SUMMARY
In a recent interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk shared that his child, Xavier, now known as Vivian Jenna Wilson, was "killed by the woke mind virus" after being put on puberty blockers. Musk stated he was "tricked" into consenting to the treatment, not knowing the blockers were "actually just sterilization drugs." He criticized the term "gender affirming care" and described the experience as losing his son: "The reason it's called deadnaming is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead." Musk vowed to "destroy the woke mind virus" following this experience. Additionally, Musk announced the relocation of SpaceX's headquarters from California to Texas, citing recent laws in California regarding gender identity in schools as "the final straw."
