Elon Musk said that his child Xavier, a biological male who identifies as transgender, was “killed by the woke mind virus.”
Ah, the “woke mind virus,” the epidemic sweeping through the nation’s institutions and turning perfectly rational people into hyper-sensitive, perpetually offended, gender-confused social justice warriors.
These folks are obsessed with identity politics, breaking everyone down into tiny little boxes based on race, gender, and whatever other category they can dream up.
Here’s some of what Fox News reported on Musk’s comments about his progeny:
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said he was “tricked” into giving consent for his child to go on puberty blockers, adding that he believes “the woke mind virus” figuratively killed his son.
Musk made the comment in an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson on Monday after he was asked about his thoughts on doctors performing sex change procedures on children, a practice both Musk and Peterson described as “evil.” Musk said that his experience with his child Xavier, who now goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson, opened his eyes to what he called “the woke mind virus,” which he has since vowed to “destroy.”
“It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This is before I had any understanding of what was going on. COVID was going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn’t…” Musk told Peterson.
“That was a lie right from the outset,” Peterson interjected.
“Incredibly evil, and I agree with you that the people that have been promoting this should go to prison,” Musk responded.
