The internet erupts as Elon Musk declares that “Woke” is not appropriate for children and bans Disney’s “proud” content on X! 🚨🔥
Elon Musk has taken yet another audacious and divisive step by formally banning Disney’s “Proud” content on X (previously Twitter), claiming that “woke ideology is not for kids.”
Social media has been rocked by this surprise decision, with some applauding Musk for standing up to corporate objectives and others accusing him of hypocrisy and censorship.
🚨 What precisely took place? 🚨
Musk, who is well-known for his adamant opposition to “woke” culture, is accused of ordering X’s moderation staff to remove content from Disney’s The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, which is a remake of the cartoon series from the early 2000s.
Although the show has received accolades for its progressive themes and varied portrayal, recent episodes that addressed problems such as reparations, LGBTQ+ rights, and systematic racism caused controversy.
Musk apparently had enough and took action after previously criticizing Disney for promoting “woke” ideologies. Musk purportedly said in a since-deleted tweet:
Disney used to produce children’s films. They are now producing propaganda. Not on my platform.
🔥 The Internet Explodes—War Between Disney Supporters and Musk Fans 🔥
Social media was in disarray in a matter of minutes. Musk’s supporters applauded his choice, claiming that children’s media shouldn’t promote political views.
🔹 Conservative commentators said that Disney’s content has grown too politically tinged, hailing Musk as a “free speech warrior.”
By pointing out that Musk claims to favor free expression but is now limiting information he disagrees with, Disney fans and progressives accused Musk of hypocrisy.
An X user wrote:
“So Elon forbids Disney but permits hate speech and conspiracy theories? Make sense of it.
Another retaliated:
“At last! Someone opposing Disney’s absurdity. Children don’t require brainwashing.
🚀 Musk Redoubles—And Slams the CEO of Disney
Musk, who never backs down from confrontation, continued to tweet, this time targeting Disney CEO Bob Iger specifically.
“Disney was once an inspiration. It lectures now. Parents, pay attention.
Additionally, he made a suggestion that this might only be the start, implying that X might censor or demonetize additional “woke” content that he feels is detrimental to children.
What Comes Next? Is Disney Going to Take Back?
Many people are wondering whether Disney will retaliate, given that relations between Musk and the company are at an all-time high.
Will this result in a significant business conflict between the entertainment behemoth and X? What impact does this have on Musk’s platform’s free speech?
This struggle is far from done, that much is certain. 🔥🔥🔥
