Elon Musk‘s trans daughter has shared a blistering response to claims made by her dad that he was ‘tricked’ by the ‘woke mind virus’ into allowing her to transition.
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.
In an interview, Musk said that he was tricked into signing away his son Xavier, using Wilson’s former name, to allow her to go on puberty blockers.
Referring to Wilson with male pronouns and by her birth name, Musk claimed that his ‘son’ had been ‘killed by the woke mind virus’.
Wilson pushed back on this on Thursday, challenging a tweet from her father in which he claimed that she was born ‘gay and slightly autistic’.

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.
Wilson said: ‘There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious ‘slightly autistic’ tweet.
‘This is gonna be a bit so just bare with me. This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from.
Wilson wrote that she had never loved musicals or theatre and also hit back at his claims about picking out clothes for her father.
She said: ‘I never picked out jackets for him to wear and I was most certainly not calling them ‘fabulous’ because literally what the f***.
‘I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because once again I would like to reiterate…I was four.
‘Like this is so obvious I don’t even think it warrants explanation but apparently people believe this nonsense so here I am.’
Wilson added her father has made up these claims because he wasn’t around her as a child.
She claims that Musk would relentlessly harass her for her ‘femininity and queerness’.

Vivian also added that she was legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and that her father was ‘determined for attention and validation’.
In a scathing ending, she wrote: ‘He’s desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him. Go touch some f****** grass.’
In a separate video she said she was doing well and that she had been formulating a response to her father.
The father and daughter have long had a contentious relationship, with Musk having called her a ‘communist’ who thinks ‘anyone rich is evil’.
In his interview this week, Musk called what happened to him and his family ‘evil’, saying: ‘I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys.
‘This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. I was told Xavier might commit suicide.’
When asked about gender dysphoria, he added: ‘It’s incredibly evil and I agree with you that the people that are promoting this should go to prison.

‘I was tricked into doing this. It wasn’t explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs.
‘I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.’
Deadnaming is what transgender people typically refer to others calling them by the name they went by before they began to transition.
Musk said that his right-wing awakening has been spurred on by this process and the trickery he claims was played upon him.
‘I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that and we’re making some progress,’ he said.
The South African billionaire has fathered a reported 12 children over last 22 years and has spoken publicly about his view that the world is underpopulated.

Elon Musk family continues to grow, 22 years after his first wife, Justine Wilson, gave birth to his first children
He had his kids with three different women, Canadian author Justine Wilson, the mother of Vivian, musician Grimes and his employee, Shivon Zilis. His youngest child, with Zilis, was born in 2024.
Wilson legally changed her gender to female and her name from ‘Xavier’ to Vivian Jenna Wilson in 2022, while revealing in court filings she ‘no longer wishes to be related’ to Musk ‘in any way’.
Vivian filed the petition just three days after her 18th birthday, though the court documents weren’t made public until the day after Fathers Day.
In a tweet the night her daughter’s petition was granter, mother Justine said: ”I had a weird childhood,’ my 18 year old said to me.’
‘I can’t believe I’m as normal-seeming as I am.’ ‘I said, ‘I’m very proud of you.’ ‘I’m proud of myself!”
Meanwhile, on Fathers Day, Musk tweeted prior to the revelation of her filings: ‘I love all my kids so much.’
A private woman, she was not spotted in public until several months after her petition was granted.
Vivian reportedly came out as transgender via text to her aunt when she was 16, but implored her to keep her gender identity from her father: ‘Hey, I’m transgender, and my name is now Jenna. Don’t tell my dad.’
Musk said during an interview with the FT in 2020 that while his relationship with his daughter ‘may change… I have very good relationships with all the others [children].’
‘Can’t win them all,’ he added.
More recently, he told his biographer that his attempts at winning her over have not been successful.
