Tech billionaire Elon Musk has reacted to the plans of his 20-year-old estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson to leave the United States in the wake of Donald Trump’s recent election victory.
TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reports that Wilson had made the announcement on Threads, citing discomfort with the political climate under Trump’s return to office.
“The direction this country is heading under the current political leadership makes me uneasy,” she wrote, according to a report by the UK’s Daily Mail.
“I don’t see my future in the United States.
“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. Even if he’s only in office for four years, even if anti-trans regulations don’t materialise, the people who voted for this aren’t going anywhere anytime soon,” she wrote.
Reacting to the news via the microblogging platform X formerly Twitter, Elon Musk in response to a user, reiterated his previous sentiments stating: “The woke mind virus killed my son.”
The 20-year-old Wilson was born to Musk and his first wife, Justine Wilson in 2004. Originally named Xavier, she came out as transgender in April 2022 and requested to legally change her gender and name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, adopting her mother’s maiden name.
Musk, who has 12 children from three different relationships, has openly criticised Wilson, labelling her a “communist” with an anti-wealth stance. Musk, who once claimed that Vivian was “kill3d by the woke mind virus,” said that he was “tricked” into signing documents allowing her to start puberty blockers, alleging that he was unaware of the situation’s depth amid COVID-19 disruptions.
Wilson who has been estranged from her father since 2022, accused him of transphobia, “cruelty,” and “serial” cheating. She said Musk would berate her for being more in touch with femininity as a child, urging her to make her voice deeper.
