Elon Musk’s daughter calls him ‘absent father’
Want to do some math? Here’s the thing: There are 24 hours in a day, and even the most superhuman of us needs to get a few hours of sleep. Elon Musk, unless he has figured out how to clone himself, is just one person. He has at least 12 children with multiple women. His first child tragically died as an infant, and two of his offspring are now adults, but he has six children under the age of five. He also runs six companies and oversees More than 130 thousand people All over the world, he spends a huge amount of his life tweeting. Given this busy existence, how does the billionaire spend any significant time with his children?
The short answer is: No, no. Basic math should tell you that — but Musk’s own daughter told us so, too. On Thursday, Vivian Wilson, the billionaire’s 20-year-old transgender daughter, painted a very unflattering picture of Musk as a Father on strings(Threads is Meta’s version of Twitter.) Wilson said her father was never around when she was growing up and when he was around, he would tease her relentlessly about her “femininity and her homosexuality.” The 20-year-old, whose mother, Justine Wilson, separated from Musk in 2008, spoke about those comments in an interview with NBC News where she described her father as “indifferent and narcissistic.”
Wilson, who legally dropped Musk’s name in 2022She has largely stayed out of the public eye until now. But she spoke out because her father left her no other choice. During her final interview, interview With the right-handed professor and meat excited Jordan PetersonMusk later launched a disturbing attack on his daughter over his anti-trans sentiment. The tech mogul claimed he was “tricked” into allowing his daughter Vivian to receive gender-affirming care when she was 16. He then called gender-affirming care “child mutilation” and gave his daughter a pseudonym.
“So my son… died. The Awakened Mind Virus killed him,” Musk told Peterson. That would be a terrible thing to say under any circumstances, but it’s even more terrible considering Musk has already suffered the death of a child: His firstborn, Nevada, died at just 10 weeks of sudden infant death syndrome.
Musk didn’t stop there. After Peterson’s interview, he jumped on X, where he “told” his 191 million followers that for him “My daughter was born gay and a little bit autistic, two traits that contribute to gender dysphoria,” he said. He added that he knew Wilson was gay because she loved musicals when she was four and would pick out sweaters for him and call them “cool.” All hallmarks of gayness, of course! “He wasn’t a girl,” Musk concluded.
Wilson then responded to Threads that the stories about the clothes and the musicals were fabricated. “This whole thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for it. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he just wasn’t there.” Wilson said“He turned into a happy little model,” she continued. “I think that says a lot about his view of gay people and kids in general.”
Sure, that’s true — though it doesn’t say much we didn’t already know. Musk, who controls a hugely influential media platform, has a lot of documentation. date From promotion anti transgender He also loves to share his parenting advice with the world. One of the billionaire’s favorite talking points is that there’s a fertility crisis and everyone needs to have more kids. He’s more puzzled about how people who don’t have billions of dollars in the bank can afford to raise all these kids — perhaps because he doesn’t care about the kids themselves, he’s just interested in producing more stuff for capitalism to use.
This obsession with having children and apparent disdain for child care is widespread on the right. Republicans want to force women to give birth but seem to care nothing about the well-being of those babies after they emerge from the womb. There is a wealth of studies showing that states with the strictest abortion laws have the Weakest support for mother.
You know what else this episode says a lot? How low society’s expectations of fathers are. It really pisses me off that so many people don’t seem to care that Musk keeps going out of his way to have more children with whom he spends so little time. Can you imagine if he were a woman? He’d be constantly attacked for not being there for his kids. He’d be constantly criticized for being a bad mother. People always expect women to put their children first. While things are slowly changing, society has much lower standards for fathers. All they have to do is change diapers every now and then and people are ready to crown them Father of the Year.
