Tesla CEO Elon Musk has warned about the propaganda that is being reportedly spread at top US universities. This comes after Canadian author and professor Gad Saad took to social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to claim that 95-99% of university educators believe Kamala Harris would have been a superior president to Donald Trump. In his X post, Saad also urged parents to reconsider where they send their children for education. His remarks alleging top universities as a hotbed of political bias, also drew a response from Musk. Replying to the post, the tech billionaire warned that the level of propaganda at top US universities “would make North Korea jealous.”
Elon Musk on the spread of propaganda in top US universities
Musk replied to Saad’s post on X where he wrote: “I want you to stop and think about this for a moment: All of your children are being educated by academics, 95-99% of whom think that @kamalaharris would have been a far superior president to @realDonaldTrump. These academics have used their minds to conclude that Harris better encapsulates the values of the United States. Choose your universities wisely, or better yet send your children to whichever university Gad Saad is at. I hear that he’s great.”
Replying to this, Musk said: “The level of propaganda at elite universities would make North Korea jealous!”
“North Korea is less parasitized than Ivy League schools!” Saad said in the post’s thread responding to Musk’s comment, to which the SpaceX CEO replied with a flushed face emoji.
It’s important to note that Musk attended the University of Pennsylvania, which is also one of the eight Ivy League schools, where he earned two bachelor’s degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Physics from the College of Arts and Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Wharton School.
