Elon is reaching new levels of gross, which is astonishing to me. His narcissism is on full display during his interview with Angry Canadian Kermit- he can only see Vivian’s transition as a personal attack, and the perspective of his ADULT child is not considered at all.

Vivian is incredibly brave for speaking out like this, and god do I wish she didn’t have to be.

Also, hearing an adult man say the phrase “woke mind virus” out loud during a conversation- not even a Twitter post- is absolutely the cringiest thing I have ever heard. How do you not reflexively punch yourself in the face when you say that?

He is a piece of [excrement].

I mean him just getting tired of being in his kids lives is a pattern (he also names them letters and numbers like robots or cattle wtf?). He’s a trash person and she is clearly better off without him.

We can all refer to Musk as "Donor."

I've really gotta hand it to Elon. It took Bill Gates decades to go from plucky entrepreneur to Bond villain in public perception. Jeff Bezos took about a decade and a half. Elon managed it in well under a decade. And, overachiever that he is, he didn't stop at Bond villain. He kept going. He has somehow found a place that makes Bond villains look like temperate, wise, generous, humble, and kind. I look forward to seeing exactly how far he can take his descent into awfulness.

I don't look forward to it. He's only 53 and has an insane amount of money and money carries a ton of power and influence.

We'd all be better off if he just disappeared one day and became a recluse or otherwise gone.

Unfortunately he'll probably be around for the next 4 decades (unless he ODs on something) causing all sorts of fuckery until he dies of old age.

Vivian is cool as hell. I’m sorry she’s being dragged through the mud by her shitty dad, ugh.

It's actually a stretch to call him her dad, more like guy who fucked her mom. He is just beyond trash.

God bless her. I've been so furious since I read about the interview with Musk. What an ignorant transphobic asshole. (sorry for the language.)

When I started seeing him post on X/Twitter, I couldn't believe it. What is his interest in the site, why does he think he can be on the stage? He's a fuckface. He might have the cash to buy it out, but he doesn't rule it. We do.

Musk seems incapable of caring about others on a deep, personal level. There is an empty void where his heart should be. Feel sorry for him that he is incapable of feeling the true love that most parents have for their children. What an empty existence.

You have a take that is useful. So many of us are hardened against that. You speak for people who are actually normal.

Wow, Elon... what an absolute tool of a sperm donor you are, to drag your own offspring into the spotlight like that without her consent. Vivian told you she didn't want you in her life, jackass- why don't you use some of that ill-gotten wealth to buy yourself a fucking clue?

Saying “slightly autistic” is also a whole topic I could rant about. Elon is such a vile person

RRMother's avatar

Exactly. As if being autistic is somehow awful and tragic. As an Austinite here in Texas, I could not possibly hate anyone or anything more than I hate Elon. Go touch some f@king grass on Mars, Elon.

Ms. Wilson, I am in awe of you. Where do you youngsters find the strength, the dignity to call out this lying creepy subhuman? I am 72 years old and it sends a chill through my body that a FATHER would have sat with someone and publicly abused his child in such a devastating way, and you rise above it with such dignity. Young sister, you are an inspiration.

This article and Vivian's comments brought such joy to my day! Elon's trash statements in that interview remind me so much of my own narcissistic transphobic father, and I laughed so hard when I saw the quote in the headline on my phone. Get it, girl!

Elon is the biggest bitch on earth, as far as I can tell. Even Trump seems like a character I can acknowledge by comparison.

Very sad that Musk is slandering his daughter. The bottom line is that our children are our children, regardless of gender. We can choose to celebrate in their authenticity or we can lose them (in a variety of ways). As parents, it is our job to love our children unconditionally, help them to grow into good and authentic adults, and protect them as much as possible from people who would deny them their existences! I am the mother of a transgender man and a queer man. I am very happy that they are living their most authentic selves!
