Musk elaborated on his perspective, asserting, "Woke mind virus, in my view, amplifies racism amplifies frankly sexism and all the isms." He criticized the ideology for its divisive nature, claiming that "while purporting to do the opposite it actually divides people and makes them sort of hate each other and it makes people hate themselves."

In a previous conversation with Joe Rogan in October, Musk attributed the widespread dissemination of the "mind virus" to the woke left, blaming it for the zombification of San Francisco. He argued, "A philosophy that would ordinarily be quite niche, and ideologically constrained so that the fallout area would be limited, was effectively given an information weapon ... to propagate what is essentially a mind virus to the rest of Earth." He ominously referred to it as "the end of civilization."
