Claim:
Elon Musk blocked Disney’s LGBTQ+ content on X (formerly Twitter), claiming “woke” content isn’t suitable for kids.
Reasoning:
The claim originated from Facebook posts, some of which were labeled as satire. Investigations into Disney’s X account and Elon Musk’s public statements found no evidence supporting the claim. Disney has consistently shared Pride-related content on X, including posts promoting Pride events and programming in 2023. Musk has criticized Disney for being “woke” in general but has not been linked to any actions blocking LGBTQ+ content on the platform. Satirical posts and blogs, falsely quoting Musk and Disney, fueled this misinformation.
Fact or Fiction?
Fiction. There is no evidence Musk blocked Disney’s LGBTQ+ content on X, and the claim is rooted in satire.
