Twitter boss Elon Musk has vowed to do everything in his power “criminalize” efforts to make “irreversible changes to children below the age of consent.”

The Redheaded libertarian said:
“Governor DeSantis: you can’t sex change for your child in Florida.
“MSNBC: Ron DeSantis’ desperation for power is destroying an entire state. “
Musk said: “Any parent or doctor who sterilizes a child before they are a consenting adult should go to prison for life.”
