‘Killed by the Woke Mind Virus’: Elon Musk Opens Up About Eldest Son Coming Out as Trans
Billionaire Elon Musk opened up Monday about his biological son coming out as transgender, telling prominent Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson that his son was “killed by the woke mind virus.”
During the discussion hosted by Peterson, the psychologist brought up Musk’s recent move to pull his company’s headquarters, SpaceX, from California after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the new Assembly Bill 1955, which allows schools to refrain from notifying parents of their child’s sexuality or gender identity. Musk explained his decision on the move, leading to Peterson questioning him on why he was willing to make “gender affirming care” an “issue.”
“It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was before I really had any understanding of what was going on. We had COVID going on,” Musk said. “I was told Xavier might commit suicide.”

“That was a lie right from the outset,” Peterson responded. “No reliable clinician ever believed that. There was never any evidence for that, and also if there’s a higher suicide rate, the reason is because the underlying depression and anxiety, not because of the gender dysphoria. And every g******n clinician knows that.” . . .
“So I was tricked into doing this. It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs,” Musk continued. “So I lost my son essentially. They call it dead naming for a reason. The reason it’s called dead naming is because your son is dead. So my son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.” (Read more from “‘Killed by the Woke Mind Virus’: Elon Musk Opens Up About Eldest Son Coming Out as Trans” HERE)
