For real. Diversity could easily be considered antithetical to racism. Inclusion could be considered antithetical to sexism. But no, Chef Elon made pseudo-intellectual word salad.

But, "Worlds grossly richest man not big on equity" feels like an Onion article title.

Also, "woke" more or less means "enlightened," so "anti-woke" is pretty much "ignorance is strength."

I feel like wokeness in general requires empathy and understanding of the plight of others. Anti-woke means being unempathetic, and folks feel that is positive? I literally can't comprehend being for Team Sociopath, but millions of people will vote for Trump, so it's real.

Yeah, humanity has a dark side that comes out whenever we feel mildly threatened. It'll never stop.
