Entrepreneur Elon Musk blamed the far-Left for turning his transgender child against him, according to remarks that he made in an interview published this week.
The 18-year-old biological son of Elon Musk, who identifies as female, filed court papers back in June renouncing the billionaire and seeking a name change.
Xavier Musk wants to be known as Vivian Jenna Wilson, according to a petition filed in April in Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica, California. In requesting a new birth certificate to reflect the name and gender changes, the younger Musk, whose mother is Canadian author Justine Wilson, dissed the Tesla boss.
“Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” the younger Musk gave as the reason for wanting a name change.
In an interview published Friday in the Financial Times, Musk blamed the far-Left for turning his biological son against him, the newspaper said.
“It’s full-on communism . . . and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil,” says Musk. “It [the relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others [children]. Can’t win them all.”
The report in the newspaper said that Musk had a “dystopian view of the left’s influence on America,” a view that Musk has previously not been shy about sharing.
In an interview late last year with the Babylon Bee, Musk said that wokeness was one of the biggest threats to civilization.
Musk was asked during the interview to explain the meaning of the following tweet:
traceroute woke_mind_virus

“Okay, so traceroute is a networking command to — so, if you want to figure out a path to a particular server, or domain, you’d say ‘traceroute,’ or in Windows, ‘TRACERT,’ that would show you the path to a particular source server, either an IP address or domain name, and it would show you basically all the hops that it goes through, and the latency between each hop,” Musk said. “So traceroute would be like, where did it come from? Where did the virus come from? What is its origin?”
“[Wokeness] is a prevalent mind virus, and arguably one of the biggest threats to modern civilization,” Musk continued, later adding: “At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people a reason, it gives them a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue.”
