Elon Musk is one of the brainiest people on the planet and a fighter. He invented PayPal on his way to launching SpaceX and Tesla. Last week, Musk threatened to sue Alameda County because the pols wanted his employees to stay well distanced on a Tesla production line. Yeah, right, Musk replied — you'll have to arrest me first.
Musk, once a liberal in good standing, explained his outrage: "Somebody wants to stay in the house, that's great[.] ... But to say that they cannot leave their house and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist. This is not democratic. This is not freedom. Give people back their g------ freedom[.] ... Everything people have worked for all their lives is being destroyed in real time. I think the people are going to be very angry about this and are very angry."
Musk exhorted his 34 million Twitter followers: "Take the red pill."
The New York Times goofily referred to his message as "cryptic." Most people know that the hero in The Matrix films is offered a choice between a blue pill (comfortable delusions) and a red pill that lets you see reality and truth.
Never mind what the Times suggests; taking the red pill is not a new development. Fox News reported in 2017: "People of all ages and ethnicities are posting YouTube videos describing 'red pill moments' — personal awakenings that have caused them to reject leftist narratives imbibed since childhood from friends, teachers, and the news and entertainment media."
According to Newsweek in 2018, "The pop culture metaphor has become a popular phrase among conservatives. 'Being red pilled' widely signifies a free-thinking attitude and having been awakened."

Musk, unlike gates, has been moving in the right direction for a while now.
HOORAY Elon! I wavered back and forth. His interviews with Rogan put me in his camp.

It’s like an echo from “Atlas Shrugged”. Orren Boyle of Associated Steel vs Hank Rearden of Reardon Steel. Bill Gates vs Elon Musk.
“Musk, unlike gates, has been moving in the right direction for a while now.”
Gates is part of a globalist cabal.
Pray for Elon Musk.
It’s the red pilled vs the woke crowd.
TAKE THE RED PILL
Make America Great Again, and Again.
Elon and Trump are cut out of the same cloth.
“Last week, Musk threatened to sue Alameda County”
As long as he doesn’t attach the nuclear wessels....
I understand Elon has lost votes from Tesla/Prius owners. :-)
“Who is John Galt?”
He invented PayPal on his way to launching SpaceX and Tesla.
...
Actually, he created an online bank that merged with Paypal.
Musk, unlike gates, has been moving in the right direction for a while now.
...
I’ve noticed and stated here on FR a few times that Musk and Trump are similar in many ways.
Well, I hope he's right because that would lead to a Trump landslide victory in November!
Or the awakened crowd vs the woke crowd.

I'll bet he starts gaining car buyers from all those Red-Pilled guys and gals who have a newfound respect for the rebel tycoon. His high priced cars should have a new appeal to all those Republican-voting entrepreneurs out there. Is it any surprise he's moving some of his production to TEXAS! Smart move, Elon. Seems like Musk is not all about Government handouts anymore. He's making the transition. He had to break with the California fascists sooner or later. He found the perfect time to do so, and now he's a golden boy for Trump. Larry Ellison and Elon Musk in the Trump camp? You can't get more Silicon Valley cred than that. Even Zuckerberg just defended the President over Twitter's censorship. The times, they are a-changin. . . Make America Great Again... and Again! MAGAA! |
Exactly correct. Ayn Rand was "red pilling" people before red pilling was cool.
