Tech billionaire Elon Musk recently revealed that his perspectives regarding gender ideology and population are deeply personal as he had to deal with one of his sons deciding to cut ties with him by changing both name and gender.
The Daily Wire released Monday (July 22) an exclusive interview with the founder and chief executive of Tesla, SpaceX, and other tech innovation companies, conducted by Canadian clinical psychologist and conservative intellectual Dr. Jordan B. Peterson at Tesla's Texas Gigafactory.
Both men talked about multiple topics, including him being a "cultural Christian," artificial intelligence (AI) and Musk's relation with one of his 12 children, particularly Vivian Jenna Wilson, formerly known as Xavier Alexander Musk.
The interview was streamed live on both DailyWire+ and X, the Musk-owned social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
Musk's Concern over AI Industry's Meteoric Rise
Peterson, mainly known for his bestseller book "12 Rules for Life," asked Musk about what he called the lack of "pro-human" principles among competing artificial intelligence (AI) companies, such as Sam Altman's OpenAI, which Musk's xAI has been in fierce personal and industrial competition with.
Musk explained his corporate beef with Altman and former Google CEO Larry Page on how AI should be developed, with the latter calling him a "speciesist."
The tech boss retorted that he was a speciesist "in favor of humans instead of machines," adding that Page's view was for humans to "upload [their] minds" to a computer.
In response, Peterson called such a prospect similar to the death of humanity.
Musk also hoped that his AI model and its AI chatbot named Grok would become the "most powerful in the world" by the end of the year.

Musk Admits He Was 'Tricked' for Letting Estranged Son to Become Trans
Another topic that was highlighted in Peterson's interview was the story behind Musk's relationship with Wilson.
Musk told Peterson that his son was "killed" by the "woke mind virus" and that he was "tricked" into allowing him to undergo gender transition procedures.
In the semantics of gender ideology, if someone transitions from one gender to another, the name associated with the old gender is considered "dead" as the person who transitioned normally assumes a new name reflecting the new gender.
With this in mind, Musk vowed to "destroy" such an ideology and agreed with Peterson that those who are responsible and complicit to such similar incidents should be apprehended by law.
Musk further claimed that multiple wins on the conservative side in the culture wars have been recorded, and that he would continue advocating for what he believes in.
It could be recalled that the tech billionaire made explicit statements about repopulating Earth due to falling birth rates, as well as donating his own sperm to populate Mars in his dream project of colonizing it.
VCPost recently reported that he was intending to relocate the headquarters of X and SpaceX from California to Texas after California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a state bill on trans rights into law.
