place is people who care about LOOKING good, while DOING evil. Fuck them." pic.twitter.com/ZEDR9lNJh0

The X owner also revelled in the recent South Park ‘Panderverse’ special that absolutely annihilated Disney for going uber woke.
The great wakening from woke has happened. This is good for civilization.

Musk previously described wokeness as “one of he biggest threats to modern civilisation,” adding “At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people… a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue.”
