The billionaire slammed wokeness for ruining comedy \u2014 such as The Onion, which he ripped for becoming \u201creally politically correct\u201d and for not making fun of \u201canything on the Left.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt used to be much more even-handed, The Onion, and then they just got the woke mind virus to the point where \u2026 it used to be very funny and then it was not that funny,\u201d Musk said. \u201cYou know, SNL, I used to be a huge fan of SNL. \u2026 many, many, many, if not, most of the SNL episodes are kind of a moral lecture on why we\u2019re bad human beings, instead of comedy.

For example, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/stop-projecting-elon-musk-blasts-elizabeth-warren-for-saying-hes-freeloading-off-everyone-else\">blasted<\/a> Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) for arguing that he freeloads off others by benefiting from a \u201crigged\u201d tax system.<\/p>\n<p>Warren suggested on Twitter that the \u201crigged tax code\u201d ought to be changed so that the multibillionaire will \u201cstop freeloading off everyone else.\u201d Musk, however, leads Tesla, SpaceX, and several smaller technology ventures.
