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.”
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.
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.
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.
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
They are talking about suicide.
The guy plans everything, has mild autism and daughter didn’t go according to his plans, so now he’s a whiny baby.
“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.”
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.
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.
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.
