Elon Musk’s transgender daughter doesn’t see a ‘future’ in the US after Trump’s win
Vivian Jenna Wilson, the transgender daughter of Elon Musk, says she is leaving the U.S. over Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States,” she said in a Threads post on Wednesday. “Even if he’s only in office for 4 years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Twenty-year-old Wilson is estranged from her father, who poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign and has the ear of the president-elect.
Trump has said he would restrict gender-affirming care, bar transgender women from women’s sports teams and keep transgender people from using facilities that align with their gender identity as president.
Musk said in a July interview that Wilson was “killed by the woke mind virus,” and that he had been “tricked” into authorizing gender-affirming care for her. In response to Musk’s comments, Wilson described her father as “cold,” “very quick to anger” and “narcissistic” in an interview with NBC News.
