Elon Musk Finds #StayWoke T-shirts at Twitter HQ

Elon Musk, continuing his overhaul of Twitter, said Tuesday he had stumbled upon a closet full of “#StayWoke” t-shirts at the company’s headquarters.

In a Twitter post, Musk shared a video of a closet containing shelves stacked with the “#StayWoke” t-shirts.

“Here we are at the merch … and there’s an entire closet full of hashtag woke t-shirts,” he says.

“A super closet,” someone says off-camera.

Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey wore a “#StayWoke” t-shirt during an interview with journalist Peter Kafka for ReCode’s Code conference in 2016.

When asked to explain his shirt, Dorsey said the meaning has evolved over time but “to me… it’s really being aware, and staying aware, and keep questioning.”

“Being awake, and eyes wide open around what’s happening in the world,” Dorsey said.
