Elon Musk's estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has publicly disowned him following his controversial claims about her.
Musk, the world’s richest man, recently alleged in an interview that Wilson was "killed" by a "woke mind virus" and that he had been tricked into signing documents for her during the pandemic. He referred to gender-reassignment surgery as "child mutilation and sterilisation".
Wilson responded in a lengthy thread on Threads, the Meta-owned rival to Musk's platform X, refuting his statements.
She said, "I disowned him, not the other way around." Wilson also shared a screenshot of an online post by Musk claiming she was born "gay and slightly autistic", which he argued contributed to her gender dysphoria.
Musk wrote, "I knew that from when he was about 4 years old and he would pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was 'fabulous!', as well as his love of musicals & theatre. But he was not a girl."
Wilson shot back, "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 fu**ing story." She denied ever picking jackets for Musk or using the word "fabulous" at the age of four.
"I was most certainly not calling them "fabulous" 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... I was four," she added.
Wilson claimed Musk was absent during her childhood, stating, "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. Obviously he can't say that, so I've been reduced to a happy little stereotype f*g-ing along to use at his discretion. I think that says a lot about how he views queer people and children in general."
Addressing her gender, Wilson clarified, "I'm legally recognised as a woman in the state of California and I don't concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me. Obviously Elon can't say the same because in a ketamine-fuelled 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."
Earlier this month, Musk discussed Wilson in an interview with conservative commentator Jordan Peterson, accusing those promoting gender-affirming care of targeting children "who are far below the age of consent." He claimed, "I was tricked into doing this. I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason they call it 'deadnaming' is because your son is dead." Musk said this experience motivated him to combat the "woke mind virus," stating, "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we're making some progress."
Vivian Jenna Wilson legally changed her name and gender at the age of 18 and asserted that she does not wish to be related to Musk, her biological father. Her mother, Justine Wilson, divorced Musk in 2008.
