Tech mogul Elon Musk recently shared his thoughts on the rise of transgender identity among white males, attributing it to what he referred to as “anti-white male propaganda.”
In a post on his platform X, Musk stated, “My observation is that a major driver of white males becoming trans is the relentless propaganda portraying white men as the worst human beings.”

According to Musk, the negative portrayal of white males in society, particularly during their formative years, combined with the option to join a celebrated group, may lead some individuals to identify as transgender.
Responding to Musk’s post, a user on X commented, “Interesting theory. It may also explain why so many white women support trans mania despite the harm it causes them and their children.”

Musk replied with the 100 emoji, indicating his agreement with the user’s perspective.
It is worth noting that one of Musk’s children identifies as transgender.

Reflecting on the impact of societal perceptions, Musk previously highlighted the concept of “deadnaming” during an interview with Jordan Peterson, mentioning the loss of his son Xavier to what he referred to as the “woke mind virus.”
