- Plans to Relocate SpaceX Hqtr
By Afolabi Samuel Odunayo
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has revealed in a live interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson that he was “tricked” into granting permission for his child to undergo puberty blockers.
This disclosure came amidst discussions on the controversial Assembly Bill 1955, signed into law by California Governor Gavin Newsom on July 15, 2024, which allows schools to keep a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity confidential from their parents.
During the interview, Musk shared a personal experience involving his child, Xavier, who now identifies himself as transgender and goes by the name Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Musk explained, “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 condemned the practice, saying, “It’s incredibly 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.”
He added:”I was tricked into doing this. 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 they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”
Peterson added, “There was never any evidence for that, and also, if there is a higher suicide rate, the reason is the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria. And every god-d*** clinician knows that, too, and they’re too cowardly to come out and say it.”
Musk’s remarks followed a preprint study published by the Mayo Clinic in the United States earlier this year, which linked puberty blockers to irreversible long-term fertility issues in boys, contradicting previous claims that the effects are reversible.
Vivian Musk, formerly known as Xavier, publicly announced her transgender identity in June 2022 at the age of 18 and petitioned to legally change her name and adopt her mother’s surname, stating, “I no longer want to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
In reaction to the new California law and citing other legislative measures he views as detrimental to families and companies, Musk announced plans to relocate the headquarters of SpaceX and X from California to Texas.
Musk had previously warned Governor Newsom of this potential move if the bill was signed into law.
Last week, he reiterated his position: “This is the final straw. Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”
