Vivian Wilson’s latest clapback at her “pathetic man-child” father is certainly funny — that is, until the feeling of existential dread sinks in.
On Sunday, Elon Musk decided to respond to a post on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter. The post bizarrely defended Musk’s use of a Nazi-like salute while also warning people not to listen to one of the billionaire’s most vocal adversaries — his estranged trans daughter, Wilson.
In response to the tweet — which referred to Wilson as Musk’s “son” — the Tesla CEO stated, yet again, that his “son” was “dead.”
“My son, Xavier, died. He was killed by the woke mind virus,” Musk tweeted. “Now, the woke mind virus will die.”
The language of the tweet is pretty loaded. But one interpretation could be that Musk, who has become a leading adviser to President Donald Trump, desires to silence anyone with liberal values — and dismisses Wilson’s opinions as an unapologetically trans and liberal woman by denying her very existence.
And it seems that Wilson wants to remind her dad that not only is she alive, but she’s not going to shut up.
In a TikTok posted to Wilson’s account on Sunday, she shared a screenshot of Musk’s tweet but made a little tweak. Over the screenshot, Wilson wrote an annotation explaining that Xavier is her “old name.”
The video then transitions to the 20-year-old flipping her long blonde hair while mouthing the words to an audio clip that states, “I look pretty good for a dead bitch.”
What makes Wilson’s post even more defiant is that the audio she’s lip-synching comes from an episode of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars.”
For the caption of her video, Wilson simply wrote, “And you don’t,” and included the #trans hashtag.
Wilson has been on a crusade to discredit her father ever since the unelected billionaire was designated a “special government employee” by the Trump administration and began recklessly running the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
Last week, Wilson described her dad as a “pathetic man-child” to Teen Vogue and called her father’s Nazi-like salute at Trump’s inauguration rally “insane.”
She also called out Musk for downplaying his use of the gesture. In the past Musk has insisted he is “not a Nazi” and accused people who interpret his gesture as a Nazi salute of giving into “coordinated propaganda” — despite the gesture’s strong historical significance.
“What’s relevant about Nazis is, like, are you invading Poland? And if you’re not invading Poland, maybe you’re not,” Musk told Joe Rogan on his podcast early this month. “You have to be committing genocide and starting wars.”
But Wilson told Teen Vogue that’s just a bunch of gaslighting on Musk’s part.
“Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was,” Wilson told Teen Vogue. “That shit was definitely a Nazi salute.”
