In an exclusive interview, Vivian Jenna Wilson said her father’s recent statements, including that she is “not a girl,” inspired her to speak out: “I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
Vivian Jenna Wilson, the transgender daughter of Elon Musk, said Thursday in her first interview that he was an absent father who was cruel to her as a child for being queer and feminine.
Wilson, 20, in an exclusive interview with NBC News, responded to comments Musk made Monday about her and her transgender identity. On social media and in an interview posted online, Musk said she was “not a girl” and was figuratively “dead,” and he alleged that he had been “tricked” into authorizing trans-related medical treatment for her when she was 16.
Wilson said that Musk hadn’t been tricked and that, after initially having hesitated, he knew what he was doing when he agreed to her treatment, which required consent from her parents.
Musk’s recent statements crossed a line, she said.
“I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged,” Wilson said in a phone interview. “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 told Peterson that Wilson’s gender transition has been the motivation for his push into conservative politics.
“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that, and we’re making some progress,” he said. "
My god what a total dumbfuck.
I feel for her so much. Imagine how this feels to have a father like that, who spits on everything you are and then brags about it to millions of people.
She is obviously not a public person and still he drags her and his personal hatred into the public eye of millions.
All while crying about it because you “died from the woke mind virus”.
You know, his still living daughter who he’d still have a fucking relationship with if he didn’t suck ass so much.
He’s less interested in the relationship and more interested in anti-woke martyrdom points.
Yes, he sees his children as people to be groomed to continue, and expand, his legacy. His daughter does not fit in with the idea he has for them. However, he can use exploit her queerness, to play the victim of the woke mob, for his alt-right chudcred.
Worst, he runs a platform intentionally marketed to those who hate.
Remember when wannabe tech geniuses were talking about how liberal Musk was? How Musk claimed to be so liberal? Pepperidge Farm remembers
It’s kinda crazy, for me he went from being entrepreneurial genius, to eccentric genius, to genius but weird, to maybe not a genius but an acumen for business and kind of a dick, to temperamental child with petty grievances against the world, and after the headlines the last couple of weeks, an absolute loser piece of shit that is not worth the air that he breathes.
I mean, he’s always been that last one… It was all the way back in 2019 that he failed to help those kids trapped in that cave, and his ego was so huge and his moral compass so lacking that he lashed out at one of the actual heroes and baslessly called him a “pedo”.
Edit: Here’s a story about it for anyone that missed it.
That’s what broke the illusion for me. Elon tried to make the situation all about him and threw a tantrum when someone dared tell him no.
Yeah thats when he started to turn for me. But in my comment I was thinking the years when he was starting space X, circa early 2010s when most people didn’t know much about him. Sorry I’m old.
Didn’t he say he flipped because of some regulatory ruling? I vaguely remember him making public statement about never voting D again as though he’d vocally supported anything liberal or progressive at all before that.
Vivian seems like a lovely young lady, and I hate that she has to put up with such blatant disrespect from her own father. How one man could be so cruel, so uncaring to his own flesh-and-blood is beyond me.
Easy, when there’s no empathy it applies to anyone and everyone you ‘disagree’ with.

Anti-trans bigots with trans kids, this is your future.

They most certainly do - and appear to have always been. Look at the Hijra or another similar group. Do you really think that of all the billions and billions of humans that have been made that nothing has ever gone slightly differently than usual at around week 9 of pregnancy when biological sex begins to be determined? Really? If you can be born missing a limb or fused to your twin it’s not a stretch of imagination to realise it could be possible to land somewhere in the middle of the two established biological sexes.
So do you want your pronouns to be was/were or… any other prefernces that denote existing in the past tense, cause the Joshua trees are hungry and I want to play with a woodchiper.

Sorry profligate but the Joshua trees are hungry. And you only use is as Joshua tree food.
“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that, and we’re making some progress."
Fucker may as well have said “I vowed to destroy my entire reputation and we’re making some progress.”
And yet millions and millions of people - including many people reading this - are still buying his cars and using his piece of shit website.
Those windmills aren’t going to chase themselves
I’m beginning to think this Musk guy isn’t very nice.
You know, the more I learn about that guy, the more I don’t care for him
same can be said about Hitler
what would you expect from the guy who spent $44bn to run his fan club
What a prick Elon is.
Thats putting it lightly
When Wrabel sings about there being something wrong in the village, this is what’s wrong in the village. Elon Musk and the hateful, ignorant, small-mined people just like him.
The guy plans everything, has mild autism and daughter didn’t go according to his plans, so now he’s a whiny baby.
Autism is not a reason for bigotry.

If this story wasn’t about a billionaire narcissist it would have a different tone.
A father has trouble accepting their child has a wildly different life path then they had anticipated, and while they still can’t accept it they did endorse medical interventions their child needed when push came to shove.
There are some redeemable qualities displayed here, even though the father is still bitter they didn’t stand in the way.
You’re right, he didn’t stand in the way, he’s just going out in public saying horrible things about his own child, and trying to help pass laws that will kill them along with thousands of others.
Kill them?
He is a billionaire he could arrange a hit squad if that was his goal
This is a stupid take. Good fathers understand that their children’s happiness is the only path that matters. Elon Musk is a piece of shit.
I’m not saying he is a “good” father, but I like to look for the good in people. And while he may be a piece of s***, he is a piece of s*** who did the right thing when called upon when it actually mattered.
He did it once. He did a good thing for his flesh-and-blood child ONE TIME. And regretted it so hard, he started pushing far-right values and amplifying fascist dialogue to counteract it for everyone else’s families.
“I like to look for the good in people.” You’re not looking for good, you’re exacavating it from beneath years and hundreds of anecdotes to the contrary.
Whatever he did when she was 16, he’s clearly making all trans people less safe when their life expectancy is already slashed by the social stigma they face.
