Elon Musk Fires Back At Censorship Supporters With A Cryptic Post: 'You're Not Woke Or Progressive. You're A Tyrant.'

Amid an ongoing feud with Brazil, Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently shared a meme criticizing censorship and labeling those who support it as tyrants, not progressives.

What Happened: On Tuesday, Musk took to X to express his stance on free speech with a meme from the popular TV show “The Office.”

The meme conveyed a message, “If you support the side that censors free speech and facts. You are not woke or progressive. You’re a tyrant.”

The tweet comes amid a broader conversation about internet regulation and censorship, topics that Musk has been vocal about, especially following his acquisition of the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

Why It Matters: Musk is currently embroiled in a dispute with the Brazilian Supreme Court, which has led to an obstruction of justice investigation against him. Musk’s recent interactions with Brazilian officials have been contentious, as he has openly criticized the actions of Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. In a public exchange with a Brazilian member of Congress, Musk questioned why the Parliament permits what he perceives as Moraes’ dictatorial powers.

Previously, Musk called for the impeachment of Brazil’s top judge, which resulted in the obstruction of justice inquiry against him. He labeled the inquiry as an “abuse of economic power.” Furthermore, Musk has condemned the Brazilian Supreme Court’s “draconian” demands to block certain social media accounts, proposing alternative approaches to avoid a potential ban on X.
