Bad news for progressives, Elon Musk blocks Disney Pride content on X and says ‘Woke’ is not for kids.Bi

In a move that has sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and the wider cultural landscape, Elon Musk has made a bold statement by blocking Disney’s Pride content on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). Musk, who has long been a figure of controversy and influence in the tech world, seems to have drawn a line in the sand over the ongoing debate between progressivism and traditional values in media and entertainment. His recent comments, claiming that “woke” content is “not for kids,” have sparked intense debate and criticism, particularly from progressive communities who view this as a direct attack on LGBTQ+ visibility in mainstream media.

The controversy began when Disney, one of the largest media conglomerates globally, launched its Pride Month content across its platforms, including X. The content, which included messages of support for LGBTQ+ rights, rainbow-themed content, and pride messages, was meant to celebrate and uplift marginalized communities, especially the LGBTQ+ youth. Disney has long been at the forefront of promoting diversity and inclusion in its media, from TV shows to movies, particularly with its recent inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters in major productions like Lightyear and Strange World.

However, Musk, whose company X (formerly Twitter) has increasingly become a hub for political and cultural discourse, made it clear that he does not support such content. In a series of posts, Musk shared his belief that “woke” ideology, which often encompasses social justice causes such as LGBTQ+ rights, racial equality, and feminism, has no place in children’s entertainment. He further stated, “Woke is not for kids,” drawing a sharp line between what he considers acceptable in children’s media and what he views as overly politicized content.
