Elon Musk warns moviegoers: ‘You’ll faint before film ends’, slams ‘Barbie’.
Elon Musk Slams “Barbie” Movie’s Woke Agenda
Twitter CEO Elon Musk has joined the chorus of critics who are tearing into the “Barbie” movie for its incessant focus on the “patriarchy.” Despite its massive success at the box office, raking in $155 million domestically during its opening weekend, the film’s woke agenda has sparked strong backlash from conservatives, and Musk didn’t hold back in expressing his disdain for the movie.
If you take a shot every time Barbie says the word “patriarchy,” you will pass out before the movie ends.

Musk has referred to the woke mindset as “arguably one of the biggest threats to modern civilization.” In 2021, he mentioned it in relation to the satirical site The Onion, stating, “It seems to have been affected by the woke mind virus in recent years. That just makes everything less funny. Woke mind virus is a world without humor.”
“Wokeness essentially wants to make comedy illegal,” he continued. “At its core, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful.”
Musk’s comment about “Barbie” came after Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro released a 43-minute review of the film, which sparked a heated reaction from fans. Shapiro noted, ”All you need to know about #BarbieTheMovie is that it unironically uses the word ‘patriarchy’ more than ten times.”

In a column, Shapiro stated that the film “was a bait-and-switch because the entire movie is a feminist diatribe about the evils of the modern patriarchy. They mainstream that within a bunch of Left-wing social gobbledygook in a movie that is supposed to be sort of a fun romp with a Barbie doll. And when you notice their agenda, they get very upset.”
Director Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote the film, described writing an abstract poem about Barbie and comparing it to the Apostles’ Creed, the affirmation of certain core Christian beliefs.

“Ken was invented after Barbie to burnish Barbie’s position in our eyes and in the world. That kind of creation myth is the opposite of the creation myth in Genesis,” Gerwig said.
One of the characters in the film delivers a speech in which she laments, “It is literally impossible to be a woman… You have to answer for men’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of complaining… never forget that the system is rigged… I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us.”
