Elon Musk has condemned so-called “gender-affirming care” practitioners for effectively “killing” his son — by tricking the billionaire into authorizing puberty-blocking treatments out of fear the then-teenager would otherwise commit suicide. In remarks made Monday, Musk said the devastating experience fueled his commitment to “destroy the woke mind virus.”

The specter of suicide is frequently introduced by practitioners who recommend gender change therapies. When pressuring parents to go along, they often present a disturbing choice, typically phrased as “would you rather have a dead son or a living daughter?”

“[The suicide threat] was a lie right from the outset,” observed Peterson. Musk replied, “Incredibly evil, and I agree with you that the people that have been promoting this should go to prison,” and added, “It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs.”
