**Elon Musk Sparks Uproar With Call to Ban Biological Men From Women’s Sports Categories**
In a bold post on X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk demanded an immediate proposal to ban all tournaments that allow biological men to compete in women’s sports, calling the practice “unfair, unsafe, and blatantly anti-science.”
“This isn’t about hate—it’s about fairness,” Musk wrote. “Let women compete against women. Period.” His statement has quickly gone viral, racking up over 100 million views within 12 hours and igniting a fierce debate online.
Supporters are praising Musk as a champion for female athletes, while critics accuse him of promoting transphobia and discrimination. Sources say he’s now considering financing legal and lobbying efforts to push for sex-based competition rules in major sports, from MMA and tennis to Olympic qualifiers.
The post comes amid growing controversy, following a recent women’s golf tournament in California where a transgender woman’s win sparked backlash and reignited the debate over fairness in female divisions.
Some high-profile athletes have backed Musk, including tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who reposted his comments with the words, “Finally, someone with power speaks up. Fairness matters.” In contrast, LGBTQ+ groups have condemned the remarks, calling them a threat to inclusivity and equal rights.
Known for diving into hot-button issues—from pandemic policies to artificial intelligence—Musk is once again at the center of a cultural firestorm. Whether seen as a necessary voice or an overstep, his latest move has made gender and fairness in sports one of the most polarizing topics of 2025.
