Elon Musk makes bombshell claim about his transgender child

Musk's position which he has held for a while is made made clear in this Jordan Peterson interview:

Elon Musk makes bombshell claim about his transgender son Xavier and how he was 'tricked': 'It's evil'

Elon Musk spoke out about how he believes he was 'tricked' by the woke mind virus into allowing his child to become a transgender woman.

I think this is the counterpart to the TRA parents who are locked into supporting gender stuff. The parents who have seen through it and are committed to fighting back. Either you go the gender crit route or you back the right.

Musk is now funding Trump's election campaign to 45 million a month.

Interestingly Musk weirdly told JKR off for being too obsessed with women's rights recently.

The interesting thing will be that even though Musk is clearly against gender stuff he like other men with that position he will not really be targeted to the same extent a woman will be. Hardly any TRA will leave X or refuse to admire Musk's various projects. They won't abandon Marvel which put Musk in a movie Iron Man 2 in the same way they want to cancel Harry Potter. Because men get to do what they want.

This is another reason the gender project is increasingly unravelling. They want to stop women saying things, but at the same time they are not as concerned when powerful male dominated groups like Catholicism, Islam or powerful male individuals like Musk or Eminem say similar things.

I'm amused by how so many of the liberals who now hate musk and call him right wing, James bond villain etc etc, drive teslas. They claim to disagree with everything he does but yet they don't want to give up their "look I'm progressive, I care about the environment and I'm also rich!" status/virtue symbol. Says it all.

The most consistent thing about Musk is his inconsistency.
An erratic man child acting like an Olympian god.
And he'll get worse.
No one should have that much money, its dangerous. Who will ever deny him?

The “woke mind virus” is an interesting concept for Musk. Here is a man who is experimenting on monkeys by implanting chips into their brains - in preparation for being able to offer humans the chance to do that too (once he can get the monkeys to stop dying…)

SidekickSylvia · 23/07/2024 07:41

That was obviously painful for him to talk about. Of all the things that humans have medically experimented with, from lobotomies to electric shock, I think sterilising and mutilating hormonal, troubled teenagers will be looked back on as the worst. So many lives have been ruined.

Why is that amusing? They are electric cars, also driven by many non-liberals who want electric cars.

Funny to see tribalism projected at "the libs" on a board that's quick to accuse anyone who questions teaming with even dodgy rightwingers as being overly simplistic.

kiterunning · 23/07/2024 08:13

One of the tragedies of this whole shit show is the parental guilt of parents who in many cases have been pressurised to facilitate the medicalisation/ sterilisation/ mutilation of their children.

Meowzabubz · 23/07/2024 08:16

Musk just says whatever he thinks is going to garner him the most praise and attention at any given moment. He's like a nerdy little boy trying desperatly to fit in with the cool kids.

It doesn’t say anything really. It’s possible to dislike Musk’s politics and at the same time want to drive an electric car. Driving an electric car is just that; it doesn’t have to mean “ooh, look at me, aren’t I good?”

SidekickSylvia · 23/07/2024 08:28

I have so much sympathy for parents having to face this. You support it against your better judgement, knowing that it's highly likely your child is ruining their life, or you don't support them, which pushes them towards the group of people our generation were warned about. It's a shit situation for any parent, however much money you've got.

What a strange take. Regardless of what one might think of Musk, I can imagine he may have some genuine feelings about being tricked into consenting to puberty blockers for his child and now being estranged from him that go beyond “trying to fit in with the cool kids”.

PronounssheRa · 23/07/2024 08:36

If you ignore the woke mind virus comment and think about what he said , its a tragic story. Musk is claiming that he was tricked into signing consent for puberty blockers under the threat of suicide. In hindsight his child has 2 common factors autism and same sex attraction which left them vulnerable to ideas around gender etc.

All his children are estranged from him by his own design. He's the white Nick Cannon. An out and proud eugenicist who is just trying to spread his 'superior' seed as far as he can. If you believe he is in any way actively involved or invested in the lives of the 2-3 kids he's been popping out each year I have a beach side property in the alps to sell you. I'd be inpressed if he could even name all his children and who their mother's are.

RedToothBrush · 23/07/2024 08:42

If you had a child who was lobomotised with your support because you feared what else would happen to them if you didn't because you had been scared into thinking they would die, and then you woke up to reality I'm not sure being logical and rational would be your response. Most humans would respond in a human way. It strikes me he blames Democrats for supporting and enabling it and is responding in the manner of a backlash.

I don't think it's because he's evil Elon and those counter stereotypes only serve to strengthen his respond and will make him double down.

This is about a sense of betrayal and I think it's entirely understandable.

It's about literally pissing off the wrong person.

Musk has previously funded the Democrats and is fascinating to see how he wasn't demonised as much in the past.

This didn't have to happen. Where were the adults in the room to stand up to unethical practices and snake oil over gender distress? In not being there, you give space to others to exploit politically and allow conspiracy theorists to thrive and exploit angry and distressed people.

The checks and balances failed on that, but we are distracted from these failures of ethics and attention is drawn to Musks money and how he is unchecked. That's not cool. Both can be true.

Moontoboon · 23/07/2024 08:43

What did Eminem say?

GrumpyPanda · 23/07/2024 08:46

Musk is now funding Trump's election campaign to 45 million a month.

He's a union-buster and reportedly is pissed off that he wasn't invited to White House electric vehicle summits and Tesla didn't get access to the infrastructure funding on the same terms as less anti-social producers. Boo-hoo.

Ineverlose · 23/07/2024 08:51

I’m like Elon, a parent who has been hurt by this. It’s devastating. It levels us all.
also, what did Eminem say?

Toseland · 23/07/2024 08:53

I agree with him about the mind virus, however anyone over 20 will know that there were no 'trans kids' when they were growing up, no suicides at school due to 'gender' and that it's all made up nonsense. I can't forgive adults going along with this.

AlisonDonut · 23/07/2024 08:54

Do you have to be a good parent then, to be worthy of not being lied to by medical professionals who want to transition your child?

Chloe Cole has posted a response to Elon.

People have been captured, tricked, fooled, and befuddled.

The people who have set out to do this are not sane rational humans.
The belief that humans can change sex is pure nonsense.

Those that come through this and realise they are responsible for torturing and mutilation will not sleep well. Their hands will ne're be clean.
Some will never reflect properly on the truth of what they've done.

Until it's all gone young humans will continue to be medicalised and tortured for a lie.

ThreeWordHarpy · 23/07/2024 09:06

It’s possible to feel empathy for the child, and sympathy for Elon as a parent in this situation. But also at the same time to be wary of Elon as he appears to be a very contradictory, unpredictable character who is also extremely rich.

It’s interesting because I’m similarly wary of Bezos, because although he doesn’t tend towards unpredictability and self publicity in the same way, he is also extremely rich and spunking his money on vanity space projects.

Fukuraptor · 23/07/2024 09:08

I wasn't familiar with the term mind virus (which sounds a bit out there) but came across it yesterday on the Diary of a CEO podcast with regard to aging.

His guest was making the argument that if we stay active into our 70s then it is only at that point that we really begin to physically slow down. Stephen described our expectation that we are going to experience aging effects before that it as a mind virus, i.e. people assume they will decline, so they are less active, so they cause they lose strength, flexibility, mobility etc. I thought it was an interesting idea.

I don’t think driving a Tesla is that deep.

Fukuraptor · 23/07/2024 09:14

Chloe once again showing how beautifully empathetic and thoughtful she is. Thanks for sharing her response Alison.

SidekickSylvia · 23/07/2024 09:19

I don't think it matters what you think of Elon, either as a person or a parent. What's relevant is what he has experienced with his son, and how it happened, and why it was even possible. He is possibly the most famous person that has experienced a child being deliberately sterilised at a young age due to gender ideology. Millions of people have watched his video, and seen his genuine regret and sadness that this happened to his family. Whatever else you think of him, I think his intention in doing this is to support and warn other parents of the brutal reality of gender ideology's horrific experimental end game.

sheroku · 23/07/2024 09:27

I feel extremely sorry for this troubled young person who will now have millions of people googling their name. In the interview Musk seemed more concerned about the impact on himself "I have a dead son" than what's going on with his own child. When asked about his estrangement from said child a couple of years ago he said "Can't win 'em all".

The guy is a narcissist and everything he says and does is cloaked in self interest. He makes my skin crawl.

Hopefully this interview at least helps to spread awareness of the fact that puberty blockers are not harmless and suicide stats are grossly misrepresented.
