CV NEWS FEED // Billionaire businessman Elon Musk emotionally described how he regrets giving his then-teenage son puberty blockers, adding that the boy was metaphorically “kiIIed by the woke mind virus.”
Musk recently sat down with psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson for an interview that aired on DailyWire+ on Monday.
“It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs,” Musk told Peterson.
“And so, I lost my son essentially,” Musk added after a pause. “They call it deadnaming for a reason. The reason it’s called deadnaming is because your son is dead.”
The businessman’s son, now legally known as Vivan Wilson (born Xavier Musk), is now 20 years old and identifies as a woman. He is estranged from his father. Wilson is the surname of the young man’s mother, Musk’s ex-wife.
“Deadnaming” is a term used by LGBTQ activists to describe the practice of referring to people who consider themselves “transgender” by their birth names. For example, if a man born John declares himself to be a “transgender woman” named “Jane,” continuing to call him “John” would be an example of what the LGBTQ movement calls “deadnaming.”
“My son Xavier is dead,” Musk summarized. “Killed by the woke mind virus.”
Peterson sympathized with the X (formerly Twitter) owner. “I’m sorry to hear that,” said the renowned psychologist and author. “I can’t imagine what that would be like.”
Musk nodded in agreement.
Peterson continued: “There’s lots of people in that situation now. It’s not pretty. And lots of demolished kids.”
Musk noted that he “vowed to destroy the woke mind virus” following the deeply personal experience of his son’s tragedy. “We’re making some progress.”
