The latest interview with Elon Musk shocked even his most loyal fans. The billionaire and Tesla owner admitted that his transgender daughter is no longer alive, attributing it to medications that "castrated" her. Musk also announced a crusade against the "woke mind virus."

The cultural gender identity of young people often develops over several years. During this time, they may navigate between pronouns and designations, trying to find themselves. Some parents support their children through this process, giving them the time and space to discover their identities and romantic or sexual interests. This can be more challenging for conservative guardians, as some may stop accepting their child, sometimes even resorting to throwing them out of the house or disinheriting them.

Social status of the parent rarely plays a role in their approach to their child, although it cannot be completely disregarded. Individuals from more conservative backgrounds tend to be less open about sexual matters.

Did Elon Musk lose his transgender daughter?

In a recent interview with "Daily Wire," Elon Musk stated that he was deceived by people who assist youth in transitioning. The billionaire admitted that he signed documents allowing puberty blockers for his older transgender daughter, Xavier. Musk claimed he was threatened that if he did not agree, Xavier would commit suicide. He described puberty blockers as a sterilizing agent. When asked about Xavier's future, Musk said, "Xavier is no longer alive. My son is dead."

The billionaire also addressed the issue of the "dead name." According to him, this term implies that the person known before the transition process dies. The perceived loss of Xavier has profoundly affected Musk, who now aims to fight for the well-being of other children. In the interview, Elon Musk announced he would combat the "woke mind virus" for as long as he lives, believing that propaganda led to Xavier's "death."
