Elon Musk pledges ‘justice will be served’ to doctors who mutilate children

From LifeSiteNews
The battle to stop the surgical and chemical ‘transitioning’ of gender-confused minors is a personal one for Elon Musk, whose own son has fallen victim to the same ‘woke mind virus.’
Tech mogul and presidential adviser Elon Musk declared on Thursday that “justice will be served” against physicians involved in the surgical and chemical “transitioning” of gender-confused children, reiterating that the incoming Trump administration will have at least one influential voice dedicated to pursuing the matter.
Musk made the statement in response to a comment by therapist and Just Therapy founder James Esses, who called for ensuring “that those in positions of power who were responsible for sterilizing and mutilating children are not able to disappear off into the sunset and pretend that they never had anything to do with it.”
The Tesla, SpaceX, and X/Twitter chief also declared that “Puberty blockers are a horrific crime against children and those who push them are criminals.”
The battle is a personal one for Musk, who this summer opened up about the “evil” of “child mutilation and sterilization” and how he “was essentially tricked into signing documents, for one of my older boys, Xavier […] before I had really any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on and there was a lot of confusion.”
“I was told, you know, Xavier might commit suicide if you don’t,” he said. “So, I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘dead naming’ for a reason. So my son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”
During the 2024 campaign, returning President Donald Trump attacked Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for the transgender agenda, vowed to sign an executive order “instructing every federal agency to cease the promotion of sex or gender transition at any age,” and said he wants to “make it a felony for any medical professional to perform surgery on a minor without parental consent.”
That last comment has left uncertainty as to whether Trump would be content to allow harmful underage “transitions” as long as parents approve. Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, has given mixed signals on the subject, both criticizing the rush to subject prepubescent children to irreversible procedures but also using LGBT lobby language such as gender “assigned at birth” and leaving the door open to “transitioning” minors after they’ve reached puberty.
Musk’s prominence in the Trump team, as co-lead of the non-governmental Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) advisory group, offers conservatives and pro-family advocates reassurance that at least one major figure with the president’s ear will passionately argue against such tendencies, should they arise.

Elon Musk forms America Party after split with Trump

Quick Hit:
Elon Musk announced Saturday he is forming the “America Party,” claiming it will challenge what he calls the “one-party system” in Washington. The move follows his public split with President Trump and appears aimed at targeting Republicans who supported the president’s domestic agenda.
Key Details:
- Musk announced the America Party on X, declaring that Americans are living under a “one-party system” and need a new political alternative.
- The launch followed his criticism of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
- On Independence Day, Musk posted a poll asking if Americans wanted “independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system,” which he cited as support for forming the party.
By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!
When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.
Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom. https://t.co/9K8AD04QQN

Diving Deeper:
Elon Musk formally announced the launch of his new political outfit — the “America Party” — on Saturday, marking a new chapter in his increasingly public clash with Republican leadership.
“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” Musk wrote on his platform, X. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
The announcement comes as tensions between Musk and President Trump have escalated. While Musk previously worked closely with the administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, the relationship has deteriorated in the wake of Trump’s push for the One Big Beautiful Bill, a major domestic package that Musk now openly criticizes.
In a series of recent posts, Musk vowed to help primary Republican lawmakers who backed the bill. “They will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” he posted earlier this week.
He’s offered few specifics beyond that, other than suggesting the party will “laser-focus” on a handful of Senate and House races in 2026. So far, there’s been no indication of a formal party structure, candidate recruitment, or funding plan.
Critics were quick to compare Musk’s move to Ross Perot’s 1992 presidential bid, which many credit with splitting the conservative vote and aiding Bill Clinton’s election. “You are pulling a Ross Perot, and I don’t like it,” one user reportedly responded on X.
Meanwhile, Trump has reportedly explored options to retaliate. According to multiple reports, the president has discussed whether to revoke federal contracts connected to Musk’s companies and even floated questions about his citizenship. “We’ll have to take a look,” Trump told reporters when asked directly.
While it’s too early to tell whether the America Party will amount to more than a personal platform, the political message is clear: Musk is now openly working against Republicans he once aligned with, and doing so under his own banner.

Diving Deeper:
Texas is reeling from one of the deadliest flash floods in recent memory, with at least 43 confirmed dead—including 15 children—after floodwaters surged through Kerr County early Friday morning. Officials said 12 adults and five children have yet to be identified.
Much of the devastation centered around the historic Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp for girls situated along the Guadalupe River, where dozens of campers were swept up in the flood. Family members have since confirmed that four of the victims—8-year-olds Renee Smajstrla and Sarah Marsh, and 9-year-olds Janie Hunt and Lila Bonner—had been attending the camp.
Renee’s uncle reportedly wrote on Facebook that she was “living her best life at Camp Mystic.” Sarah’s family shared that the Alabama girl was “a spunky ray of light,” while Lila’s relatives described their pain as “unimaginable.”
The camp’s longtime director, Dick Eastland, died heroically while trying to rescue girls from a cabin as waters rushed through the grounds. Another director, Jane Ragsdale of the nearby Heart O’ the Hills Camp, was also killed. Though her camp wasn’t in session, she was on the property when the flood struck.
Camp Mystic, which serves hundreds of girls each summer, was left in ruins. “The camp was completely destroyed,” said 13-year-old Elinor Lester, who was among those rescued. Photos show cabins torn open, trees ripped from the ground, and bunk beds submerged nearly to the top by river water.
As many as 27 girls at the camp were swept up by the flooding, but several have since been reunited with their families. Ashley Flack, whose daughter attended Mystic, said Saturday, “There are lots of families missing, children and friends… Our daughter is safe. Our son is safe. The operation to get the girl camp out did a good job.”
Rescue missions pulled at least 858 people to safety, and eight were reported injured. Officials noted that while other nearby camps were also impacted, those campers have been accounted for and are awaiting evacuation as crews work to repair damaged roads.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott expanded a disaster declaration on Saturday to include 21 counties. More than 1,000 state personnel and 800 vehicles are assisting in rescue and recovery, while FEMA, the Texas National Guard, and Coast Guard aircraft have been deployed to aid in the search.
President Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday, saying: “Melania and I are praying for all of the families impacted by this horrible tragedy. Our Brave First Responders are on site doing what they do best. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!”
Forecasters say more rain could fall over the next 48 hours, raising the risk of additional flooding across Central Texas. The Guadalupe River last saw similar tragedy in 1987, when 10 teenagers died after a church bus was swept away.
