Elon Musk has faced sharp criticism from his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson after he claimed she was “brainwashed by the woke mind virus.” Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, suggested in an interview that he was “tricked” into allowing his child to transition into a woman.
Vivian Jenna Wilson, 20, has responded, accusing her father of using her for “attention and validation,” noting that she barely knew him growing up. Particularly irksome to Vivian was his claim that she would pick out clothes for him at the age of four and call them “fabulous.”
“This is entirely fake”
In a detailed post on Threads, Vivian wrote: “This is entirely fake. Like, literally, none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random, and said ‘eh- good enough’ in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own f—ing story.”
Vivian further debunked her father’s claims, pointing out that she did not have a “love of musical theatre” at four years old. “I never picked out jackets for him to wear and I was most certainly not calling them ‘fabulous’ because literally what the f—,” she continued. “I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because once again I would like to reiterate… I was four.”
Musk had claimed that ‘allowing’ Vivian to transition influenced his shift towards right-wing politics and his mission to “destroy the woke mind virus.” Vivian retorted: “This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness.”
This response came after Musk’s interview with Jordan Peterson
She firmly dismissed Musk’s narrative, adding, “As for if I’m not a woman… sure, Jan. Whatever you say. I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me.”
Vivian concluded with a sharp rebuke: “Obviously Elon can’t say the same because in a ketamine-fueled haze, he’s desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him.”
This response came after Musk’s controversial interview with Jordan Peterson for the Daily Wire, where Musk expressed regret over signing documents for his child’s transition and criticized gender-affirming care, stating, “It’s incredibly evil and I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison.”
Musk’s remarks, including his statement that “my son, Xavier, is dead. Killed by the woke mind virus,” have been met with widespread backlash and have deeply hurt his relationship with his daughter, who has now publicly countered his claims.
