Vivian Jenna Wilson, the transgender daughter of Elon Musk, says she is leaving the U.S. over Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States,” she said in a Threads post on Wednesday. “Even if he’s only in office for 4 years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Twenty-year-old Wilson is estranged from her father, who poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign and has the ear of the president-elect.
Trump has said he would restrict gender-affirming care, bar transgender women from women’s sports teams and keep transgender people from using facilities that align with their gender identity as president.
Musk said in a July interview that Wilson was “killed by the woke mind virus,” and that he had been “tricked” into authorizing gender-affirming care for her. In response to Musk’s comments, Wilson described her father as “cold,” “very quick to anger” and “narcissistic” in an interview with NBC News.
