Elon Musk blames ‘woke mind virus’ for tricking him into transitioning his son

Billionaire and X owner Elon Musk has “vowed to destroy the woke mind virus” after he was “essentially tricked” into gender transitioning one of his children.

Musk detailed how he was not informed that puberty blockers are “actually just sterilization drugs” when he helped his son, Xavier, change genders. In 2022, Xavier Musk filed court documents in California stating, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” and asked to be renamed Vivian Jenna Wilson, with the last name belonging to Elon Musk’s first wife, Justine Wilson.
