"After Newsom's social media team said, "We're sorry your daughter hates you, Elon," the CEO posted his own rant against trans people. "I assume you're referring to my son, [deadname], who has a tragic mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus you push on vulnerable children," Musk said."
"This week, a clip of Newsom talking went viral for his support of trans rights, a position that has angered many right-wing figures. Newsom points out in the New York Times video that as governor of California, he has enacted more pro-trans legislation than in any other state. However, he still defends his stance against trans inclusion in sports as an issue of fairness, noting that "80% of people listening disagree with my position on this.""
Elon Musk and California Gov. Gavin Newsom engaged in a public spat after Newsom's social media account mocked Musk's estrangement from his trans child. Musk responded by referring to his child using a deadname and calling gender-affirming ideas an "evil woke mind virus" that he said causes mental illness. Newsom emphasizes a long record of pro-trans legislation in California and personal support for trans youth while defending limits on trans inclusion in sports as an issue of fairness. Musk's America PAC retweeted a clip of Newsom praising trans rights, and Newsom's press office replied with a taunting message aimed at Musk.
