Elon Musk deadnames his transgender son: “My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus"
Elon Musk disclosed that his son Xavier was “figuratively killed” by the "woke mind virus" after being misled into agreeing to puberty blockers, blaming the tragedy on this ideological influence.
In an interview, Elon Musk disclosed that one of his sons was "figuratively dead" after he was misled into consenting to puberty blockers for the child.
In the discussion, Musk also mentioned his commitment to eradicating the virus.
Musk told Jordan Peterson,"It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier."
"This is before I had any understanding of what was going on. Covid-19 was going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn't," the billionaire said.
Peterson replied, "That was a lie right from the outset."
"Incredibly evil, and I agree with you that the people that have been promoting this should go to prison," Musk shared.
The Tesla CEO mentioned that he wasn't informed that puberty blockers are essentially "actually just sterilisation drugs" when he agreed to the treatment for his son.
"I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason," Musk said.
"The reason it's called deadnaming is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."
After a lengthy pause, Musk added, "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that."
Musk's disclosure followed his inquiry about his views on doctors conducting sex change procedures on children, which both he and Peterson deemed "evil."
The Daily Mail reported that Xavier changed his name to Vivian Musk after coming out as transgender in June 2022.
Vivian stated at the time, according to the report, "I no longer want to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."
