Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has shared a personal experience involving his transgender child, Xavier, now known as Vivian Jenna Wilson, during a live interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson.
Gatekeepers News reports that Musk claimed he was “tricked” into granting permission for his child to undergo puberty blockers.
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 god-d*** clinician knows that, too, and they’re too cowardly to come out and say it.”
Continuing, Musk said, “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.”
Musk’s comments come after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1955 into law, enabling schools to keep a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity confidential from their parents.
Musk has announced plans to relocate SpaceX’s headquarters from California to Texas in response to the new legislation.
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.
