Elon Musk is receiving a wave of support following the metaphorical ‘passing’ of his transgender son, Vivian Musk. In a candid interview with Fox News Digital, the SpaceX CEO delved into the controversial issue of ‘puberty blockers.’ Musk revealed that he felt misled into consenting to the use of these blockers for his child. For those not in the know, Vivian Musk came out as transgender in June 2022, opting to change his name to Xavier and adopting his mother’s last name.
Musk Opens Up About the Puberty Blockers Controversy
Elon Musk claimed that doctors pressured him by stating that if puberty blockers were not administered, Xavier might have been at risk of suicide. Musk described this experience as a ‘woke mind virus.’ Amidst this tumult, UFC fighter Sean Strickland stepped in with words of empathy.

Sean Strickland, no stranger to stirring the pot with his online comments, voiced his support for Musk. On his X account, Strickland posted, “My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind-virus,” quoting Musk. He added, “It takes a bigger man to say that than to say, ‘I love my kids no matter what’ <<< weak.”
While Strickland’s support for Musk might seem heartfelt, his remarks have the potential to ignite further controversy. By labeling unconditional love as ‘weak,’ Strickland treads on sensitive ground. Meanwhile, Strickland is busy preparing for his UFC middleweight title rematch.
Strickland expressed his frustration with the UFC 297 decision, feeling sidelined in favor of Israel Adesanya. Fresh off a victory against Paulo Costa, Strickland is eyeing a title challenge against Dricus du Plessis. However, his ongoing feud with Khamzat Chimaev suggests a different showdown might be on the horizon.
Khamzat Chimaev recently boasted about dominating Strickland in a sparring session. Unamused, Strickland fired back, claiming he ‘retired’ Chimaev ‘after COVID.’ Strickland made it clear that once he’s done with the middleweight title shot, he plans to confront Chimaev.
On the flip side, Chimaev is also keen on a face-off with Strickland. With many possibilities in play, it’s up to UFC President Dana White to decide which bout gets the green light for Strickland.
For now, the drama surrounding Musk and Strickland continues to unfold, with each new twist adding to the intrigue.
