Elon Musk Says His Child Is 'Dead' To Him In Disturbing Anti-Trans Tirade

Elon Musk, the billionaire tech mogul who whined about the Oscars turning “woke” and removed protections on his social media platform against targeted misgendering, says his 20-year-old trans child is “dead” — because she transitioned from male to female.
