 Bill Maher sat down for an interview with Elon Musk and he had the opportunity to actually ask one of the richest people on the planet some Really important questions given how much influence and power Elon Musk has But expectedly that didn't happen and even though I don't think any of us expected a hard-hitting interview from Bill Maher I mean I thought that the bootlicking would at least be kept to a minimum, right? That he would contain himself, but that didn't happen and he ended up deep-throating Elon Musk's boot on National television and if you think that I'm being hyperbolic Let's watch it. There's a very few people who actually make Change happen You are one of those people. Well, you're a likable guy. I mean, I mean they attack you a lot They do I love it that you have a sense of humor because a guy as important as you who makes changes Yeah, could use your powers for evil and not good The fact that absolutely you could Of course, I would yeah never use them for evil. No, I know Let me get back to you being a genius geniuses are gonna be a little quirky sometimes But your heart is always in the right place. You were trying to fix this world Jesus Christ Bill At least let him take you to dinner first That was just embarrassing, but it's very on-brand for Bill Maher But as difficult as that was to watch it did provide us with some insight into Bill Maher and You know, it's really evident that he looks up to Elon Musk because You can tell that he kind of sees himself in Elon Musk in the sense that Elon Musk like him is another individual who is Incorrectly labeled as conservative when they didn't actually change their politics, you know, it remains the same It's just that everyone else in society has changed. That's actually what Bill Maher said It's a very narcissistic view to have but I mean, you know, Bill Maher sees himself in Elon Musk and identifies with him specifically because of this Misattributing of political ideals to him Bill Maher still maintains that he's not a conservative even though he sounds identical to conservatives But regardless, you know, he he hates that everyone else views him as a conservative And he specifically doesn't like that people are lambasting him on Twitter for having bad Regressive antiquated conservative takes now since he was talking to the manager of Twitter Well, he wanted to ask him whether or not there was anything that can be done about the mean girls on Twitter Who grill him for his dumb fuck takes and he certainly did ask that very question See, here's why I don't tweet anymore because you may be the mayor of Tweet Town now. Yeah And I'm glad I like it that the mayor likes my jokes But the reason I don't do it anymore is because the mob of mean girls is still there And I didn't even know what pisses them off. They're so nuts these kids I feel like I'm walking on a roof with a blindfold. I could fall off any time That was the most innocuous thing, but it's like, you know, I said George Washington was a great president Oh, how dare you? Yeah. Yeah, exactly hit some floors. But but It's instrumental in this generation of the United States. Hey, Bill Maher this shoe. Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong Corporate wants you to spot the difference between those two clips They're the same clip Look that right there that clip of principal Skinner That is Bill Maher in a nutshell rather than talking to people about their Frustrations with him in areas of disagreement He's choosing to stomp his feet and claim that everyone else is wrong and he's right There's no way he can possibly be wrong Bill. You live in a bubble and you're out of touch See I used to be a fan of you But you're very clearly surrounded by yes men and you insulate yourself with people who agree with you You're also insulated by your wealth as well And this happens to people with a lot of money and a lot of power Like if you never leave your ivory tower and converse with the common folk you start to lose touch You start to lose focus and that's what happened to Bill Maher And he refuses to admit that he's the one who lost touch so instead he says everyone else has changed not me I mean again, I said that this is narcissistic But like this is quintessential narcissistic behavior right here. It's just it's so embarrassing that he would say this There's no level of introspection whatsoever now for a good portion of the interview They end up talking about the dumbest shit imaginable for example Bill Maher pretends as if Elon Musk has a PhD in woke is I'm gonna ask him to define the woke mind virus as if he knows What that is himself, but let's listen first of all, what is the woke mind virus? And if we don't deal with this nothing else can get done. Tell me why you think that Yeah, so I Think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti-meritocratic and anything that is Results in the suppression of a free speech First of all, it's so hilarious to me that Bill Maher is treating the woke mind virus as The most important issue of our time. It's not one of the most important issues It is the most important issue of our time more important than money in politics Capitalism climate change notes woke ism That is the barrier to change because as we all know our government Institutions have been captured by the woke mind virus and that's why there's so many problems in this country Currently, that's leading to the institutional breakdown. You know, if it wasn't for the woke mind virus then Roe v. Wade wouldn't have been overturned You know corruption in politics legalized bribery wouldn't have become a thing. I mean It's just an idiotic viewpoint. It's so dumb But by Musk's definition He would be woke because his rise is antithetical to meritocracy Which he says being anti-meritocratic is one of the elements of being infected with the woke mind virus He doesn't have a rags to riches story. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth He was born into wealth and his father owned an emerald mind second of all if being woke also includes censorship Then Elon Musk has that in spades considering that he censors people on Twitter all the time Including doing censorship at the behest of governments For example, Twitter is censoring critics of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and silencing critics who share a BBC documentary Exposing his human rights abuses. So it turns out that Elon Musk by his own standards, mind you is infected with the woke mind virus But Bill Maher is going to treat him as if he's some sort of an authority on this subject as if this is a serious issue in the first place and this next clip they're going to basically whine more about how Bad the woke mind virus is and it's just like this shows that like Bill Maher is Past the point of no return. He's too far gone. There's just no saving him after you see how stupid this conversation is this woke mind virus How did it start? Was it bats? Was it escaped from a lab? I mean, what is your assessment of why because it's fairly recent Why did why how did it start and why I? Was I so I was trying to figure out where where it's coming from. I think it's actually been a long time brewing in that it's I think it's been going on for a while It and The amount of indoctrination that that's happening in schools and universities is I think far beyond what parents realize And I only I sort of came to realize this somewhat somewhat late The the experience that we had In in high school and college is not the experience that that kids that they are having And and hasn't been for I don't know ten ten years maybe 20 years. So Parents themselves also a big part of the problem they well, I suppose in some cases that parents but but I think like the Parents are just generally not aware of what their their kids are being taught or what they're not being taught They're letting the kids think that they're equal. I mean, yeah Let me let me give you an example that a fair amount told me which you know his daughters go to college and and so I go to high school in the Bay Area and and He was asking them like well, so who are the You know who the first few presidents of the United States They could name Washington, but and I said, what do you know about him? Well, he was a slave owner. What else, right? Nothing Right, okay. That's maybe you should know more than that You know, yeah, yeah That is the woke mind virus Incredible political commentary there from two geniuses they did a fantastic job Demonstrating just how important this issue really is that right there. That's what the woke mind virus is Knowing that George Washington had slaves. This is the most important issue of our time We have to address this before we tend to any other issues in society Let me just remind you all these are grown men We're talking about here and they're having a conversation on national television about the dumbest fucking shit imaginable and we're supposed to take them seriously Unbelievable now Elon Musk doesn't offer any meaningful commentary here because he's not very bright But since he's right-wing and he's a right-wing culture warrior himself He defaults to right-wing bullshit about school indoctrination or some nonsense like that see parents They don't know that their children are being taught all of these things and they're being indoctrinated and the far left is trying to radicalize your kids and yada yada and What bugs me the most is that they're treating this like it's a new phenomenon Which is incredibly a historical first and foremost the reason why Musk thinks this is new is because he's ignorant second of all Think about what happened during our history and the way that any massive social shift was framed by conservatives racist segregationists framed school integration as a far-left takeover as schools and They fear mongered about the danger that black people pose to kids in the same way that conservatives are now fear mongering about the danger That lgbtq plus people post the children so they're using the exact same playbook But these two morons are saying well, you know this whole PC or woke thing is actually very new No It's not new. There's always been progress and pushback to said progress There's always been social blowback to massive social change The real mind virus here is right-wing propaganda that both of these dipshits have fallen for hook line and sinker That is the issue here But Bill Maher also says that the problem is that they're letting the kids think that they're equal First and foremost, I thought that equality was the goal for liberals like Bill Maher But yet, you know, he's not conservative. He's still a liberal. Mm-hmm. Yeah, sure now second of all the whole contention with CRT I thought was this hyper focus on inequality and Privilege and how that was tantamount to the oppression Olympics and that's why it's bad But no, they're telling the kids that they're equal. I Mean, it doesn't even make sense. Maybe Bill Maher misspoke But I feel like he should have his talking points down given how significant of an issue with this is according to him right They're just like this is just two dipshits blabbing about the dumbest shit imaginable That's all that this is here We really don't have to ascribe any additional value to it But I mean they are both out of touch their conservative elites and really what this is about is they're in their feelings Because people online make fun of them and criticize them precisely for takes like this bad takes dumb takes Now they know that the woke mind virus isn't the biggest issue of our time But the reason why they're attaching more value to it is because people criticizing them online It makes them feel victimized and they really want to be the victims right wingers always try to portray themselves as the victims As they victimize everyone else in society and because these elitist pricks lead very privileged lives Well, they feel the need to make their perceived oppression there are entire identities because that's kind of like the one thing I think that tethers them to the common folk and makes it seem as if they're not so different Than us see, you know, there are people who struggle to pay the bills working a shitty job that they hate where they're mistreated But also, you know rich people have problems too bill mar gets criticized online for saying dumb things We all have problems. See there's no class differences here. Look away The real issue according to these morons isn't that elites like ilan musk are exploiting his workers and hoarding wealth It's the woke mind virus like doesn't this feel like they're trying to distract you from the real problems that class divisions create It feels that way because that's exactly what they're trying to do Whittingly or unwittingly all of this is a distraction Because they don't want you to know that a rich people like them are robbing you blind Specifically ilan musk, but of course bill mar didn't take the time to ask him about that Ask him about the union busting and the exploitation and the abusive behavior No, he instead decided to suck him off about how great he is because um He's being persecuted by the wokists online these are not serious people and only The dumbest people in society watched that conversation I think there was anything substantive said there because I watched all 20 minutes of it And it was extremely stupid. You could hear toddlers have a more substantive debate about politics than these two fucking idiots Up yours Sons of bitches The dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother. She was stroking herself absentmindedly. I let her have her way The genital region was exposed. I let her have her way
