Elon Musk has unfollowed the official Olympics account on X, formerly Twitter, after the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, which included a performance many perceived as mocking Christianity. 

Musk, who was in Paris during the ceremony, praised the laser show but later expressed displeasure with the controversial drag parody of the Last Supper. 

In a recent interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk, a self-described "cultural Christian," discussed his views on religion and revealed that his son was misled into consenting to puberty blockers, attributing this to the "woke mind virus" and transgender ideology.

The ceremony’s performance, featuring drag queens in a scene reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, drew harsh criticism, particularly from Christians, for its perceived insensitivity to a sacred Christian symbol. This broader artistic display, which also included a drag performance with children, sparked significant backlash online.
