Elon Musk's estranged relationship with his transgender daughter exposes a dark trend of familial divide in the age of anti-trans politics

Story by Io Dodds (30 July 2024)

This week, the world's richest person launched an unseemly public attack on his estranged transgender daughter.

In an interview released on Monday, Elon Musk – electric car entrepreneur, US government rocket contractor, and outright owner of the social media service X (formerly Twitter) – claimed that his daughter Vivian Wilson's transition was the trigger for his recent right-wing turn.

"Essentially... my son is dead," said Musk. "Killed by the woke mind virus. So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we're making some progress."

Wilson soon fired back on the rival social network Threads and in an interview with NBC News, saying that Musk was "lying blatantly" about her childhood and of bullying her for expressing femininity. (The Independent has contacted Musk for comment, via his companies.)

For many trans people, these events were sad but not surprising. That is because all too many have witnessed their family members' politics becoming more extreme and more anti-trans since they came out.

Here are the stories of three trans and non-binary people who spoke to The Independent about their experiences. Their identities and certain other details have been blurred, and their answers have been edited for length and clarity...

I can confirm this is true in my experience. It is even more sad when they try to use their religion to justify it.

Abuse is abuse - no matter how you try to justify it or condone it yourself..  guess that is one car brand I am never going to buy.
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

Please Note: Everything I write is my own opinion - People seem to get confused  over this
