CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk has shared a deeply personal experience involving his child’s gender transition, revealing that he felt “tricked” into consenting to puberty blockers.
In a candid interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson, Musk expressed his concerns about the treatment’s long-term effects and the motivations behind its recommendation.
He described the experience as “incredibly evil” and claimed that he “lost” his son, Xavier, now known as Vivian Jenna Wilson, to the “woke mind virus.”
Musk stated: “It’s evil. You’re taking kids who are far below the age of consent.
“It’s very possible for adults to manipulate children who are having an actual identity crisis into believing that they are the wrong gender.”
Musk disclosed: “Well, it happened to one of my older boys. I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told Xavier might commit suicide.”
Peterson, challenging the notion, said: “That was a lie right from the outset. No reliable clinician ever believed that.
“There was never any evidence for that, and also, if there is a higher suicide rate, the reason is the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria. And every good clinician knows that, too, and they’re too cowardly to come out and say it.”
Musk added: “It’s incredibly evil. And I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison.
“I was tricked into doing this. It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs.
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by ‘the woke mind’ virus.”
“So I vowed to destroy ‘the woke mind’ virus after that. And we’re making some progress.”
This revelation comes as Musk announced plans to relocate his company’s headquarters from California to Texas, citing the state’s new legislation on gender identity and parental rights as the final straw.
“This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas,” Musk wrote on X.
Daily Mail reports that Vivian Musk, formerly known as Xavier, publicly announced her transgender identity in June 2022, at the age of 18.
At the same time, she petitioned to legally change her name to Vivian and adopt her mother’s surname.
“I no longer want to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” Vivian said.
