Elon Musk Causes Uproar With 'My Son Xavier Is Dead' Remark

Elon Musk is fighting against the "woke mind virus" that killed his son…figuratively!

The business mogul recently sparked mixed reactions online while addressing the journey of his transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, formerly known as Xavier.

Elon Musk got emotional while recalling his daughter's transition, a change he claims he was deceived into authorizing.

The Tesla CEO had a heart-to-heart conversation with Dr. Jordan Peterson about doctors performing sex change procedures on children. Part of their discussion was shared on X, capturing Musk's reflection on Vivian's gender transition.

"I agree with you that people that have been promoting this should go to prison. I was tricked into doing this. It wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs," the billionaire claimed, adding:

"And so I lost my son, essentially. So, you know, they, they call it deadnaming for a reason. Alright. So the the reason it's called deadnaming is because your son is dead. So my son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."

When Peterson offered his condolences, noting that others were in similar situations with "demolished kids," Musk declared he would end the cycle after what happened to Xavier.

The video ended with Musk's bold declaration, "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we're making some progress." But before that, he shared how Xavier became Vivian without his knowledge.

"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," Musk recalled.

He noted it happened amid the COVID-19 period, saying: "So there was a lot of confusion. And, you know, I was told you know Xavier might commit suicide."

Musk described the ordeal as "incredibly evil" when Peterson noted it was a "lie" that Xavier would have killed himself if he had not transitioned into Vivian. However, X users had varying opinions about his story.

Musk's words divided X users, with some believing the "woke mind virus" was to blame for him losing his son figuratively. One individual sympathized with the billionaire's pain, lamenting:

"You can almost feel his pain. This is so sad.  These kids need to mature to make this decision on their own without all the Trans influencers and medical field intervening."

"This is personal for Elon, and it's heartbreaking that this happened to his child," another supporter echoed, while a third added, "Elon is on a mission and I stand with him… The woke mind is a virus."

Meanwhile, critics believed Musk's words reflected his alleged status as a bad father. One comment read: "Reminder that despite Elon Musk's delusions, his child is quite literally not dead, is very much alive and simply wants nothing to do with him anymore."

While Musk has a complicated relationship with his transgender daughter, his former lover, Grimes, is worried about his wealth impacting their children. The Blast reported she aired her concerns in a 2023 interview.

When asked if she was worried about the impact of Musk's wealth on their children, Grimes confessed, “A little bit. I think their life is gonna be pretty intense. Being Elon’s kid is not the same as being anyone’s kid.”

Although she cannot erase the power of being the business magnate's offspring, the “Genesis” singer noted she kept her children grounded with her down-to-earth parenting whenever they were in her house.

Grimes's worries about her children growing up privileged weren't misplaced with Musk's unprecedented parenting. Despite their son being three years old in 2023, he had introduced the boy to the business world.

The toddler, uniquely named X AE A-XII Musk, was spotted joining his famous dad in business meetings and other activities. When asked if this was a "weird kind of protégé thing," Grimes confessed:

"I’m here for that. X knows a lot about rockets. It’s crazy. He knows more about rockets than me."

While Elon Musk seems to have an amicable bond with his other children, it is unclear if this dynamic will change as they are growing up in the woke culture he is fighting against.
