As we prepare to enter the new year, we’re taking you back to some of The Daily Wire’s best reporting from 2024. This article was originally published on July 22.
Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Tesla and SpaceX, told Dr. Jordan B. Peterson that he was “tricked into” allowing one of his sons to undergo gender procedures, saying his child was “killed” by the “woke mind virus.”
Musk sat down with Peterson for an interview that covered a range of topics and was streamed live on DailyWire+ and X. During one segment, Peterson and Musk discussed children being targeted by doctors with gender procedures, with both men agreeing that the practice is “evil.” Musk called “gender-affirming care,” the Left’s description of the procedures, “a terrible euphemism.”
“It’s really child mutilation and sterilization,” Musk said. “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,” he added.
“Why are you willing to make this an issue?” Peterson asked Musk, which led to the billionaire entrepreneur opening up about his son, Xavier, who struggled with gender dysphoria and now identifies as a girl.
“Well, it happened to one of my older boys,” the Tesla and SpaceX owner replied. “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.”
“That was a lie right from the outset,” Peterson said. “No reliable clinician ever believed that. 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.”
“It’s incredibly evil,” Musk said. “And I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison.”
“I was tricked into doing this. It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs,” he added. “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.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine what that would be like,” Peterson told the billionaire entrepreneur.
“So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that,” said Musk. “And we’re making some progress.”

GOOD FOR HIM! He’s not transphobia, but wants the wrongs be righted
so no child be abused.
WHO PAYS FOR THSE TRANS ANYWAY?
Then he’d best understand its origins, operation, and portents. If any of his people see this, they’re free to contact me via FReepmail.
The medical establishment that promote this are criminal.
Sorry Elon, nobody killed your son but you.
You’re a complete idiot. Better go back to your WEF handlers and find a new scam.
Just as I was starting to rethink my distrust of him, he proves that my distrust in him was justified. I give the Lord credit for making me hesitant to give him my trust. Thank you again, my sweet Lord, for everything you have provided me in this life. Sadly, I failed to acknowledge just exactly what you did give me.
Deranged post of the day?
Yup.
Try harder.
It’s not talked about much, but in some ways Musk is a very weird guy.
A tragedy for Musk and for the boy. But out of bad comes good. Without the evil that tried to turn the child of a famous man into a poster child for yet another liberal idiocy, trans might well have continued far longer and more children irrevocably injured.
Most parents in that situation seem to either delude themselves that love makes them support the child or, if truly evil themselves, makes them encourage the destruction of their own child. Poorer parents trying to stand against this are facing an entire progressive medical and justice system and can only rail helplessly against a bureaucratic blank wall.
When they went after Musk’s child, they made the big mistake.
Musk not only has money, he has the personality and the power to take on an entire cultural view and smash it to shreds. He may not be able to save his own son, but what he’s doing by putting his money and power behind Trump will save countless other people’s children and will show that it IS possible to fight a cultural ideology and win.
Sorry for the son and father. Joyful at the prospects for the future.
So, you can provide him with excuses, but he was still complicit, regardless of the excuses.
He had the opportunity to stand in the breech, but he didn't. My contention is because he doesn't believe in the Lord. Instead he views it was he himself that made him who he is, but he was provided something special, and he fails to acknowledge where his success really comes from.
Explain, please, how Elon killed his son.
Do not misunderstand me, but understand Elon only does things when it affects him personally in a negatively way. Otherwise, he remains silent. If the Democrat policies were not affecting him in a negative way, he would not have voted for or supported Trump. The same is true of Vivek Ramaswamy.
Elon blames wokeness, but he will never acknowledge his complicity in the decision process that destroyed his son's life, for which there is no return from that decision once it is acted upon by surgery, or in many cases with just puberty blockers.
It really is a crime against humanity with these people facing gender identity issues.
Do not hold them in such high esteem, that you fail to see who they really are. Instead, you need to use them as the use you. Because as you have seen, they will not hesitate to attack you if you push back against their advice.
I’m always amazed at how many perfect people there are on the FR.
Psychologists and psychiatrists fool millions of people. They are touted as experts. Yet not one single person has ever been “cured” of a “mental illness.” Musk, like millions of others, never suspected that such an evil destructive fraud as the mental illness industry could exist. Or that gender dysporia is simply a money making scam and an atrocity.
“Well, it happened to one of my older boys,” the Tesla and SpaceX owner replied. “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.”
A real genius, eh? I guess reading the fine print is for peasants.
What fine print are you referring to? What was in the fine print that he didn't read? If you have the fine print on hand please upload it here. I'd like to see it.
Taxpayers do. At least in California. My daughter is going through this. Jabs herself daily with testosterone, courtesy of Medi-Cal.
I personally think creating this new persona - different sex, different name, different everything - is to divorce themselves from past trauma, which she has had. Brother offed himself. On purpose or the choking game phenomenon that was going on at the time, we don't know. But it devastated the family.
The new person is someone different from the old person that suffered. That's how I see it. If someone has a different perspective I'd like to hear it.
