Elon Musk has become one of the most controversial personalities in the world due to his radical stances on various issues and in recent days he captured everyone’s attention by claiming that the woke ideology had murdered his son.
During a recent interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson, the billionaire businessman explained that he had been tricked into allowing his daughter Vivian’s gender transition.
The Tesla owner lamented that his daughter has been “dominated” by progressive ideology to the point of wanting to change their sex, adopting the name Vivian Jenna Wilson.

“I was tricked into doing this. They didn’t explain to me that puberty blockers are actually sterilization drugs,” he said.

“The Woke Virus Killed My Son”
Musk’s relationship with his daughter has been deteriorating over time and one of the reasons that has caused the estrangement was Vivian’s gender change.
In this regard, the businessman commented that although he has tried to maintain contact with her, the young woman has remained firm in not wanting to spend time with him, which Musk attributes to the influence of woke ideology.
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. My son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke virus,” Musk said, still denying Vivian’s identity.
For that reason, the SpaceX CEO reiterated that the people behind promoting progressive ideology “should go to prison.”
