Elon Musk Unveils $390 Million Anti-Woke Campaign With Mind-Blowing 6-Word Message to Kick Off 2025

Elon Musk, tech mogul and CEO of Twitter (now X), made waves on January 1, 2025, when he announced a colossal $390 million fundraising campaign to combat “woke culture.” True to his showmanship, Musk accompanied the announcement with a cryptic six-word message that went viral on the Internet:

“Stay asleep. Wake up. Choose freedom.”

The featured campaign

The initiative, called Project Awakening, aims to challenge cancel culture, promote open discourse and restore what he calls “the true essence of free speech.” The $390 million in funding will go toward creating platforms, hosting debates and funding legal defenses for those he says have been unfairly silenced.

Why now?

In a tweet following the announcement, Musk clarified:
“2025 is the year of questioning. We’ve had enough of this madness and are ready to bring reason back into the debate.”

His bold move comes amid growing debate over the balance between freedom of expression and social responsibility.

Public reaction

Social media was awash with opinions, with critics calling the campaign another example of Musk seeking to stir up controversy, while his supporters hailed it as a bold stand against a “broken system.”

With this provocative start to 2025, Musk proves once again that he knows how to make headlines, whether people love him or hate him.
