An article blaming San Francisco’s problems of crime and rampant homelessness on progressive policies drew a scathing reaction from Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who said that the “woke mind virus” had driven the “once beautiful and thriving” area to ruin.

Musk was responding to a post on Twitter about a recent performance at a San Francisco venue by comedian Dave Chappell, who lamented that the city had taken a sharp turn for the worse.
