The claim appears to have originated as satire. An online story titled “Elon Musk Bans DreamWorks Animation from X, “Don’t Want That Woke Pride On My Platform” contains a disclaimer that reads, “NOTE: This is SATIRE, it’s not true.” The website has also categorized the story as satire.

The satire reads, “In his latest and most controversial move, Elon Musk, CEO of X (formerly Twitter), has permanently banned DreamWorks Animation from the platform, citing the studio’s recent support of LGBTQ+ Pride as “too woke,” and, “Musk, who has long positioned himself as a crusader against what he calls “woke culture,” took to X to explain his decision.”
