Lilly Wachowski Blasts Elon Musk and<br />Ivanka Trump for 'Matrix' Reference Elon Musk recently took to Twitter to encourage<br />his 34.3 million followers to “take the red pill.” His message is a reference to<br />the 1999 film, ‘The Matrix.’ In the movie, Neo is encouraged to take a red pill in<br />order to see the harsh “truth” of the world. On the other hand, taking the blue pill<br />would mean continuing to live in an unseeable<br />“prison,” blinded from the “truth.” Musk is seemingly using the “red pill”<br />reference to once again speak out against <br />stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19. Ivanka Trump later tagged on to his<br />tweet in agreement, saying, “taken!” However, ‘The Matrix’ co-creator Lilly Wachowski<br />was less enthused about the pair’s reference to<br />her movie and likely their ideology as well. Lilly Wachowski,<br />via Twitter Wachowski also encouraged anyone drawn into<br />the tweet to donate to Brave Space Alliance. The organization is dedicated to helping LGBTQ<br />individuals and is currently working to aid transgender,<br />non-binary and intersex people during the pandemic.
