Elon Musk’s Son is dead; he feels Estranged from his Son
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, revealed in a recent interview a deep rift between him and one of his sons. Musk claims he was misled into consenting to puberty blockers for his son, Xavier, who has since transitioned and now identifies as Vivian.
Puberty blockers are medications that delay physical signs of puberty. They are sometimes prescribed to help transgender youth manage gender dysphoria, the distress caused by a mismatch between a person's gender identity and their sex assigned at birth.

Misunderstanding and Loss
Musk told psychologist Jordan Peterson that a lack of understanding during the COVID-19 pandemic led him to make a decision he now regrets.
He alleges he was pressured into approving the treatment under the false notion that his son might attempt suicide if denied.
Musk expressed a sense of loss, stating, "They call it deadnaming for a reason.
The reason they call it deadnaming is because your son is dead." Deadnaming refers to using a transgender person's former name, which they no longer identify with.
Opposing Viewpoints
Musk believes the situation is a result of a "woke mind virus," and that those who promote such treatments for minors should be held accountable.
Peterson echoed these sentiments, calling the practice "evil."
Vivian’s Perspective
A Daily Mail report from June 2022 reveals that Xavier legally changed his name to Vivian and distanced himself from his father.
The Issue of Gender Transition
The interview sparked renewed debate on the ethics of gender transition procedures for minors.
While some believe it's crucial to support a child's gender identity, others raise concerns about potential long-term health effects and the pressure placed on young people.
