In this thread i want to explore the popularly known buzzword.The “Matrix” is notoriously known from the movies and the red-pill spaces.
Matrix
Paper money or digital money is an example of a societal lie that we all accept. Although it has no value on its own, what it represents gives it value.
Debt is yet another instance. If i went into a million dollars debt and fled to Somalia and they are unable to reach me, who says I would be required to pay the debt? The debt still exist but it also don't exist because I'm no longer a player in their game so the lie has no value.
Also, individuals like Andrew Tate(pre-islam) preach escaping the matrix but their advice to you is to work hard to accumulate wealth. This is a feeble effort to escape the matrix. Being wealthy merely allows you to live with a few looser regulations.The hustle till you drop mentality will only cause you to idolise materialism as a result.
So your asking what are good examples of escaping the Matrix. There are many Christ/Isa(as), Muhammed(SAW), Moses/Musa(AS) and even Budda(i know buddisim is kufr but he is still a good example you should read his story).
We all know that Muhammad (SAW) urged people to quit worshipping idols, he broke the matrix. The societal lie they upheld was these idols have any control and they were the same power as Allah(SWT).
Because pilgrims from all around Arabia travelled to Mecca to worship their idols, the Meccan elites benefited financially from this. It was therefore against their interests when Muhammad (SAW) began to preach monotheism. This why they were so violent against him from the onset.
Same with the prior two examples I gave(Money and Debt) the matrix elites will lash out against anyone who tries to change or break it.If a nation doesn't pay its debt or use the dollar they are in big risk from uncle ben(USA).
Another intriguing point about all these characters who break the Matrix they first go through societal exclusion.
Many prophets faced societal exclusion either willingly or non willingly. Here is an excerpt on the Nebi.
When christians are talking about the 7 deadly sins they were on point. Avoid pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth.
Here are example how a nation would exploit these sins:
Pride
In conclusion to break matrix, you should physically leave it so you may look at it from the outside. Pursuing a career, notoriety, or wealth will only keep you stuck in the game longer. Think about why did the nebi and the sahaba being so incredibly powerful lived so humbly.

The set of societal lies we all agree upon.

Many prophets faced societal exclusion either willingly or non willingly. Here is an excerpt on the Nebi.
When Prophet Muhammad was nearly forty he had been known to pass long hours in retirement meditating and speculating over all aspects of creation around him. This meditative temperament helped to widen the mental gap between him and his compatriots.
He used to provide himself with barley porridge and water and then directly head for the hills and ravines in the neighborhood of Makkah. One of these in particular was his favorite resort — a cave named Hira’, in the Mount An-Nur. It was only two miles from Makkah, a small cave four yards long and 1.75 yards wide.
He would always go there and invite wayfarers to share his modest provision. He used to devote most of his time, and Ramadan in particular, to worship and meditation on the universe around him.
His heart was restless about the moral evils and idolatry that were rampant among his people; he was as yet helpless because no definite course, or specific approach had been available for him to follow and rectify the ill practices around him.
This solitude attended with this sort of contemplative approach must be understood in its Divine perspective. It was a preliminary stage to the period of grave responsibilities that he was to shoulder very soon.
Privacy and detachment from the impurities of life were two indispensable prerequisites for the Prophet’s soul to come into close communion with the Unseen Power that lies behind all aspects of existence in this infinite universe. It was a rich period of privacy which lasted for three years and ushered in a new era, of indissoluble contact with that Power. (Saifur Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri, Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum)
