Elon Musk’s Transgender Daughter Speaks Out on Father’s Behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Life and Family Dynamics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk\u2019s transgender daughter, has opened up for the first time about her childhood experiences with her father. In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Wilson, now 20, described Musk as an absent and often cruel father, particularly in response to her queer and feminine traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk’s Recent Statements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, Musk made controversial remarks about Wilson, including referring to her as “not a girl” and “figuratively dead.” He claimed he had been deceived into approving trans-related medical treatment for Wilson when she was 16. Wilson refuted these claims, asserting that Musk was fully aware and consenting at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Challenging Relationship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilson detailed a strained relationship with Musk, who she said was rarely involved in her upbringing despite having joint custody. She recalled Musk\u2019s hostile behavior, stating, “He was cold, very quick to anger, uncaring, and narcissistic.” As a child, Wilson experienced Musk’s harassment over her feminine characteristics, including efforts to make her voice sound deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Impact of Musk\u2019s Absence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilson and her twin brother were born to Musk and his first wife, author Justine Musk. Following their divorce in 2008, custody was shared, but Wilson said Musk was seldom present. This absence left their mother and nannies as primary caregivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Public and Media Attention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilson, a college student now, attracted media attention in 2022 when she sought a legal name change and formally disassociated from Musk. Reflecting on that time, she stands by her actions but expressed surprise at the widespread coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musk’s Political and Social Views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Musk’s remarks on Monday came during a video interview with Jordan Peterson, where he expressed his lack of support for Wilson\u2019s gender identity. He described her as \u201cdead, killed by the woke mind virus\u201d and used her deadname, which is deeply offensive to transgender individuals. Musk has also been vocal against transgender rights and policies, advocating for conservative positions and criticizing gender-affirming care for minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Response to Media Portrayals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilson criticized the portrayal of her politics in Walter Isaacson\u2019s biography of Musk, which labeled her views as “radical Marxism.” Wilson clarified she is not a Marxist but does oppose wealth inequality. She also noted Isaacson did not directly contact her for the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilson felt compelled to break her silence after Musk’s recent comments, describing his minimal involvement in her life. She recounted coming out as gay in eighth grade and later as transgender at 16, emphasizing her mother\u2019s support during these times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misrepresentation and Legal Battles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Musk alleged he was “tricked” into authorizing Wilson\u2019s medical treatment, a claim Wilson strongly disputes. She described the process of obtaining consent for gender-affirming treatment, noting Musk read and signed the necessary documents fully informed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advocacy for Trans Rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wilson underscored the lifesaving impact of treatments like puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy for transgender individuals. She criticized the societal pressures and judgments faced by transgender youth seeking medical care, highlighting the difficulties of proving the necessity of their treatments to skeptics like Musk and Peterson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
