Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk\u2019s estranged daughter, publicly refuted several recent anti-trans statements her Tesla CEO and X owner father has made about her.<\/p>\n
Wilson, who is transgender, on Thursday called a story Musk told about her on X \u201centirely fake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Musk posted on Monday that Wilson was \u201cborn gay and slightly autistic\u201d and added that as a child, she would \u201cpick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was \u2018fabulous!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
In her response on Threads, Wilson, 20, called the depiction an untrue gay stereotype.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never picked out jackets for him to wear and I was most certainly not calling them \u2018fabulous\u2019 because literally what the (f**k). I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because once again I would like to reiterate\u2026 I was four,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n
She added that Musk \u201cdoesn\u2019t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn\u2019t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness.\u201dMusk in recent years has become increasingly enthralled with right-wing politics, sharing anti-immigration, anti-DEI and anti-trans posts and ideologies on X.<\/p>\n
He described his shift in ideology in an interview with right-wing Canadian podcaster Jordan Peterson on Monday, in which he claimed he was \u201ctricked\u201d into signing medical documents for Wilson\u2019s transition, which he said happened during the Covid-19 pandemic. After her transition, the billionaire said, he \u201cvowed to destroy the woke mind virus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Musk has previously been criticized for his anti-trans comments. He has repeatedly made derogatory remarks about gender pronouns, including a now-deleted tweet from December 2020 that said, \u201cwhen you put he\/him in your bio,\u201d alongside a drawing of an 18th century soldier rubbing blood on his face in front of a pile of dead bodies and wearing a cap that read, \u201cI love to oppress.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response to criticism over that tweet, Musk wrote on Twitter: \u201cI absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic (sic) nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under Musk\u2019s leadership, X has rolled back safety protections for transgender people. And Musk last year declared the word \u201ccisgender\u201d \u2014 which describes someone whose gender identity conforms with the sex they were assigned at birth and is often used in medical contexts \u2014 as a \u201cslur\u201d on the site that is automatically hit with content restrictions if directed at another person.<\/p>\n
Musk has previously spoken about his daughter, including in the authorized biography written by journalist Walter Isaacson and published last year. In the book, the billionaire blamed his daughter\u2019s transition in part on her time at a progressive, Los Angeles school.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Wilson petitioned a California court to change her name and gender, saying she no longer wishes to be related to her father \u201cin any way, shape or form.\u201d But this week\u2019s posts mark her strongest rebuke yet of Musk\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n
In the Peterson interview, Musk said he considers his child \u201cdead\u201d following her transition. In his X post, Musk also said Wilson was \u201cnot a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wilson posted a video to Threads on Wednesday clarifying that she is \u201cfine \u2026 doing well actually.\u201d<\/p>\n
And in her Thursday posts, Wilson said that she is \u201clegally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don\u2019t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me.\u201d<\/p>\n
She ended by encouraging the billionaire to \u201ctouch some (f*****g) grass.\u201d<\/p>\n
