Elon Musk may not support his transgender daughter; however, his ex-lover Grimes is on a different page.
The Canadian singer, born Claire Elise Boucher, recently supported the business mogul's transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson. Her love for her ex's child comes after he vowed to end the "woke mind virus."
Grimes is the latest Elon Musk critic, joining a growing number of people displeased by his "my son is dead" claims despite Vivian's existence.
Grimes Defends Elon Musk's Trans Daughter
On Friday, the "Shinigami Eyes" hitmaker sided with Vivian on her X page, writing, "I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian." Although she didn't mention Musk's name, she bashed his thoughts on gender transition in a separate post.
"God gave us hands to build cathedrals,rockets to the moon. It's clearly divine to make use of God's greatest gift to humanity, which is creativity," Grimes stressed, doubling down on her point when a critic argued that transitions went against God's design.
"I am not Christian, but I respect ur Christian God and have Christian friends and sometimes join them for their holidays or heed their teachings," the singer began, adding:
"But I do not hold this world view, and I, too, enjoy changing my body with tattoos and stuff. But if we're made in God's image, and he gave us the capacity to change it, beautify it, make it unique, that is God's image too."
Vivian Called Out Her Famous Father For False Claims
Grimes' support for Vivian comes a day after she called out her father for spreading false claims about her. She vehemently refuted his anti-trans statements, claiming the stories he shared of her childhood were made up.
"I never picked out jackets for him to wear, and I was most certainly not calling them 'fabulous' because literally what the (f-ck). I did not use the word fabulous when I was four because, once again, I would like to reiterate… I was four," Vivian argued, adding:
"[Musk] doesn't know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn't there, and in the little time that he was, I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness."
Wilson, per CNN, has been estranged from her father for two years after petitioning a California court to change her name and gender in 2022. She also stressed that she no longer wished to be linked to Musk "in any way, shape or form."
Vivian Slammed Her Father's 'My Son Is Dead' Remark
Vivian's clap back at Musk continued with a video posted to Threads, where she slammed her father's "my son is dead' claim. She clarified that she wasn't buried six feet under and is "fine … doing well actually."
She also reminded fans about her 2022 petition, noting she is "legally recognized as a woman in the state of California, and I don't concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me."
Vivian ended her retort by advising Musk to "touch some f—king grass." She was forced to bash her father after he went viral for proclaiming her dead in an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson.
Musk Believes His Son Is Dead Following Gender Transition
The drama between Musk and his estranged trans daughter started earlier this week, as reported by The Blast. His conversation with Dr. Peterson made rounds on X, capturing his reflection on Vivian's gender transition.
"I agree with you that people that have been promoting this should go to prison," Musk said about doctors performing sex change procedures on children. He continued:
"I was tricked into doing this. It wasn't explained to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilization drugs. And so I lost my son, essentially."
"They call it deadnaming for a reason. Alright. So the reason it's called deadnaming is because your son is dead. So my son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus," Musk lamented.
Elon Musk Vows To Destroy The 'Woke Mind Virus'
When Dr. Peterson offered his condolences, noting there were others with "demolished kids," Musk declared he would end the cycle after what happened to Xavier. He said, "I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that. And we're making some progress."
Reflecting on his trans daughter's journey, Musk implied it wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been deceived into authorizing the procedure. He was allegedly told Xavier would commit suicide if he didn't transition to Vivian.
Elon Musk's words seemingly capture a father missing his son; however, Vivian's narrative details an estrangement caused by misunderstandings. Will the father and daughter ever settle? Only time can tell.
