Elon Musk's estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, warns trans people are being used as a political scapegoathttps://www.thepinknews.com/2026/09/03/vivian-wilson-desigual-midterms/ 🔗Michael Stevens (3 Sep 2026)
Vivian Jenna Wilson has partnered with Desigual's 'Born to Disobey' campaign and used a new Out interview to urge queer people to organise, build community, and vote ahead of the US midterms this November.
The campaign is framed around questioning traditional rules and claiming freedom. Reflecting on the collaboration, Wilson told Out: "It was such a great time participating in this campaign. The title is very charming and somewhat of an oxymoron, but systems are not fought with campaigns. They are fought with protests, activists, and societal political movements demanding sweeping changes. The midterms are coming up and we are being employed as the scapegoat to make people forget about the economy, the Iran war, and the Epstein files,"
Wilson also spoke about what she sees as escalating political attacks on LGBTQ+ people, particularly trans communities. "The importance of queer people building community and support networks in this time cannot be understated," she said. "With the government attempting to ban gender affirming care for trans people through an already broken and corrupt healthcare system, the repealment of anti-discrimination laws, and the demonization of queer people, we need to be there for each other right now."
She criticised anti-trans rhetoric directly, adding: "Look forward to conservatives shouting incessantly about us like kids whose ball went over the fence. Unfortunately, because they are completely incompetent, they have decided to try and distract everyone with how ookity-spookity trans people are."-------------------------------------------
