Elon Musk, during an interview, has revealed one of his sons was "figuratively dead" after the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was tricked into giving consent for his child to go on puberty blockers.

During the conversation, Musk also said he vowed to destroy the virus.

"It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier," Musk told Jordan Peterson.

"This is before I had any understanding of what was going on. Covid-19 was going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn't," the billionaire said.

"That was a lie right from the outset," Peterson responded.

"Incredibly evil, and I agree with you that the people that have been promoting this should go to prison," Musk said.

The Tesla CEO added it wasn't explained to him that puberty blockers are "actually just sterilisation drugs" when he gave his consent for his son to undergo the treatment.

"I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason," Musk said.

"The reason it's called deadnaming is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."

After an extended pause, Musk added, "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that."

Musk's revelation came after he asked about his thoughts on doctors performing sex change procedures on children, a practice both Musk and Peterson described as "evil."

According to a report with the Daily Mail, Xavier got his name changed to Vivian Musk, after he came out as transgender in June 2022.

"I no longer want to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form," Vivian said at the time, according to the report.
