Elon Musk, the Chief Executive Officer of Tesla and SpaceX, revealed on Monday that he was “tricked” into giving permission for his child to undergo puberty blockers. Musk made this disclosure during a live interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson on X.
“It’s evil. You’re taking kids who are far below the age of consent. It’s very possible for adults to manipulate children who are having an actual identity crisis into believing that they are the wrong gender,” Musk stated.
He elaborated further, “Well, it happened to one of my older boys. I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told Xavier might commit suicide.”
Musk explained his decision to relocate SpaceX’s headquarters from California, citing the state’s new legislation, Assembly Bill 1955, which allows schools to keep a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity confidential from their parents. This move came after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law on Monday, July 15, 2024.
Who is Vivian Jenna Wilson?
Vivian Jenna Wilson, born Xavier Musk, is the transgender daughter of Elon Musk. Vivian was born a twin with her brother Griffin in 2004 in California.
Here are some key details about Vivian:
- She attended Crossroads K-12 school in Santa Monica, alongside her younger siblings, Kai, Saxon, and Damian, where annual tuition costs up to $50,000.
- Vivian reportedly tried to hide her true gender identity from her dad for several years.
- She officially adopted her mother Justine’s maiden name at the age of 18 in 2022, according to court filings.
- She filed a petition to change both her name and legal gender, stating she “no longer wishes to be related” to her father “in any way.”
- A Santa Monica judge issued a new birth certificate reflecting her changed name and gender.
- Vivian and her father reportedly have a strained relationship, with Musk disagreeing with her political views, claiming she believes that all rich people are evil.
- Musk has attributed Vivian’s political views to her education at a progressive California school, stating she “went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil.”
This revelation and the subsequent media coverage bring to light the complex and often contentious issues surrounding gender identity, parental consent, and the influence of educational institutions on young people’s beliefs and values.
