At some point, Peterson attempted to move on, but Musk blurted out– “So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that.” He said those words with a determination to have them proclaimed. He vowed to take vengeance for the death of his son.

As I listened to the interview Monday night in my home, much later than most others on X had seen it, I felt a common thread reach out between the tech guru and me.
