On the political left wokeness often can be intolerant of the beliefs of others, as well as using it to proclaim one’s own superiority. I think that's what Elon Musk is referencing when he speaks against wokeism, and why it turns so many off. Basically it can become quite intolerant and offensive in it's position, and even physical. This is also true of many movements like that of climate change, and let me say, I certainly recognize the reality of climate change since it is a subject I taught. The recent display of what I call wokeness in action are the young women who through tomato juice at a van Gogh painting, Sunflowers, then glued themselves to the wall in the museum. Underlying their actions is an utter contempt for those who are what they would call climate change deniers, but in no way is this what you do to change people's minds on this subject.
