Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, has been publicly confronting her father over his controversial statements and actions regarding transgender issues. In a recent interview, Musk claimed that he had been “tricked” into supporting her gender-affirming care during the COVID-19 pandemic and expressed that he had “lost his son” due to her transition.

Wilson, now 20 years old, responded assertively to these remarks. She clarified that she is an adult and emphasized her right to make her own decisions regarding her identity and health. Wilson also criticized Musk for his lack of presence and support during her childhood, stating that he was rarely involved in her life and often harassed her for her femininity and queerness.

In addition to her public statements, Wilson has taken steps to distance herself from her father. In 2022, she legally changed her name and gender, citing that she no longer wished to be related to her biological father in any way. She has also become an advocate for transgender rights and has been vocal about her experiences, aiming to raise awareness and foster understanding.

The ongoing public exchange between Musk and Wilson highlights the complex dynamics of family relationships amidst differing views on gender identity and expression. It also underscores the broader societal debates surrounding transgender rights and the importance of support and acceptance for individuals undergoing gender transitions.
