Musk claimed he was “tricked” into signing documents regarding her transition.

He repeatedly used the wrong pronouns, saying, “I lost my son.”

Musk even went so far as to refer to “deadnaming” as indicative of a deeper loss.

“The reason it’s called ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead,” he stated.

He attributed his daughter’s transition to what he called the “woke mind virus.”
