The Tesla and X owner reacted to a US jury verdict in favor of a woman who underwent a mastectomy at 16<\/p>\n
US surgeons who perform \u2018gender transition\u2019 procedures on minors could face thousands of lawsuits, Elon Musk has said. He likened them to Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who carried out sadistic medical experiments on prisoners at the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp during the Second World War.
\nThe Tesla and X owner was reacting to news that Fox Varian, who had a double mastectomy at age 16, won what is described as the first detransitioner malpractice lawsuit in the United States. Now 22, Varian said New York doctors had compelled her to undergo the surgery while she was still a minor.
\nBoth a psychologist and a surgeon approved the procedure. A jury later found them liable for malpractice. Varian was awarded $1.6 million for pain and suffering and another $400,000 for future medical costs.
\n\u201dThere will be thousands of court cases of children who were mutilated by evil doctors, modern day Mengeles,\u201d Musk wrote on X on Saturday, sharing a post about the ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201dThe schools, psychologists\/psychiatrists and state officials who facilitated this will pay dearly too,\u201d he added.
\nMusk has previously spoken publicly about his own family\u2019s experience with the radical \u2018gender transition\u2019 movement. One of his children, Xavier, came out as transgender at 16 and later changed his name to Vivian Jenna Wilson.
\nThe billionaire has claimed he was \u201cessentially tricked into signing documents\u201d by doctors, calling the practice \u201cincredibly evil.\u201d
\n\u201cI lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason,\u201d Musk said in earlier remarks, adding that Xavier had been figuratively killed by what he described as the \u201cwoke mind virus,\u201d which he vowed to \u201cdestroy.\u201d
\nSince returning to office, President Donald Trump has rolled back several policies introduced under his predecessor Joe Biden, including federal support for medical gender transition procedures for individuals under the age of 19. Several US states have also moved to restrict or ban such treatments for minors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
