Elon Musk says young kids who believe in Santa cannot grasp the idea of 'gender'

Elon Musk, who has been decrying the practice of performing gender-transition measures on children, said in a tweet on Friday that young children who believe in Santa Claus are not capable of comprehending the idea of "gender."

Musk had previously shared a meme that features a pregnant woman asking a physician whether her child is a boy or a girl, to which the doctor replies, "We'll let the kindergarten teacher decide."

Someone replied to Musk's post by sharing a meme that features a photo of a child and text that reads, "YOU'RE TELLING ME I CAN'T PICK MY BEDTIME BUT I CAN PICK MY GENDER?"

Musk responded, "Kids who are so young they think Santa is literally true obviously cannot understand the concept of 'gender.'"

Musk has previously indicated that he will lobby to criminalize the performance of gender-transition measures on kids who are younger than the age of consent.

"This is a major problem. I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. Shame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible," he declared.

Musk has also noted that "'gender-affirming care for minors' is pure evil."

The term "gender-affirming care" refers to measures such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries that do precisely the opposite of affirming an individual's immutable biological sex.

Musk, who has been outspoken in opposing gender transitions for children, has also weighed in on the new federal indictment of former President Donald Trump. Trump announced on Thursday that his attorneys had been notified that he had been indicted. Trump also said he had been summoned to appear at a federal courthouse on Tuesday.

"There does seem to be far higher interest in pursuing Trump compared to other people in politics. Very important that the justice system rebut what appears to be differential enforcement or they will lose public trust," Musk tweeted on Thursday.

"Almost everyone would agree that no one is above the law, but it must be applied equally. Differential pursuit of justice undermines public faith in the system," he tweeted on Friday.
