Tech entrepreneur and California resident Elon Musk has criticized a proposed state law that, if enacted, would require that parents affirm their child’s gender identity in custody rights cases as “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

Mr. Musk’s comment on his X platform, formerly known as Twitter, came as the Democratic-majority state Assembly approved the legislation on Sept. 8, sending it to Gov. Gavin Newsom for his signature.
