Elon Musk Calls Son Who Changed Gender 'Dead'
Elon Musk has said that he "lost a son" to the ideology of Wokism and puberty blockers. The billionaire told psychologist Jordan Peterson about this in an interview for the Daily Wire.
"I lost a son. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the wokism virus," Musk said of his child. In 2020, Musk's son, then 18, transitioned to gender identity and became Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Elon later added on social media that his son was born gay* and "a little autistic." "These are two characteristics that contribute to gender dysphoria. I learned about it when he was about 4 years old: he would pick out clothes for me, like a jacket, and tell me he was "amazing!" He also loved musicals and theater. But he was not a girl."
Before his gender reassignment*, Elon Musk's son took puberty blockers. The 53-year-old billionaire claims that he was literally "forced" to sign permission to take these drugs, threatening that otherwise his child could commit suicide. Elon admitted that he was confused and did not understand what was required of him. The situation was aggravated by the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. In an interview, Musk calls these drugs "sterilization agents" and the ideology of wokism itself - evil, for the promotion of which people should go to prison. He emphasized that after the story with his son, he "swore to destroy the virus of wokism."
Wokism (from the English word "woke") is a political term denoting increased attention to issues related to social, racial and gender justice. It is used by minorities* to mean "awareness of oneself as an individual who has rights."
It was recently announced that Elon Musk will move from California to Texas and move the headquarters of SpaceX and X (former Twitter) there because of California's new law on protecting the rights of LGBT* students, according to which a child's relatives will not be able to find out at school without his or her consent if their child has come out or asked to be called by a different pronoun.
The law did not please Elon Musk, who said it was "the last straw": "About a year ago, I made it clear to Governor Newsom that laws like this would force families and businesses to leave California to protect their children."
Elon Musk has 12 children, including his firstborn with his first wife, who died at 10 weeks of sudden infant death syndrome. Musk had five more children with his first wife, Justine Wilson. The couple split in 2008. His marriage to singer Grimes produced three more children: two sons and a daughter. The businessman's colleague, Siobhan Zilis, gave birth to three more children with the billionaire.
The Wall Street Journal recently published a major article about Elon Musk, which said that the billionaire had sexual relationships with subordinates, promoted mistresses, and harassed female employees of his company SpaceX. One of the women mentioned in the article said that Musk repeatedly asked her to have his children, and when she refused, her working relationship with her boss deteriorated.
