Elon Musk’s decision to discontinue “The View” brings to light a larger political and cultural controversy in the US.
Originally used to raise awareness of social injustices, the word “woke” has now turned into a divisive phrase.
Some see it as a sign of social awareness and essential advancement, while others see it as an excess of virtue signaling and political correctness.
Musk’s criticism of modern media’s emphasis on progressive social problems is reflected in the dramatic decision to cancel “The View.”
This move can be seen as an effort to reorient the network’s programming to what Musk would view as more impartial or politically neutral shows.
But there would be opposition to such a move. The devoted viewers of “The View” value its candid opinions on matters such as racial equality, women’s rights, and LGBTQ+ activism.
