Vivian Jenna Wilson Responds to Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Remarks

Vivian Jenna Wilson, the estranged daughter of Elon Musk, has publicly challenged her father's recent anti-trans remarks, labeling them as false. In a post on X, Musk claimed that Wilson was “born gay and slightly autistic” and recounted a fabricated story about her childhood, suggesting she would choose his outfits and describe them as “fabulous.” In her response on Threads, Wilson, 20, rejected this portrayal as a harmful stereotype, asserting that she did not use such language at the age of four and criticized Musk for not being present during her childhood, which was marked by harassment for her identity. Musk's political views have shifted towards right-wing ideologies, as he has shared various anti-immigration and anti-trans sentiments on social media. In a recent interview with Canadian podcaster Jordan Peterson, Musk claimed he was “tricked” into consenting to medical procedures related to Wilson's transition during the pandemic. He further stated that he vowed to combat what he termed the “woke mind virus” following her transition, a comment that has drawn significant backlash. Despite Musk's previous statements, including a controversial tweet where he claimed to support trans individuals while criticizing pronouns, Wilson has firmly asserted her identity. She emphasized her legal recognition as a woman in California and expressed indifference towards her father's opinions, urging him to engage with the world outside his privileged bubble. Wilson's public rebuttal highlights the ongoing tensions between her and Musk, reflecting broader societal debates surrounding gender identity and parental acceptance.
