American billionaire Elon Musk revealed that he was deceived when asked for his consent to allow his son to take "puberty blockers" to transition from male to female. Musk stated in an interview with Jordan Peterson for "Daily Wire," "I was misled into signing papers for one of my older kids, Xavier. This happened before I knew what was going on. There was COVID and a lot of confusion at that time."
Musk expressed deep sorrow over his son Xavier's gender transition, accusing leftist ideologues of having killed his son after deceiving him into changing his gender and then changing his name to "Vivian," viewing this transition as a loss for him forever. He said that despite his son being alive under a female name, he felt his son had died.
Musk explained his perspective on the situation, saying he was fooled by what he referred to as the "Mindfulness virus" into allowing his child to become a transgender woman. He considered the initial fears regarding suicide to be "a lie from the beginning," stating there was no evidence for such claims, suggesting that depression and anxiety caused high suicide rates among transgender individuals rather than gender dysphoria.
According to Musk, doctors prescribed his son blockers (medications that delay physical changes resulting from puberty), citing suicide risk. He added, "No one explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs." The businessman claimed he lost his son because of these medications, stating, "My son Xavier died because of the woke thinking virus."
Musk continued, "It is incredibly evil, and I agree with you that the people who promote this should go to jail." He described woke ideas as a virus that penetrates the human mind and ultimately destroys it, saying, "The doctors who encourage children to change their gender are tyrants spreading their viruses and are too cowardly to speak the scientific truth for fear of being ostracized." He added, "Doctors did not explain to us that the hormones my son would receive would render him infertile forever, then they turned him into a deformed and infertile female... I have dedicated myself to destroying them and the virus of leftist ideas, and we are making some progress now."
