Ilon Musk mocked the Barbie film for its leftist agenda
The world's richest man has mocked a blockbuster film about a doll
SpaceX founder and one of the world's richest men, Ilon Musk, has mocked the Barbie film on the social network he owns for its leftist agenda.
"If you drink every time Barbie says the word 'patriarchy' you will faint long before the film ends," the billionaire wrote. Ilon Musk's scathing comment adds to a long list of similar statements from conservative politicians and journalists.
For example, prominent commentator Ben Shapiro published a video parsing the film, which has been viewed 1.6 million times. "The basic premise of the film, politically speaking, is that men and women are on opposite sides of the barricades and hate each other. And literally, the only way to make the world a happy place is if women ignore men," he said.
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz called the film "Barbie" Chinese propaganda because it showed a map with a maritime border drawn on it that matched China's claims in the Asian region.
Podcaster Matt Walsh, who made a documentary critical of transgender people called "What is a Woman?", called "Barbie" "the most aggressive anti-male feminist propaganda ever to appear on film."
The film "Barbie" started with the best result of 2023
In its first weekend, the film earned $ 162 million in North America, and it was the best starting result of the year. The fate of the sequel is still in doubt.
