Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk spoke about his estranged son Xavier publicly for the first time, during a recent interview with Canadian podcaster and psychologist Jordan B. Peterson.
The X owner revealed he was “essentially tricked” into signing documents for Xavier’s transgender transition. Musk said that he was misled into consenting to puberty blockers, which he believes are “sterilization drugs,” without fully understanding the implications.
"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 was going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn't…" Musk told Peterson.
"That was a lie right from the outset," Peterson interjected.
"Incredibly evil, and I agree with you that the people that have been promoting this should go to prison," Musk responded.
Musk said it wasn't explained to him that puberty blockers are "actually just sterilization drugs," and called the term "gender affirming care" a "terrible euphemism."
"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 an extended pause, Musk added, "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that."
Xavier, now 20 years old, 'legally changed' his name and gender in 2022, and has since distanced himself from Musk, stating in court documents that he “no longer wishes to be related” to his biological father “in any way, shape or form.”
Musk has been a vocal critic of the far-left's pro-transgender propaganda, and had vowed to “destroy the woke mind virus” the influence of which he blames for his estrangement from Xavier.
Transgender treatments and the far-left's pro-LGBTQ propaganda face fierce criticisms and opposition from conservatives in the United Kingdom, America and the west in general. They argue that underage children especially, must not be exposed to such destructive life-altering concepts and practices.
Puberty blockers have been shown to cause long-term fertility problems in boys, a preprint study from Mayo Clinic concluded earlier this year. The study found that puberty blockers’ impacts may be permanent, disputing claims that such effects can be reversed.
