United States of America tech billionaire, Elon Musk has taken a swipe at transgender people, saying, ‘It is time for the virus mind to die.”
Elon Musk, who is the lead at the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump's administration, made this known in a terse statement replying to a Behavioural Risk Surveillance Survey by the Centre for Disease Control on the rising percentage of US adults identifying as transgender.
According to the survey data released on X Sunday by a popular American author, John LeFerre, US adults identifying as transgender surged by year of birth.
The data means that adults identifying as transgender have been on a steady spike, especially those with birth dates from 1990 to 2005.
Reacting, Musk described the trend as a “woke mind virus in action.”
“Now, it is time for the mind virus to die,” he wrote on his X account.
His comments come after Trump's administration showed a tough stance against transgender people since his second term inauguration in January 2025.
