Elon Musk’s recent tweets have been filled with anti-trans content, raising concerns about his stance on transgender rights. Over the weekend, Musk praised England’s new restrictions on puberty blockers for trans youth and shared tweets with disparaging imagery about trans women in sports, promoting harmful rhetoric against gender-affirming care for minors. This aligns him with right-wing politicians who seek to restrict care for trans minors by spreading false information about sterilization. It is important to note that hormone blockers used by trans youth do not cause infertility and are a common temporary treatment to delay the development of secondary sex characteristics during puberty.
Musk’s anti-trans rhetoric has become more evident in recent weeks. He has praised transphobic tweets, endorsed a harmful documentary, and even expressed his support for “criminalizing” medical providers who care for trans children. This surge in anti-trans content on Twitter comes at a time when the platform has rolled back its protections for trans users, allowing targeted misgendering and hateful content with only warning labels. Critics argue that this makes the site less safe for trans individuals.
It is disappointing to see a prominent figure like Musk, who previously boasted about LGBTQ equality in his company, now align himself with anti-trans pundits and propagate harmful rhetoric. This raises concerns about his personal politics and his understanding of the struggles and rights of the transgender community.
