Elon Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson says her time in the United States might soon be coming to an end, given the bleak future she sees for transgender Americans due to Donald Trump’s reelection with her own father’s support.
“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me,” Wilson wrote Wednesday on Threads. “I don’t see my future being in the United States. 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.”
Wilson legally changed her name in 2022 and sought gender-affirming care. Her billionaire father blamed “the woke mind virus” for her decision and said that she is “dead” to him.
“Watching the grown members of my ex-‘family’ in the media/twitter-sphere recently makes me glad that I didn’t develop my genetic pre-disposition of apparently not having a fucking spine,” Wilson wrote Thursday on Threads about her pro-Trump relatives. “That’s all.”
The Human Rights Campaign reported last year that 33 trans people were killed in an “epidemic of violence” in the U.S. between November 2022 and November 2023.
Wilson also denounced people who are blaming minorities — such as Black and Latino voters — or third-party supporters for Trump’s victory.
“‘Blame this demographic, blame that demographic,’” Wilson wrote Wednesday on Threads. “No. Blame the fucking politicians and oligarchs who caused this to happen. Direct your anger towards them.”
Wilson’s billionaire father poured $75 million into a pro-Trump PAC and is now staffing “an unregulated entity” tasked with slashing any government agency he deems inefficient, Axios reported Thursday.
With the most popular social media platform under Musk’s purview, ambitions to dominate internet access — and a potential role in the same government meant to regulate his private businesses — he has arguably gained more influence than ever before.
Wilson has notably avoided using Musk’s social media platform to post her own remarks.
