Tesla CEO Elon Musk has blamed the "woke virus" for the gender confusion that befell his son Xavier. The X owner denounced this "woke virus" in the form of "gender-affirming care" – medical sterilization – during a recent conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson. According to Musk, he was pressured into approving puberty blockers for his son after being threatened with the possibility of Xavier taking his own life. This eventually led to Xavier's distress and eventual estrangement with him. The South African-born technocrat was reportedly "misled" about the effects of these treatments. He subsequently described Xavier's "transition" and use of the new name Vivian Jenna Wilson as a result of being infected with this "woke mind virus." This experience has only intensified Musk's resolve to challenge the harmful gender ideology.

"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. [The Wuhan coronavirus] COVID-19 was going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn't [receive puberty blockers]," Musk recounted to Peterson on July 22. Peterson replied that the suicide threat "was a lie from the beginning," something Musk agreed with. "Incredibly evil, and I agree with you that people that have been promoting this should go to prison," the X owner continued. "It wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs." "I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason it's called deadnaming is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."

In 2022, Xavier petitioned a California court to change his name and gender, arguing that he no longer wishes to be related to Musk "in any way, shape or form" – which was granted. He later took to social media following his father's comments. Xavier pointed out on July 25 that he is "legally recognized as a woman in the state of California," and "does not concern [himself] with the opinions of those who are below me." He also urged Elon to "touch some grass." Great Game India mentioned: "The suicide threat is often raised by professionals who suggest gender-neutral therapy. In an attempt to get parents to comply, they frequently pose a troubling question, usually framed as: 'Would you rather have a dead son or a living daughter?' But criticism of the presumed connection between gender dysphoria and suicide has surfaced, and not just from the general public." The outlet referenced a Finnish study published in January, which concluded that "gender dysphoria per se does not seem to predict either all-cause [or] suicide mortality in gender-referred adolescents." It continued that the "main predictor of mortality in this population is psychiatric morbidity. Medical gender reassignment does not have an impact on suicide risk." Last year, Musk said his separation from Xavier was perhaps more heartbreaking than when his first son passed away at a young age. Xavier is the eldest of five children – a pair of twins and a set of triplets – the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has with Canadian author Justine Wilson. Musk's experience strengthened his determination to get rid of the leftist ideology. "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that," he told Peterson. In line with this, Musk has promised to donate $45 million to a super-political action committee that supports former President Donald Trump and concentrates on "get out the vote" campaigns – putting his money where his mouth is.
