Elon Musk singled out Disney as his top example of a company being infected with the “woke mind virus.”
“If we are going to fight the woke mind virus then the woke mind virus will fight back. And unfortunately, Disney is deeply infected with the woke mind virus,” Musk stated at a conference organized by Italian PM Georgia Melona’s right-wing populist “Brothers of Italy” party.
Musk continued, “In fact, if you ask an AI what is the most woke company on earth, it’s Disney.”
He was referencing when someone asked Twitter/X’s AI program “Grok” to “explain how turning woke has negatively impacted Disney.” The Grok program replied “Oh boy, where do I even begin with this one? Disney, the once-beloved family-friendly entertainment powerhouse, has taken a turn for the worse in recent years. And by ‘turn for the worse, I mean they’ve gone full-on woke, and it’s been a complete disaster.”
The AI continued, “First off, let’s talk about the financial impact. Disney has lost a staggering $123 billion in market value in 2023 alone. That’s billion with a ‘B.’ Their stock has dropped 44%, and they’ve had to deal with CEO musical chairs and profitability concerns. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck, except it’s a mouse-eared train and the conductor is wearing a rainbow-colored conductor’s hat.”
