In a recent interview, Elon Musk shared a deeply personal and tragic story involving his son Xavier. Musk revealed that he was "tricked" into consenting to puberty blockers for Xavier, which he now believes was a catastrophic mistake influenced by what he calls the "woke mind virus."
Musk explained that during the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was convinced that Xavier's life was at risk unless he received the treatment. Reflecting on the experience, Musk described the situation as deceitful and incredibly harmful. He expressed regret, stating that he was unaware puberty blockers were essentially sterilization drugs when he consented.
Musk emotionally recounted that he has "lost his son" and referred to the practice of using a new name for his child as "deadnaming," indicating the loss he feels. Xavier, now known as Vivian Musk, came out as transgender in June 2022 and changed his name, stating a desire to sever all ties with Musk.
Musk's comments have sparked controversy and highlighted his strong opposition to sex change procedures for minors, which he and interviewer Jordan Peterson condemned as "evil." Musk vowed to combat what he perceives as the harmful influence of the "woke mind virus."
This revelation has intensified debates surrounding transgender issues and the ethics of medical treatments for minors, underscoring the personal and societal impacts of such decisions.
