Elon Musk’s trans daughter Vivian Wilson has hit back against her father’s recent comments about her identity, prompting support from Musk’s ex-partner Grimes.

Furthermore, he added that his “son” had been “killed” by the “woke mind virus” and that he had “lost his son”. Wilson has responded to the comments, challenging Musk’s accusations and claiming that she disowned him rather than the other way around.
