Elon Musk Considers Trans Daughter 'Dead'; People Who Helped Her Transition Are 'Incredibly Evil'
Elon Musk has claimed that his transgender daughter was "killed" by the "woke mind virus."
The Tesla CEO opened up about his estranged child Vivian Jenna Wilson -- who legally changed her name and gender in 2022 -- during a recent interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson on the Daily Wire.
Referring to Vivian by her deadname, Musk said his now-20-year-old child underwent gender-affirming care procedures during the pandemic.
But the billionaire alleged that he was "essentially tricked" into signing off on these procedures and was told that his daughter might take her own life if she did not receive the treatments.
"It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier, before I had really any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, and so there was a lot of confusion. I was told Xavier might commit suicide," Musk told the psychologist and conservative commentator.
"I was tricked into doing this," he claimed. "I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason they call it 'deadnaming' is because your son is dead."
Musk went on to dub those who help children transition as "incredibly evil" individuals who deserve jail time.
The SpaceX founder claimed that he's since been trying to "destroy the woke mind virus" and has made "some progress" in his mission.
Vivian is one of the five living children Musk shares with his ex-wife Justine, to whom he was married from 2000 to 2008. Their first child died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) just weeks after he was born in 2002.
The X owner also shares three kids with Grimes: X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus.
Musk and Neuralink director Shivon Zilis also welcomed twins in 2021 and a third child this year.
In 2022, a judge granted the request of Musk's child to legally change her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson and her gender to female.
Vivian explained in legal documents that she sought the changes because of "gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."
Musk has repeatedly criticized the use of preferred pronouns for transgender and nonbinary people.
In 2020, the billionaire wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Pronouns suck."
Musk followed this up months later with a tweet that read: "I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare."
