o Disney’s pride material on X was not blocked by Elon Musk. Elon Musk, the owner of X, has criticized Disney on social media for being “woke,” however it is untrue to say that Musk has prohibited the company’s LGBTQ+ material.
In a Facebook post on November 15, it was said, “Elon Musk blocks Disney’s pride content on X, says ‘woke’ isn’t for kids,” and it included pictures of Mickey Mouse and Musk’s hands making a heart shape over a pride flag.
In an attempt to counteract misleading information on its News Feed, Meta reported this post. (Learn more about our collaboration with Meta, the company that owns Threads, Instagram, and Facebook.)
In 2023, The Walt Disney Company referred to themselves as “an avid and long-standing champion of LGBTQIA+ communities and families.” Disney+ also has a part of their platform devoted to pride content.
We looked for postings on Pride on Disney’s X account and discovered a number of them, the most recent of which was in April 2023 when the company announced a Pride event in June.
It marketed the TV special “Say It With Pride: Disney+ Celebrates #Pride365” in June 2023. Two years before, it promoted the Pride Month virtual concert “This Is Me.”
In contrast, Musk said in December 2023 that “Disney has a major content problem,” called the company’s inclusion policies “institutionalized racism and sexism” in February,
And claimed in July that Disney is run by a “woke mind virus.” However, we couldn’t find any evidence on his account that he is banning Disney’s pride material on X.
We couldn’t find any reliable evidence that he has, including press reports or remarks made by Musk or Disney in public.
The identical photographs used in the Nov. 15 message were also uncovered in another Nov. 13 Facebook post.
A designation that is absent from the post we are fact-checking is only present in the earlier one: “Rated satire.” A similar Facebook post from SpaceX Fanclub,
Which solely posts self-described satire, was also discovered by us “Pride content blocked on X permanently ‘protecting kids comes first,’” said the post.
It referred to a blog piece, also titled “satire,” that included alleged X postings from actor Elliot Page and Musk. Neither person’s account had any such quotations that we could find.
Disney removed an episode of the cartoon series “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” that contained a plot concerning a transgender athlete, according to a report published by.
The entertainment and gaming magazine Polygon on November 15. The show’s artists cited the recent election of President-elect Donald Trump, but according to Polygon,
An unnamed Disney insider said that the studio made the decision to postpone the episode more than a year ago. Claims that Musk stopped Disney’s pride material are rated as untrue.
