In an interview with NBC News last July following her Threads takedown of him, Wilson explained that Musk was an absent father who berated her for things like speaking with a high-pitched voice.
"He was cold," she said. "He's very quick to anger. He is uncaring and narcissistic."
Wilson isn't the only person in Musk's life to stand up to him. Her mother, Musk's ex-wife Justine, wrote an essay for Marie Claire in 2010 detailing their divorce. In the story, she said she repeatedly had to remind Musk that she was not his employee. She recounted that he'd respond: "If you were my employee, I would fire you."
Clearly, transgender youth are not the villains that the right has made them out to be. These teenagers and young adults are trying to live their lives, just like everyone else their age: applying to colleges, hanging out with friends and obsessing over their passions. The Republican Party wants you to think that these youth are actively harming America with "radical gender ideology." I think a lot of them are just trying to pass calculus.
The fact that Musk seems incapable of loving his trans daughter for who she is says a lot. A parent's love should be unconditional; I have learned through my own coming out experience that even if parents don't always get it right, their vocal support makes a world of difference.
Musk has a lot of stuff wrong with him. He is kind of laser focused on making money. He's probably on the spectrum somewhere, honestly. Probably autistic. Which makes it all the more ironic that he has been one of Trump's Sycophants.
