In a recent turn of events, Vivian Wilson, the estranged trans daughter of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has come forward to share her side of the story following her father's controversial comments about their relationship. The conversation took place during a disjointed live stream on the X platform, where topics such as Christian imagery and the "carnivore diet" were discussed, but it was Musk's remarks about Wilson that caused a major uproar.
During the live stream, Musk repeatedly deadnamed and misgendered Wilson, referring to her by her birth name and using male pronouns. He portrayed himself as a victim of Wilson's gender transition and legal name change, expressing feeling deceived into signing paperwork allowing her to pursue hormone therapy. Musk even attributed his embrace of far-right politics in recent years to this family situation, claiming that his "son" had been "killed" by the "woke mind virus."
On Thursday, Wilson took to her Threads account to push back against her father's narrative. She first challenged a tweet where Musk once again deadnamed and misgendered her, claiming that she was born "gay and slightly autistic." Wilson shared a screenshot of the tweet with her birth name covered, addressing the remark as "the notorious 'slightly autistic' tweet" and expressing her amusement at the claim.
In subsequent posts, Wilson clarified that she was the one who had disowned her father, not the other way around. When legally changing her name and gender in 2022, she explicitly stated her desire to sever all ties with Musk. By that time, Musk had already expressed criticism of preferred pronouns and shown support for Florida's controversial "Don't Say Gay" law, further widening the divide between them.
Regarding Musk's claims of her love for musicals and fashion as a child, Wilson dismissed them as fabrications, stating that four-year-olds are not aware of such concepts. She asserted that her father simply was not present during her childhood and that the little time he spent with her was marked by relentless harassment for her femininity and queerness. Wilson emphasized that she is legally recognized as female, despite Musk's refusal to acknowledge her gender identity.
Wilson's comments on her Threads account quickly gained attention, with her follower count surging into the thousands. Many expressed support for her in the face of Musk's comments, highlighting the importance of not letting his words affect her. Wilson herself responded humorously, stating that she found Musk's podcast remarks about her "dead" status and lack of reading comprehension both ridiculous and comical.
As of now, Musk has not responded to his daughter's candid remarks. Instead, he has shared video footage from the 1992 Olympics opening ceremony on X and retweeted an AI-generated image of himself in Roman military armor, accompanied by a caption calling for a fight against the "anti-human woke mind virus."
This ongoing family feud continues to unfold, capturing public attention and igniting discussions surrounding acceptance, gender identity, and the responsibilities of parents. Vivian Wilson's decision to address and debunk her father's claims marks a significant step in reclaiming her narrative and asserting her own truth in the face of controversy.
