Wachowski and her sister Lana directed films and series including V for Vendetta, Sense8, and, most famously, The Matrix. Redditor PhiloBruh replied with the top comment (seen below).There's a little backstory. Later that day after the tweet and ensuing controversy, Redditor drphilisturning69 posted to the r/OutOfTheLoop sub asking, “What's up with Elon Musk's recent tweet ‘take the red pill?’” The discussion quickly reached the top post on the subreddit with over 11,000 upvotes and 3,100 comments. On May 17th, 2020, the Instagram account wefuckinghatedonaldtrump uploaded a photoshopped image of Musk made to look like a Karen (shown below), receiving over 6,400 likes. Later in the day, Musk then tweeted a meme depicting Morpheus from the film (seen below) with the caption, “When u take DayQuil & NyQuil at same time,” (117,000 likes, 9,800 retweets). Shortly after, as well as due to the subsequent trending of The Matrix on Twitter, Lilly Wachowski retweeted both Musk and Ivanka saying, “Fuck both of you.” This tweet (shown below) was liked over 208,000 times and retweeted 41,700 times. On May 17th, 2020, Ivanka Trump also retweeted Musk alongside the caption, “Taken!” and received over 83,000 likes and 17,000 retweets.

Twitter user _mikeneezy also chimed in (seen below) and said, “Of course the billionaire wants you to take red pill. Other users lashed out, seen in a tweet from Twitter user joncoopertweets, who said, “Take the red pill and shove it, Elon.” This reply was liked over 5,500 times and retweeted 447 times. One such tweet (shown below) from Twitter user TheRightMelissa supports his message with the caption, “Democrats’ moving the goal post from stay home to “ flatten the curve” to now “stay home forever as we take all your freedoms & rights” … has red pilled millions of Americans,” which received over 6,400 likes and 1,100 retweets. On May 17th, 2020, following the tweet, numerous users replied to his remarks with a mixture of support and criticism. Others expressed confusion over the message, with many associating the phrase "red pill" with right-wing ideologies and the “red rose emoji” with democratic socialism. The tweet also follows the decision by California officials (and other states in the U.S.) to extend the stay-at-home orders. In recent weeks, Musk expressed his displeasure over the quarantine measures, particularly in California where Tesla’s factory is located, due to the effects these lockdowns were having on his company and the economy as a whole, leading many to conclude that this was the reasoning behind his message. In roughly 24 hours, the tweet (seen below) received over 476,000 likes, 95,000 retweets and a slew of comments from detractors and supporters. On May 17th, 2020, Elon Musk tweeted “Take the red pill 🌹” on Twitter.
