Elon Musk spoke to far-right podcaster Jordan Peterson about his 20-year-old trans daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson, claiming that he was ‘tricked’ into giving her gender-affirming care, and that she was ‘killed by the woke mind virus.’ This is not OK.
Vivian Wilson, who uses “she/her” pronouns, filed to change names in 2022, according to various reports.
Wilson reportedly said her decision to drop Musk as her last name was partly due to not wanting to “live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
“It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier,” he said.
“This is before I had any understanding of what was going on. COVID was going on, so there was a lot of confusion and I was told Xavier might commit suicide.”
Musk went on to describe deadnaming, the practice of referring to a transgender person by their name given at birth. The term earned its name for a specific reason, he said.
