Elon Musk blames elite LA school for brainwashing ‘communist’ trans daughter into hating him
Elon Musk believes his “communist” daughter severed ties with her billionaire father because she was brainwashed by her elite school.
Elon Musk believes his “communist” transgender daughter severed ties with her billionaire father because she was brainwashed into “thinking that anyone rich is evil” at the ritzy California school he sent her to.
The chief executive of X, formerly known as Twitter, washed his hands of any responsibility for the recent rift between himself and 19-year-old Vivian Jenna Wilson — instead blaming the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica for infecting her with the “woke mind virus”, the NY Post reports.
Wilson’s transition was part of a domino effect that led to Musk buying the social media app as part of his mission to stamp out wokeness, according to an excerpt of the upcoming biography Elon Musk that was published in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
The SpaceX founder told author Walter Isaacson that he was initially “generally sanguine” with his child’s decision until in April 2022 when Wilson “became a fervent Marxist and broke off all relations with him”, the except reveals.
That year, Wilson was granted a petition to change her gender, as well as her name, which she hoped would demolish any connection between herself and her biological father.
“She went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil,” said Musk, whose net worth is estimated at $US257.5 billion ($397 billion).
Musk added that the rift pained him more than when he suffered the infant death of his firstborn child Nevada.
“I’ve made many overtures, but she doesn’t want to spend time with me,” he said.
The tech mogul said he “partly” blames Wilson’s dramatic changeup on Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences, which boasts various A-list graduates including Jack Black, Maya Rudolph and Zooey Deschanel among its alumni.
Tuition for the alleged “communist” K-12 school, ironically, costs up to $US50,000 ($77,000) per student annually.
“Twitter, he felt, had become infected by a similar mindset that suppressed right-wing and anti-Establishment voices,” Isaacson wrote.
The story of the familial split was peppered between tales of his April 2022 offer to buy Twitter for $US44 billion ($68 billion) — identifying himself as the “fire-breathing dragon” the channel needed to succeed.
Musk went on to buy the social media company six months later in what he called a bid to defend free speech.
Though the statements were not the first time Musk blamed higher learning institutions for the rift between himself and his daughter, it is the first time he pointed to a specific school.
In October, the Telsa CEO said “neo-Marxists” have taken over elite schools and liberal universities to teach their students to despise wealthy individuals.
A representative for Crossroads did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
