Twitter CEO Elon Musk weighed in on the transgenderism debate Friday morning, saying any parent or doctor who sterilizes children before they are an adult should go to prison for life.
“Any parent or doctor who sterilizes a child before they are a consenting adult should go to prison for life,” Musk tweeted in response to an MSNBC article on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

From Fox News:
His declaration came in reply to libertarian commentator Josie Glabach, a.k.a. The Redheaded Libertarian, who had shared an MSNBC op-ed that criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis and Republicans across the nation are pushing for legislation that would ban transgender medical treatments for minors, including puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgeries.
Musk’s comments were cheered by Republican lawmakers who oppose permitting gender dysphoric children to undergo transgender medical procedures, which is considered best practice by major medical groups, including the American Medical Association, the Children’s Hospital Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
“Why is this a controversial statement?” asked Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

Populist firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., voiced her agreement with Musk. “That’s why I introduced the Protect Children’s Innocence Act that makes it a felony to perform gender-affirming care on children under the age of 18,” she said.
And Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, likened transgender care to “child abuse.”
