Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, has publicly criticized her father, accusing him of being a “cold” and “cruel” dad who berated her for displaying feminine traits during her upbringing. This comes after Musk’s remarks about losing his son to the “woke mind virus.”
In a phone interview with NBC News, Wilson stated, “I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged. Which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
Musk has claimed he was “tricked” into consenting to puberty blockers for his child and believes that the “woke mind virus” has figuratively “killed” his son.
Wilson described Musk as an absent father who harassed her for her femininity, particularly recalling a road trip during fourth grade where Musk constantly yelled at her for having a high-pitched voice. “It was cruel,” she said. “He’s very quick to anger. He is uncaring and narcissistic.”
Vivian Jenna Wilson, formerly known as Xavier Musk, recently transitioned and has expressed a desire to sever ties with her father, the world’s richest man. Musk first discussed his feelings about losing Wilson in an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson on the Daily Wire, where he described approving trans-related medical treatment as “incredibly evil.”
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead. My son, Xavier, is dead — killed by the woke mind virus,” Musk said, expressing his determination to combat what he calls the “woke mind virus.”
Musk also took to social media, stating that Xavier was “born gay and slightly autistic,” contributing to gender dysphoria. He shared anecdotes from Xavier’s childhood, such as his love for musicals and fashion, asserting, “But he was not a girl.”
Wilson’s decision to change her name and gender legally in 2022 made headlines, with her petition to a California court also requesting to sever any association with her father, stating she “no longer lives with or wishes to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form.”
