In a recent interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk, a self-described "cultural Christian," discussed his views on religion and revealed that his son was misled into consenting to puberty blockers, attributing this to the "woke mind virus" and transgender ideology.

Absolutely not. A disgusting display of mockery of one of the most Holy and Sacred images of our Christian faith, by the least tolerant demographic in the world, the Radical Rainbow Mafia! SHAMEFUL! pic.twitter.com/HG70suLot2

The ceremony’s performance, featuring drag queens in a scene reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, drew harsh criticism, particularly from Christians, for its perceived insensitivity to a sacred Christian symbol. This broader artistic display, which also included a drag performance with children, sparked significant backlash online.
