This is blatantly false.

* You made the mailing list post on 22 Jan 2023.

* Elon Musk first used the phrase (on Twitter, at least) on 19 Dec 2021. [0]

* As of May 2022 at the latest, he was regularly using it in tweets, including ones with tens and hundreds of thousands of likes. [1][2][3]

* By the end of 2022, "woke mind virus" was well-known enough that other users were cracking jokes about it. [4][5]

Apparently you follow him a lot more closely than I do, nonetheless I stand by my point even if I might use different words today.

I don't follow him at all, and in fact I try to stay as far away from anything involving him as possible. But your claim didn't pass the smell test, so I looked it up. You might consider doing the same before making easily-disprovable claims in the future; at least in this thread it seems to be a recurring problem for you.
