Elon Musk’s Daughter Vivian Slams Dad After ‘Woke Mind Virus’ Comments
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead.”
Besides misgendering his child by using ‘he/him’ pronouns instead of ‘she/her,’ he also referred to Vivian by her deadname, which is often seen as a form of overt aggression or microaggression. The intentional refusal to affirm a transgender person’s identity can harm a person’s mental health, according to child and adolescent psychiatrist Jason Lambrese, MD.
“It can remind them of that period in their lives before they could take steps to affirm who they are. Deadnaming might bring them back into those more negative times in their lives. And often, that gender dysphoria (distress that comes from one’s sex assigned at birth not lining up with their true gender identity) can be associated with depression and anxiety.”
But Musk doesn’t believe in any of the harm he may partake in and went on to say that the experience set him on a mission.
“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that,” Musk said. “And we’re making some progress.” He recently made headlines by threatening to move X and SpaceX headquarters from California to Texas because of a new California policy prohibiting school districts from requiring teachers to inform parents if a child wants to be identified by a different gender.
Wilson was legally granted her name and gender change at age 18 at the Santa Monica courthouse in California on June 22, 2022.
She said the name change was due to gender identity and an apparent dislike of Musk, according to a petition filed on April 18, 2022, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form,” Wilson wrote in the petition.
