That is a judgement on Musk and Trump. 'Woke' is a stereo type, it is used as a dog whistle rather than an accurate description of a large set of people. It is a way of 'othering' that is both very defined and yet a complete characterure.

It is one of those terms were if you were to actually find people that are truly 'woke' and respresent everything it stands for, it would be a very difficult task indeed. It is like taking the 'No true Scottsman' fallacy and tipping it on its head.
