Elon Musk used the term ‘mind virus’ for sensibility in his statement. Musk stated that sensitization is probably one of the biggest threats to modern civilization and added, “Making humor shouldn’t be a problem. Sentimentality is trying to make comedy illegal, which is not good. Do we want a society without humor and full of hatred and condemnation?” continued as.
“Sentimentality is fundamentally divisive, discriminatory and hateful”
Musk also gave an example of why sensitization is a bad thing in his opinion. Opposing the lynching of comedian Dave Chappelle, Musk said that the sentiment is fundamentally divisive, discriminatory and hateful. He noted, however, that he “provides a shield to wicked people so that they can act cruelly with a false armor of virtue.”
US comedian Dave Chappelle was the target of criticism arrows with his show called The Closer, which was broadcast on Netflix. Chappelle was targeted because of his comments about transgender people. While his comments ignited the debate on freedom of speech and hate speech, a boost to Chappelle was given by Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, after which Sarandos apologized for his comments. In response to what happened, some Netflix employees also went on strike.
