So, and again, won\u2019t make fun of anything on the Left, really, like, you know, they\u2019ll beat up on Ted Cruz 17,000 times and you\u2019re like \u2018ok, we get it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo it\u2019s, it\u2019s just, they\u2019re just a lot of no fly zones with a lot of comedy,\u201d Musk said. \u201cAnd then you realize, it\u2019s like, wait a second, is the comedy getting at an essential truth or trying to? Or is there a propaganda element? Or is it trying to push you in a particular direction? Or getting to an essential truth that is humorous? And when it stops trying to get to an essential truth that is humorous, then, you know, it\u2019s just not that funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk was then asked to explain the meaning of the following tweet from last week:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">traceroute woke_mind_virus<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1472371245744373760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, so trace route is a networking command to, so, if you want to figure out a path to a particular server, or domain, you\u2019d say traceroute or in Windows TRACERT, that would show you the path to a particular source server, either IP address or domain name, and it would show you basically all the hops that it goes through. And the latency between each hop,\u201d Musk said. \u201cSo traceroute would be like, where did it come from? Where did the virus come from? What is its origin?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Wokeness] is a prevalent mind virus, and arguably one of the biggest threats to modern civilization,\u201d Musk added.<\/p>\n<p>Several minutes later, Musk was asked why wokeness was so destructive, to which he answered, \u201cI think we should be aiming for like a positive society and that it should be okay to be humorous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal, which is not cool,\u201d Musk continued. \u201cI mean, Chappelle like, what the [bleeped out]. I mean, try [to] shut down Chappelle? Come on, man, that\u2019s crazy. So do we want a humorless society that is simply rife with condemnation and hate basically?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful,\u201d Musk responded. \u201cIt basically gives mean people a reason, it gives them a shield to be mean and cruel, armored and false virtue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
