“Tragic Mental Illness”: Elon Musk’s Comment About Daughter Vivian Sparks Mass Outrage Online

This article covers a heated online clash between Elon Musk and California Governor Gavin Newsom, sparked when Newsom’s press office mocked Musk by referencing his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson (photo).

In response, Musk referred to Vivian as his “son” and described her identity as the result of a “tragic mental illness” caused by what he calls the “woke mind virus.” His wording drew widespread backlash, with many criticizing him for misgendering his daughter and publicly framing her transition as pathology.

The dispute reignited public attention on Musk and Wilson’s long‑strained relationship, including her legal name change, her efforts to distance herself from him, and her criticisms of his politics.

Recent litigation and rulings across the United States are doing more than restricting access to services for transgender and gender diverse individuals; they are actively reengineering administrative and legal systems to undermine privacy and expose sensitive personal data.
