"He doesn’t love any of his kids if he feels that way" — Internet reacts to Elon Musk saying his trans daughter is "dead" after she started puberty blockers

In an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson on July 23, Elon Musk shared his views on doctors performing s*x-changing procedures on children. He cited the case of his own child, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who underwent gender affirming procedures at the age of 18.

In the interview, Musk spoke about Vivian using her dead name and said,

"It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was 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."

The entire conversation of the billionaire and the conservative commentator caught public attention. This led netizens to flood the social media platforms with their opinions on Elon Musk's statements. Here are some of the tweets made by people on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One user wrote on X,

"Its so heartbreaking how much of an awful father he is."

"Calling your child "dead" for being transgender is so wrong," read another tweet.

While the billionaire received bashing from a group of netizens, many came in favor of him and sided with his opinions on the "woke mind virus." Extending support to him, a user wrote,

"Elon is on mission and I stand with him… The woke mind is a virus."

"You must influence your kids before others brainwash them," shared another X user.

"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," read a tweet.

All about Elon Musk's recent interview and his daughter Vivian

The July 22 interview made it evident that billionaire Elon Musk was seemingly "in a battle against the "woke mind virus." He claimed that he was tricked into agreeing to consumption of puberty blockers by his daughter Vivian. Musk added that it was the "woke mind virus" that "killed his son."

In the interview with Dr. Peterson, Elon Musk claimed that, according to him, the involvement of doctors in such procedures is "evil." According to the 53-year-old businessman, he was told that Vivian could commit suicide if they didn't allow her to use puberty blockers.

He further explained that the doctors never told him clearly what the puberty blockers were and how they would impact his child. The billionaire continued by stating:

"The reason it’s called deadnaming is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."

In June 2022, the businessman's child legally changed her name (to Vivian Jenna Wilson) and gender in a courtroom in Santa Monica. In a petition that she filed in April 2022, Vivian Jenna Wilson wrote,

"I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

In the latest conversation, Dr. Peterson compared the psychiatrists aiding minors into such a transition to Nazis and described them as "contemptible cowards." Elon Musk agreed with the views of the commentator and revealed that California Governor Gavin Newsom's stance on this matter made him move his company headquarters out of the US state.

Musk claimed that the process was evil since the doctors were seemingly "manipulating" young children who were possibly going through some "identity crisis." Since the interview happened, social media platforms have experienced heated debates where each side expressed their opinions on it.
