Elon Musk weighed in on the apparently ongoing debate about what constitutes being a man or a woman.

This was a non-controversial topic for centuries until recently, but now it is a debated topic of conversation for many.

On Friday, author Matt Taibbi commented on the Matt Walsh documentary “What Is A Woman” with a question.

“I wonder if we’re institutionalizing stereotypes about gender in the same way academics have tried to institutionalize stereotypes about how ‘hard work,’ ‘being polite,’ ‘punctuality’ and the ‘written word’ are ‘white culture,’” he said, to which Musk responded.

“We are simultaneously being told that gender differences do not exist and that genders are so profoundly different that irreversible surgery is the only option. Perhaps someone wiser than me can explain this dichotomy,” he said.

The Tesla, Space X and Starlink CEO made more news last week after author Daniel Crosby tweeted that his life has changed since he stopped drinking Diet Coke and it caught Musk’s attention.

“I used to drink tons of Diet Coke but it’s been one month since I’ve had a drop,” he said. “I want to share some of the changes I’ve observed in myself over that time: My health is unchanged. I’m less happy. My one source of joy is gone. Thanks for encouraging me on this journey.”

Musk responded, saying “Diet Coke is amazing, especially the soda fountain version at movie theaters with salt & butter popcorn.

“There’s something special about enjoying movies in a theater with total strangers. I hope that never goes away,” he said.

“I don’t even care if it lowers my life expectancy,” he said.

Musk has become a man who delves into politics in recent times and he just made his biggest dive into that world.

He has officially endorsed a candidate for mayor of Los Angeles and it is former Republican, now Democrat, Rick Caruso.

“Los Angeles is fortunate to have someone like Rick Caruso running for mayor. He’s awesome,” he said.

“It is rare for me to endorse political candidates. My political leanings are moderate, so neither fully Republican nor Democrat, which I am confident is the case for most Americans. Executive competence is super underrated in politics – we should care about that a lot more!” he said.

Many have wondered if Caruso, who was a Republican three years ago, has really changed his positions to those of the Democrats or if he is doing what he has to do to win in the liberal city of Los Angeles.

Musk has been vocal about his politics in the past few months as he announced he has switched from voting for Democrats to now supporting Republicans.

The billionaire appeared on a podcast last month and gave his opinion on who he believes the “real president” is, Fox News reported.

“The real president is whoever controls the teleprompter,” he said. “The path to power is the path to the teleprompter.”

“I do feel like if somebody were to accidentally lean on the teleprompter, it’s going to be like Anchorman,” he said, which is a reference to the 2004 film in which Ron Burgundy, played by actor Will Ferrell, reads anything that is written on the teleprompter.

He said that he has voted “overwhelmingly for Democrats,” but he does not appear to be a fan of the current administration.

“This administration doesn’t seem to get a lot done,” he said. “The Trump administration, leaving Trump aside, there were a lot of people in the administration who were effective at getting things done.”

He said he believes that the Democratic Party is “overly controlled by the unions and by the trial lawyers, particularly the class action lawyers.” He said that when Democrats go against “the interests of the people,” it is because of unions and trial lawyers, and when Republicans do it, “it’s because of corporate evil and religious zealotry.”
