Tesla CEO & billionaire Elon Musk broke the internet once again after he opened up about his transgender son Xavier in an interview and stated that his son 'died' due to 'woke mind virus'. Elon Musk in an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson on Monday revealed that he was "tricked" into agreeing to gender-affirming care procedures for his son, calling them "child mutilation and sterilisation".For the unversed, Elon Musk's son Xavier came out as transgender in June 2022 at the age of 18. Xavier also filed a request to change her name from Xavier to Vivian and take her mother's last name, saying that she no longer wanted to be "related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.". Wilson's mother is Justine Wilson, a Canadian author who divorced Elon Musk in 2008. Now, the question arises what happened to Elon Musk's son Xavier and what is woke mind virus?
What happened to Elon Musk's son Xavier?
Notably, Musk 'figuratively' said that "woke mind virus killed" his son Xavier. Elon Musk stated that his experience with his child Xavier, who now goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson, opened his eyes to the "woke mind virus", which he and Peterson both agreed as "evil". Elon Musk was quoted saying, "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 pointed out that the process is done to children "who are far below the age of consent" and agreed with Peterson that anyone who promotes the practice should go to prison. "I was tricked into doing this. I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead."
What is a Woke Mind Virus?
For those who are unaware, woke mind virus is not related to medical science. Woke Mind Virus' meaning remains ambiguous. It is generally meant to be what critics perceive as "overly progressive" or "woke" practices that negatively influence society and media. The billionaire previously criticised the "woke mind virus" in 2021, calling it "arguably one of the greatest threats to modern civilisation".
