Elon Musk says trans child was figuratively ‘killed by the woke mind virus’ and vows to destroy it: ‘My son is dead’

Tesla CEO Elon Musk believes his estranged transgender child was “killed by the woke mind virus” after being tricked into consenting to take puberty blockers.

The 53-year-old billionaire vowed to “destroy” the “incredibly evil” culture that allows the gender reassignment surgery his 20-year-old child Vivian Jenna Wilson, née Xavier, will have in 2022.

“I was basically tricked into signing documents for one of my older sons, Xavier,” the X owner told psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson in an interview with Daily Wire.

“This was before I even understood what was going on. There was COVID, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told that Xavier might commit suicide if he didn’t…”

Musk, who called the trial “incredibly evil,” said he was never told that the puberty blockers were “actually just sterilization drugs.”

“I was tricked into doing this,” Musk said.

“Basically, I lost my son. It’s called ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason is because your son is dead. My son, Xavier, is dead – killed by the woke mind virus.”

The SpaceX founder, who has a net worth of nearly $200 billion, said he made it his mission to end gender reassignment surgery on children after his son’s gender reassignment surgery.

“I vowed after that to destroy the woke mind virus,” he said. “And we’re making some progress.”

Vivian, one of six children Musk has with ex-wife Justine Wilson, made headlines in 2022 when she filed a petition in a California court to change her name and gender.

In the court filing, she also requested to take her mother’s last name to sever any connection to her famous father. She explained that she “no longer lives with my biological father and no longer wishes to be related to him in any way.”

Musk’s comments come just days after it was announced that he is moving his SpaceX and X headquarters from California to Texas due to a law signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom that prohibits school districts from requiring parents to notify them when a child begins using alternate pronouns.

“This is the last straw. Because of this law and many others before it that attacked both families and businesses, SpaceX will now be moving its headquarters from Hawthorne, California to Starbase, Texas,” Musk posted on X.

“I made it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws like this would force families and businesses to leave California to protect their children,” he added.
