Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Space X, claimed that he was tricked into approving his child's use of puberty blockers.


Elon Musk, a prominent American entrepreneur and business magnate, has publicly discussed the passing of his son, Xavier, following the latter’s gender transition.

The CEO of Tesla and Space X, Elon Musk, has stated that he was misled into allowing his child to receive puberty blockers.

Musk revealed this information during a live interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson on Platform X on Monday.

In the course of their discussion, Peterson brought up the subject of Elon Musk’s decision to move SpaceX’s headquarters out of California. Musk cited Assembly Bill 1955, a new state law that allows schools to withhold information about a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity from their parents, as a key factor in his decision.

The action was taken following the signing of the bill into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday, July 15, 2024.

Upon inquiry regarding the impetus behind his public stance on the matter, Peterson engaged in a candid exchange with the proprietor of X, sharing a deeply personal anecdote involving his child, Xavier. Xavier now identifies as transgender and has adopted the name Vivian Jenna Wilson.

Musk stated, “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 disclosed, “Well, it happened to one of my older boys. I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told Xavier might commit suicide.”

Peterson, respectfully challenging the notion, stated, “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. And every god-d*** clinician knows that, too, and they’re too cowardly to come out and say it.”

Continuing, Musk said, “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.”

“So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we’re making some progress.”

A preprint study from the Mayo Clinic published earlier this year suggests that puberty blockers may cause permanent infertility in males, contradicting prior assertions of their reversibility, as reported by Fox News.

Puberty blockers, particularly GnRH analogues, are employed to temporarily halt the progression of puberty in transgender and gender-diverse adolescents, according to the Mayo Clinic’s website. These medications effectively halt physical changes associated with puberty by suppressing the production of sex hormones.

Vivian Musk, previously known as Xavier, publicly disclosed her transgender identity in June 2022, at the age of 18, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Simultaneously, she formally requested a legal name change to Vivian, adopting her mother’s family name.

“I no longer want to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” Vivian said.

Last week, Musk made an announcement regarding the relocation of SpaceX and X headquarters to Texas. This decision was prompted by a recently enacted California law that restricts schools from mandating teachers to inform parents about alterations 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.

During the interview on Monday, Musk revealed that he had previously informed the governor that he would relocate his company if the bill was enacted into law, indicating that his decision to move the headquarters was not an impulsive response.

Elon Musk is a staunch supporter of the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, Donald Trump, who is known for his stance against the LGBQ community.

Presidential candidate Trump pledged to prohibit transgender men from participating in women’s sports if elected in November.

Additionally, he disclosed that Musk contributes $45 million per month to his campaign fund.
