Elon Musk recently criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom in a rising controversy regarding his child, Vivian Jenna Wilson. This conflict ignited after Musk’s America PAC shared a clip from Newsom’s appearance on “The Ezra Klein Show.” During the interview, Newsom claimed to have enacted more pro-trans legislation than any other governor, discussing his views on transgender athletes participating in women’s sports.
Contentious Exchange Between Musk and Newsom
In a segment of his podcast, Newsom stated that allowing transgender athletes in women’s sports is “deeply unfair.” His remarks prompted a quick response from Musk, who took issue with the governor’s comments. Newsom’s press office fueled the dispute by tweeting, “Correct. We’re sorry your daughter hates you, Elon.” This response was directed at Musk concerning his relationship with Wilson.
Musk’s Response on Social Media
Musk sharply retorted, clarifying his relationship with his children. He stated, “I assume you’re referring to my son, Xavier, who has a tragic mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you push on vulnerable children.” He mentioned that he continues to love Xavier, despite the challenges, and added he has other daughters, Azure, Exa (known as Y), and Arcadia, who love him.
Woke Mind Virus Discussion
In further comments, Musk expressed concerns regarding what he termed the “woke mind virus.” He claimed it has adversely affected vulnerable youths, including his son. During an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson, Musk described being misled into allowing Wilson to take puberty blockers, emphasizing he was uninformed at the time.
- Musk stated: “I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason.”
- He characterized this experience as losing his son to what he deems the “woke mind virus.”
- Musk vowed to fight against the influence of this ideology.
This ongoing discussion highlights the contentious debates surrounding transgender rights and mental health. Musk’s bold assertions and criticisms reflect his belief that certain ideologies are harming today’s youth.
