Tesla Inc. TSLA , has recently expressed on X, formerly
Twitter, that Google’s search results are influenced by what he terms the ‘woke mind virus.’ What Happened : On March 21, 2024, Musk responded to a post which claimed that
Google had altered its search results for the definition of ‘bloodbath’. This change reportedly occurred after former President
Donald Trump used the term . Musk’s tweet was a quote to a user who pointed out the change in Google’s search results. Musk stated, “Google is deeply infected with the woke mind virus.” See Also: Compute, Not Fiat Or
