Elon Musk has opened up about a difficult chapter in his personal life, revealing that he was misled into consenting for his son to begin puberty blockers, which he described as having a devastating impact.

In an interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk shared, "It happened to one of my older boys, Xavier. During the confusion of COVID-19, I was tricked into signing documents for puberty blockers. I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he didn’t receive the treatment."

Peterson responded, calling it "a lie right from the outset." Musk agreed, adding, "It's incredibly evil. The people promoting this should go to prison."

Musk elaborated, "I wasn’t informed that puberty blockers are essentially sterilization drugs. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus. They call it deadnaming for a reason—because your son is dead."

Musk expressed his determination to combat what he termed the "woke mind virus," declaring, "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that."

The conversation touched on broader issues regarding medical interventions for transgender youth, which both Musk and Peterson condemned as "evil."

According to a Daily Mail report, Musk's son, Xavier, changed his name to Vivian Musk upon coming out as transgender in June 2022. At the time, Vivian stated, "I no longer want to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."
