Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and X (formerly Twitter), has been facing criticism from various sources, including actor Marlon Wayans, for his alleged disowning of his transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson.

Wayans, a father of a trans child himself, expressed his disapproval of Musk’s comments about his daughter during an episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast. Wayans highlighted that Musk’s treatment of his daughter was unacceptable, stating, “You don’t treat them babies like that, you don’t disown your baby.” He emphasized the importance of unconditional love and acceptance, sharing his own journey of accepting his child’s transition and encouraging others to follow suit.

Musk’s daughter, Vivian, legally changed her name and gender last year and disassociated herself from her father, citing his views and behavior as the reason. Musk responded with a joke, claiming she was “killed by the woke-mind virus,” adding fuel to the fire of criticism he’s been facing.

While Musk has been embroiled in controversies over his political stances and other personal issues, his treatment of his transgender daughter seems to have struck a chord with many, particularly those who have experienced similar challenges within their own families. Marlon Wayans’s public response further highlights the ongoing debate about acceptance and understanding within the LGBTQ+ community.
