Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently disclosed in a live interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson that he was “tricked” into granting permission for his child to undergo puberty blockers. During the interview on X, Musk expressed his concerns about the manipulation of children experiencing identity crises.
“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 on his personal experience, revealing, “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 cited California’s new legislation, Assembly Bill 1955, which allows schools to keep a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity confidential from their parents, as a primary reason for relocating SpaceX’s headquarters from California. The bill was signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom on July 15, 2024.This revelation brings attention to Vivian Jenna Wilson, Musk’s transgender daughter, previously named Xavier.
Birth and Early Life: Vivian, born as Xavier in 2004 in California, is a twin to her brother Griffin.Education: She attended Crossroads K-12 school in Santa Monica, where annual tuition costs up to $50,000.Gender Identity: Vivian reportedly tried to hide her true gender identity from her father for several years.Name Change: At 18, she officially adopted her mother Justine’s maiden name and filed a petition to change both her name and legal gender. A Santa Monica judge issued a new birth certificate reflecting her new name and gender: from Xavier Alexander Musk to Vivian Jenna Wilson.Family Dynamics: Vivian filed the petition shortly after her 18th birthday, and the court documents were made public the day after Father’s Day. Her relationship with Musk is reportedly strained, with Musk attributing her political views to her education at a progressive California school. He claimed, “She went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil.”
Musk’s revelations underscore the complexities and challenges surrounding family dynamics, identity, and the impact of legislation on personal decisions.
