Grimes Supports Elon Musk’s Transgender Daughter Amidst His Controversial Comments
In a recent turn of events, Grimes has publicly voiced her support for her ex-partner Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, following Musk’s controversial remarks about Vivian’s transition. The Tesla CEO’s comments have sparked significant media attention and public debate.
Elon Musk, in a recent interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson on the conservative platform Daily Wire, made controversial statements regarding his daughter Vivian’s gender identity.
He claimed that his daughter was “killed by the woke mind virus” and that he was “essentially tricked into signing documents” allowing her to undergo gender-affirming treatment. He expressed that he felt pressured into making this decision under the threat that Vivian might commit suicide if denied the care.
“I lost my son. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason,” Musk said, referring to the practice of using a transgender person’s birth name instead of their chosen name.
Vivian, now 20, responded strongly to her father’s comments in an interview with NBC News.
Emphasizing her autonomy, she stated, “I am an adult. I am 20 years old. I am not a child. My life should be defined by my own choices.”
She further elaborated on her estranged relationship with Musk, describing him as uncaring and narcissistic, often absent during her childhood and quick to anger when present.
Vivian also took to the social media platform Threads to address and refute her father’s claims.
She humorously countered Musk’s assertion of her being “killed,” stating, “I look pretty good for a dead bitch.”
She criticized Musk’s misrepresentations of her interests and personality, pointing out that he had little understanding of her due to his absence during her formative years.
Grimes, who shares three children with Musk, has stepped forward in support of Vivian. In a post on X, Grimes expressed her unwavering love and pride for Vivian.
“I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian,” she wrote, making her stance clear amidst the controversy.
This public support from Grimes comes despite her complicated relationship with Musk, which includes an ongoing custody battle over their children.
Grimes has previously discussed Musk’s views on transgender people, attempting to understand his perspective. However, her recent actions underscore her commitment to supporting Vivian’s identity and choices.
The fallout between Elon Musk and his daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson highlights the complexities and sensitivities surrounding transgender identities within families.
