Elon Musk recently shared during an interview that he experienced a deeply personal and painful situation involving one of his sons.
He stated that his son was “figuratively dead” after he was misled into consenting for his child to take puberty blockers.
He expressed strong feelings about the situation and revealed his determination to “destroy the virus,” though the specifics of what he referred to as the “virus” were not detailed in the conversation.
This revelation adds to the ongoing public discussions surrounding Musk’s family life, particularly his complex relationship with one of his children, who reportedly distanced themselves from him after transitioning.
It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,” Musk told Jordan Peterson.
“This is before I had any understanding of what was going on. Covid-19 was going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn’t,” the billionaire said.
“That was a lie right from the outset,” Peterson responded.
“Incredibly evil, and I agree with you that the people that have been promoting this should go to prison,” Musk said.
Elon Musk, in the interview, expressed his deep regret and frustration, stating that when he gave his consent for his son to undergo treatment with puberty blockers, it wasn’t clearly explained to him that these drugs are “actually just sterilisation drugs.”
His comments reflect his belief that he was misled about the nature and consequences of the treatment, which he now views as having had a profound and negative impact on his child.
“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.”
Elon Musk made these revelations after being asked about his views on doctors performing sex change procedures on children, a practice that both Musk and Jordan Peterson described as “evil” during the discussion.
The topic appears to be particularly personal for Musk, as his own child, Xavier, who came out as transgender in June 2022, legally changed their name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, distancing themselves from Musk by adopting their mother’s maiden name.
His comments reflect his deep concerns about the decisions made during his child’s transition and his broader views on the medical interventions involved in such processes.
“I no longer want to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” Vivian said at the time, according to the report.
