Elon Musk’s ex Grimes backs his daughter in trans fallout

The fallout from Elon Musk’s comments that his trans daughter was “killed” buy woke has escalated with Grimes now chiming in.

Grimes has got Vivian’s back.

The singer came to the defence of her ex Elon Musk’s 20-year-old transgender daughter on Thursday with a pointed social media post.

“I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian,” Grimes, 36, wrote via Twitter/X, Mr Musk’s own social media platform.

The artist’s statement came three days after Mr Musk, 53, went viral for claiming his and his ex-wife Justine Wilson’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, was “killed by the woke-mind virus”.

The Tesla founder, who used his estranged child’s former male name during a conversation with Dr Jordan Peterson, alleged he was “essentially tricked into signing documents” for Vivian’s gender reassignment surgery, reported the New York Post’s Page Six column.

“There was a lot of confusion,” Mr Musk said in the Daily Wire interview on Monday, recalling being told Vivian “might commit suicide” if she did not undergo the procedure.

Elsewhere in the Q&A, Musk “vowed to destroy the woke-mind virus” and claimed to be “making progress” in that area.

Vivian clapped back on Thursday, notably writing her response via Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads platform instead of X, which her dad bought in 2022.

“I look pretty good for a dead bitch,” she wrote.

Vivian went on to dismantle specific “fake” claims Mr Musk made, from her “pick[ing] out clothes” for him at age four to being obsessed with musical theatre.

She also clarified that she was the one to “disown him,” saying, “He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness”.

“As for if I’m not a woman … sure, Jan. Whatever you say. I’m legally recognised as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me.”

Mr Musk revealed he and Vivian were estranged in October 2022, four months after she was granted a name and gender change.

“Can’t win them all,” the 12-time dad told the Financial Times. “I have very good relationships with all the others.”

The former couple were also the parents of son Nevada, who died at 10 weeks old in 2002.

Additionally, Mr Musk shares three children each with Shivon Zilis and Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher.

The songwriter, who dated Mr Musk on and off from 2018 to 2022, gave birth to son X AE A-XII and welcomed daughter Exa via surrogate in 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The duo have not shared details about their third child, Techno.
