Vivian Wilson, 20, posted on X's arch vial site Threads, owned by Mark Zuckerberg 's Meta , in response to comments made by her father earlier this week.
For some time, Elon Musk has been waging a one-man crusade against what he calls the 'woke mind virus' that is encouraging many young people to change gender.
Musk said he had known from a young age that she was gay, saying she 'would pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell it was fabulous' and loved musicals He went on to say that Vivian, who has legally changed her name and gender, was 'not a girl'. Predictably, the outspoken billionaire's pronouncements sparked uproar but it was Vivian's ripostes that were most damning.
'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. It was cruel,' she hit back.She also disputed Musk's claims that he was unaware of the implications of allowing her to undergo gender-affirming treatment in 2020, when she was 16 and suffering from gender dysphoria.
'He was not by any means tricked. He knew the full side effects,' she recalled. She took puberty blockers and then switched to hormone replacement therapy, treatments that she said 'definitely allowed me to thrive'. Musk has yet to comment on Vivian's claims, but by any measure their relationship has long been strained. Vivian and twin brother Griffin were born in California in 2004, four years after the billionaire's marriage to his university sweetheart, the Canadian author, Justine Wilson.
In an excerpt from author Walter Isaacson's 2023 biography of the tech billionaire, Musk blames the progressive school for his daughter's political views. According to a petition filed two months previously in Los Angeles Superior Court, Vivian cited her dislike of her father as a motivating factor in adopting her mother's maiden name.
He has joined growing protests against a new law in California that bars schools from having policies that require them to notify parents if their child asks to change their gender identification. 'But that is what this legislation enables – with potentially devastating consequences for children too young to fully comprehend them.
