In a blunt statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Musk called foran immediate proposal to ban all tournaments that allow biological men to compete in women’s categories, saying it’s “unfair, unsafe, and blatantly anti-science.”
“This is not about hate. It’s about preserving fairness in women’s sports,” Musk wrote. “Let women compete against women. Period.”
The tweet, which has already racked up over 100 million views in under 12 hours, triggered a digital earthquake, with supporters hailing Musk as a defender of female athletes, while critics slammed the move as transphobic and discriminatory.
