Marlon Wayans Slams Elon Musk For ‘Disowning’ Their Transgender Daughter

Marlon Wayans has slammed Elon Musk for not accepting his transgender daughter.

The Tesla CEO’s daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, came out as transgender in 2022.

She was 18 years old when she filed to change her name and ended her relationship with her billionaire father.

The tech mogul has since made extremely controversial comments against the trans community and his own daughter, and now he’s being called out by one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars.

In a video streamed live on X, previously known as Twitter, Musk told conservative commentator Jordan Peterson that he had been ‘tricked’ into authorizing trans-related medical treatment for his daughter when she was 16 years old.

Wilson has since stated that this is not true.

Repeatedly using the wrong pronouns and gender to refer to his daughter, Musk said: “I lost my son.

“They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason it’s called ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead. So my son is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”

Posting on Threads, Wilson wrote in response: “He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was, I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness.”

The now 20-year-old has since cut all ties with her father.

White Chicks actor Marlon Wayans, who is also a father to a transgender child, felt compelled to speak out against the tech billionaire for his transphobic comments.

On a recent episode of the podcast Club Shay Shay, hosted by Shannon Sharpe, the Scary Movie actor opened up about his son, Kai, coming out.

“For one week I was resistant, and I’m not proud of the things that I went through but I’m proud that I got there in a week.

“I’m sad to say some parents and some family members and some people — it’ll take them a lifetime, and they’ll never get to that magical place that I’m at.”

He also shared that Kai, who uses he/they pronouns, broke his belief that people have to remain in certain roles and stereotypes, and that, ultimately, he believes it’s his job to be their father and love them unconditionally.

Wayans also touched on Musk’s transphobic comments: “I have a Tesla that I’m about to drive off a cliff,” he joked.

“I don’t like what he be saying about his trans child, that made me mad. You don’t treat them babies like that. You don’t disown your baby.”

He added: “Love your child!”
