Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, in first interview, says he berated her for being queer as a child

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.
Worst, he runs a platform intentionally marketed to those who hate.
Wilson said that, when she was a child, Musk would harass her for exhibiting feminine traits and pressure her to appear more masculine, including by pushing her to deepen her voice as early as elementary school.
“I was in fourth grade. We went on this road trip that I didn’t know was actually just an advertisement for one of the cars — I don’t remember which one — and he was constantly yelling at me viciously because my voice was too high,” she said. “It was cruel.”
What a colossal piece of shit.
Also, she is really beautiful. She clearly got her mom's half of the physical appearance genes.
Hopefully not the fathers hairline
Hair is tricky, but she has a few things working for her. Musk clearly has male pattern baldness, but that is typically carried on the X chromosome, so you get it from your mom instead of your dad. Testosterone is also a major contributor to hair loss, so HRT will really help with any hair lose in the future as well.
She seems to have transitioned young enough that it’s unlikely a concern. At least unless her cis sisters also have it as a concern
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.
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.

“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form”
Anti-trans bigots with trans kids, this is your future.
Put into the court record when she didn't have to say so to fulfill any legal requirement. She just hates her father, one of the richest men in the world, so much that she wanted a permanent legal record of her disowning him.
She could have just waited around until he died and hoped she got some inheritance, but she hates him that much. That shows what an absolute monster of a father he was.
“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
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.
He claims to have autism. As far as we know, he's never been evaluated. He just uses it as an excuse.
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.
and while they still can’t accept it
He's had four years to come around and he hasn't yet. Because he's a bigot. There is nothing redeemable here. He didn't endorse the gender-affirming care, he signed the papers to get her to go away.
But more importantly, he is insulting his daughter and lying about her on an international platform.
There is no scenario where this is an acceptable way to talk about your child. Not to Jordan Peterson on Twitter and also not to your next-door neighbor.
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.
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.
