Elon Musk, the CEO of microblogging platform X, has disclosed during an interview with Jordan Peterson how he was ‘tricked’ by the ‘woke mind virus’ into accepting that his 22year old son become a transgender woman.
In the interview, Musk regretted being tricked to support the decision, calling what happened ‘evil’.
“I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,’ he said
“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,’ Musk added.

He also said he feels like he has “lost my son” while vowing to destroy what he refers to as the “woke mind virus”.
“It is evil. You are taking kids who are far below the age of consent. It is very possible for adults to manipulate children who are having an actual identity crisis into believing that they are the wrong gender,” he said.
“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.”
The South African billionaire has fathered a reported 12 children over last 22 years and has spoken publicly about his view that the world is underpopulated.
He had his kids with three different women, Canadian author Justine Wilson, musician Grimes and his employee, Shivon Zilis. His youngest child, with Zilis, was born in 2024.
