Musk originally wrote “Take the red pill,” to which Trump responded “Taken!” Both were referencing the reopening of America during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Fuck both of you,” Wachowski curtly replied. After her post went viral, she added, “Support @BSAllianceChi if you can.”
Musk has been openly in support of reopening American businesses, and has already attempted to reopen his Tesla factory, going against state orders.
“I think we’re rapidly moving towards opening up the country,” Musk explained during an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan. “It’s going to happen extremely fast over the next few weeks.”
“Where do civil liberties fit in this picture? What can the government make you do? What can they make you not do, and what’s okay?” Musk asked. “I think we went too far.”
Musk was even harsher on a conference call following the Telsa’s first-quarter profit: “Frankly, I would call it forcible imprisoning of people in their homes against all of, their constitutional rights, in my opinion,” he said. “It’s breaking people’s freedoms in ways that are horrible and wrong and not why they came to America or built this country. What the f—. Excuse me. Outrage. Outrage.”
