Elon Musk's estranged transgender daughter gloats after Tesla bosses stunning fallout with Trump
Elon Musk 's estranged transgender daughter has subtly reacted to her billionaire father's explosive fallout with Donald Trump. Vivian Wilson, 21, rose to notoriety in the last year for publicly bashing her estranged father, who claimed he was 'tricked' into letting her transition at 16, a contention she strenuously denied. Her Tesla CEO father and commander-in-chief went head-to-head Thursday in a war of words after Musk turned on the president with a flurry of insults over his 'big, beautiful Bill.' Wilson addressed the feud on her Instagram Stories with a video of herself laughing captioned, 'I love being proven right.' She said, 'I do not want to comment,' then burst into a fit of laughter. She followed up with post from Threads paired with the song 'Job Application' by Chase Icon and the caption, 'Such beauty in life.' Trump was asked about Musk's criticism when he was supposed to be hosting the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office on Thursday. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will any more, I was surprised,' the president told reporters. The president suggested that Musk was angry - not over the bill ballooning the deficit - but because the Trump administration has pulled back on electric vehicle mandates, which negatively impacted Tesla, and replaced the Musk-approved nominee to lead NASA, which could hinder SpaceX's government contracts. 'And you know, Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles, and they're having a hard time the electric vehicles and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy,' Trump said. 'I know that disturbed him.' Musk posted to X as Trump's Q&A with reporters was ongoing, writing, 'Whatever. 'Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,' he advised. 'In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that [is] both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this!' Musk continued. 'Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.' The spat quickly turned personal with Musk then posting that Trump would have lost the 2024 election had it not been for the world's richest man - him. 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,' Musk claimed. Trump asserted that he had asked Musk to leave his administration and said the billionaire went 'CRAZY!' Wilson addressed the feud on her Instagram Stories with a video of herself laughing and a Threads post saying, 'Such beauty in life' 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' Trump wrote. The president then threatened to pull SpaceX and Tesla's government contracts. 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' Trump wrote. Musk then taunted Trump to act and said, 'This just gets better and better,' he wrote. 'Go ahead, make my day.' The Tesla boss then escalated their fight and claimed that Trump is 'in the Epstein files.' '@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,' Musk wrote. 'Have a nice day, DJT!' Trump didn't directly respond to Musk's Epstein charge, instead posting what amounted to a shrug on Truth Social, while also continuing to back the 'big, beautiful bill.' 'I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,' Trump wrote. 'This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress.'

Elon Musk deadnames his 'killed' child — his trans daughter claps back
Transphobia is alive and well in America — and so is Vivian Wilson, the 20-year-old trans daughter of Elon Musk who clapped back at her billionaire father after he deadnamed her and declared she had been "killed." Sign up for the to keep up with what's new in LGBTQ+ culture and entertainment — delivered three times a week straight (well…) to your inbox!

On Saturday, March 22, X user @spacesudoer wrote, "Don't people realize that we hate Hitler not for doing a quirky salute, but for killing millions of people? Has Elon killed even a single person? No. And just because his son says something, that doesn't necessarily make it true." Musk wrote the following in response: "Exactly. My son, Xavier, died. He was killed by the woke mind virus. Now, the woke mind virus will die." On Sunday, March 23, Vivian Wilson shared an Instagram video to clap back at her father deadnaming her and falsely claiming that she has died.
