Minneapolis shooting: Elon Musk slams CNN for not mentioning Robin Westman was 'trans'; labels it 'woke mind virus'

Musk’s commentary reflects his long-running hostility to what he calls “woke ideology.” Over the years, he has mocked pronoun use, derided protections for trans people, and pledged to oppose gender-affirming care for minors. His position has often sparked criticism from activists and employees alike, but he has remained defiant, presenting himself as a defender of “common sense” against progressive overreach.
