Elon Musk‘s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson has responded to her “pathetic man-𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥” father after he claimed she “died”.

On Saturday (March 22), the SpaceX owner responded to a comment from a fan on X/Twitter concerning Vivian, who came out as transgender in 2020. “My son, Xavier died,” he wrote. “He was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed by the woke mind virus. Now, the woke mind virus will die.”

His recent comments echo those he made last year, when in an interview with Jordan Peterson, he repeatedly deadnamed and misgendered Wilson.

Musk claimed in their discussion that he had been “tricked” into signing the paperwork to allow Vivian to use puberty blockers, which he described as “actually just sterilisation drugs”. He added that his “son” had been “𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed” by the “woke mind virus” and that he had “lost his son”.

Those comments prompted Musk’s former partner Grimes to comment out in support of Wilson, with the ‘Oblivion’ artist saying: “I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian.”

As for the more recent comments made by Musk, Wilson shared a response on Instagram in the form of a video that included screenshots of Musk’s post, which are followed by her lip-syncing to an infamous quote from RuPaul’s Drag Race: “I look pretty good for a dead bitch.”

Having recently opened up about their relationship to Teen Vogue, she said she barely thinks about her father, joking: “The only thing that gets to live free in my mind is drag queens.”

Elsewhere in the interview, she called Musk a “pathetic man-𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥” and revealed they hadn’t spoken in five years: “That was almost half a decade ago at this point. Thank God.”

Meanwhile, earlier this year, she responded to accusations that her father made a Nazi-like gesture at Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The incident took place on January 20, when  President-elect  Trump was sworn into the White House for the second time. During the inauguration ceremonies, the tech billionaire  addressed the crowd, saying: “I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” before slapping his chest with his right hand and extending his arm upwards with the palm facing down. He then turned around to the crowd members behind the podium and repeated the gesture.

“I’m just gonna say let’s call a spade a fucking spade,” she wrote on Instagram’s Threads platform on Tuesday (21). “Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade.”

She did not name Musk in any of the updates but heavily hinted that she was alluding to the incident at the Capitol One Arena. Wilson then shared a second update, seemingly hitting back at claims that the gesture could be explained because of his “autism”.

“I don’t know why ya’ll are reacting with such vigour, I’m clearly only talking about card suits,” she quipped. “I mean I have ADHD and this was CLEARLY just an accident that people happened to interpret to mean something other than just card suits.

Her final update read: “For those who can read between the lines, do y’all understand how fucking easy this is to do? Plausible deniability honey. Just saying.”

Wilson isn’t the only one to speak out against Musk following the gesture, since Monday,  Grimes – the musician who was previously in a relationship with Musk and shares multiple 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with him – distanced herself from him online, My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero called him out online, and Green Day also took aim at the billionaire while on stage in South Africa, changing the lyrics to ‘American Idiot’ to take a jab at him.

More recently, he came under fire for amplifying claims that Netflix’s Adolescence was based on the Southport murderer, despite its filming beginning before the tragedy occurred.
