On Thursday, Musk said that he was becoming politically active to stop the woke mind virus from preventing humankind from reaching Mars.

Musk made the remarks while responding to a question on his earlier message. On Wednesday, Musk posted on the platform that he would be the target of political attacks in the coming months.

Just curious, what is your motivation to become politically active? The user asked why you would make yourself a target. Why do you sabotage these goals by wading into political controversy? Is it worth it?

Musk wrote that unless it is stopped, the woke mind virus will destroy civilization and humankind will never reach Mars.

Over the last month, Musk has mentioned the "woke mind virus" on several occasions. He called Yale the center of the woke mind virus trying to destroy civilization.

In April, Musk used the term to say that it was making the service unwatchable.

The word "woke" has been weaponized by right-wing figures to mock progressive causes.

Musk bashed the Democratic party in a message on Wednesday, calling it a "party of division and hate." He then doubled down on his decision to vote Republican.

In the wake of a bombshell Insider article detailing how his company paid a flight attendant $250,000 to settle a sexual harassment claim against the billionaire, Musk commented on Thursday.
