"Elon Musk has made the mistake of opening his mouth yet again, this time sharing his baseless theory that "white males" are transitioning due to "propaganda". The world's most divorced billionaire took to his social media platform, X, formerly Twitter, to give an "observation" that no one asked for, baselessly claiming that "white males" are somehow being convinced to transition through "propaganda"."
"The 54-year-old, who is not a sexologist and has no education in gender studies, claimed with his full chest and no evidence his "observation" that the "major driver of white males becoming trans is the relentless propaganda portraying white men as the worst human beings." "If those lies land, especially during vulnerable teen years, and they are given an option to be a 'celebrated' group, some will do it.""
"The so-called "celebrated" group Musk is referring to ranked among the highest demographic for reported hate crimes in the US, according to an August report from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). For the past three years, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has documented over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills, many of which are transphobic, proposed in US state congresses across the country. 70 of the 604 bills proposed this year alone have already passed into law."
Elon Musk posted a claim that "white males" are transitioning because of "propaganda" portraying white men as the worst human beings, suggesting vulnerable teens might seek membership in a 'celebrated' group. He lacks training in sexology or gender studies and offered no evidence for the assertion. Data do not support higher transition or detransition rates among white males. FBI reporting shows the referenced group ranks highly among reported hate crime victims, while the ACLU documented over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills in recent years, with dozens passed into law. Musk has a history of right-wing and anti-LGBTQ+ statements and public controversies.
