Lilly Wachowski Blasts Elon Musk andbr Ivanka Trump for 'Matrix' Reference Elon Musk recently took to Twitter to encouragebr his 34.3 million followers to “take the red pill.” His message is a reference tobr the 1999 film, ‘The Matrix.’ In the movie, Neo is encouraged to take a red pill inbr order to see the harsh “truth” of the world. On the other hand, taking the blue pillbr would mean continuing to live in an unseeablebr “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 hisbr tweet in agreement, saying, “taken!” However, ‘The Matrix’ co-creator Lilly Wachowskibr was less enthused about the pair’s reference tobr her movie and likely their ideology as well. Lilly Wachowski,br via Twitter Wachowski also encouraged anyone drawn intobr the tweet to donate to Brave Space Alliance. The organization is dedicated to helping LGBTQbr individuals and is currently working to aid transgender,br non-binary and intersex people during the pandemic.
