Tesla CEO Elon Musk had stated that his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, was “killed” by the “woke mind virus” after he deceivingly signed his daughter’s gender care procedures.

In a recent interview with conservative commentator Dr. Jordan Peterson, Musk claimed he was “tricked” into signing documents for his daughter’s gender-affirming care during the COVID-19 pandemic, calling it “child mutilation and sterilization.” He said this experience set him on a mission to “destroy the woke mind virus.”

Musk referred to Vivian by her deadname and said he “lost” his son, stating, “The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead.”

“I was tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys. This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told (Musk’s child) might commit suicide,” he said.

Wilson said she no longer wishes to be related to her “biological father in any way, shape or form.”

“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we’re making some progress,” Musk stated.

Musk has previously criticized the “woke mind virus,” calling it “arguably one of the greatest threats to modern civilization.” His recent comments come as he continues to increase his conservative political commentary, particularly since purchasing Twitter in 2022.

Wilson legally changed her name and gender at the age of 18 in June 2022 at the Santa Monica courthouse in California.

In a petition filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in April 2022, Wilson stated that the name change was due to her gender identity and an apparent dislike of her father, Elon Musk.
