Tesla chief Elon Musk, during an interview with American conservative commentator Jordan Peterson, alleged that his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, was “killed" by the “woke mind virus" after he was persuaded to give consent to gender-affirming care procedures.

During the interview, Musk called the gender-reassignment surgery a “child mutilation and sterilisation" procedure. The X owner claimed that during the Covid pandemic, he was convinced to sign documents for one of his children.

“I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys," Mr Musk stated. “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 [my child] might commit suicide."

Musk accused those involved in promoting gender-affirming care of targeting children “who are far below the age of consent."

“I was tricked into doing this," Musk claimed. “I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead."

The experience, Musk claimed, set him on a mission to combat what he describes as the “woke mind virus." He said, “I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we’re making some progress."

Two years ago, Elon Musk’s transgender daughter had filed a request to change her name in accordance with her new gender identity and because “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

The petition for both a name change and a new birth certificate reflecting her new gender identity was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica in April. It came to light recently in some online media reports.

The former Xavier Alexander Musk, who had recently turned 18, the age of consent in California, had asked the court to change her gender recognition from male to female and to register her new name, according to court documents available online through PlainSite.org.

Her new name was redacted in the online document. Her mother is Justine Wilson, who divorced Musk in 2008.

There was no further explanation of the rift between Musk’s daughter and her father.
