Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, made a shocking revelation in a live interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson on X, stating that he was “tricked” into granting permission for his child to undergo puberty blockers.
“It’s evil. You’re taking kids who are far below the age of consent. It’s very possible for adults to manipulate children who are having an actual identity crisis into believing that they are the wrong gender,” Musk said.
Musk shared a personal experience involving his child, Xavier, who now identifies as transgender and goes by the name Vivian Jenna Wilson. “I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier… I was told Xavier might commit suicide,” Musk disclosed.
Peterson challenged the notion, saying, “That was a lie right from the outset. No reliable clinician ever believed that. There was never any evidence for that, and also, if there is a higher suicide rate, the reason is the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria.”
Musk continued, “It’s incredibly evil. And I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison… I was tricked into doing this. It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs… I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”
Musk also announced plans to relocate the headquarters of SpaceX and X to Texas, after a new California law that prohibits schools from forcing teachers to inform parents about changes to a student’s gender identity. “This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas,” Musk wrote on X.
