Vivian Jenna Wilson tells Teen Vogue she feels obliged to take stand for trans rights as Trump attacks community

Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, accused her father of giving a “definitely Nazi salute” at two rallies in January, calling his actions “fucking cringe.”

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trump’s administration.

    You don’t, but her opinion is useless when all experts already agree that’s what it was.

    It’s like asking actors their political opinion. Who gives a fuck what they think? They’re actors, not political analysts.

      And yet, here you are with your opinion that no one asked for. Are you seeing how this works yet?

        So you’re saying my opinion is just as important as hers, she gets to share hers, I get to share mine, will The Guardian write an article about my opinion now? Are you seeing how this works yet?

          No, I’m saying she is relevant to the story. You aren’t. Yet here you are trying to erase her from it, while adding yourself to it- via the comments.

          Yell all you want. She’s still going to have her say in legitimate news articles, while you’re relegated to ranting about it in forums located in the far reaches of the internet.

            Musk was absent from her life, the only reason people talk about her is because she’s her daughter even though she doesn’t know him any better than you and me.

            And again, her opinion on what constitutes a Nazi salute or not is irrelevant, just like a hockey player’s opinion on climate change isn’t.
