Earlier in the week, Elon appeared on Jordan Peterson's podcast and made a series of hurtful claims about his daughter, including that he was "tricked" into letting her receive gender-affirming care at 16 and that she had figuratively been "killed" by the "woke mind virus."

He continued the bizarre rant on X, deadnaming his daughter as he claimed that she was "born gay and slightly autistic."
Elon had Vivian and her twin brother during his first marriage to author Justine Musk. He also has 10 other known children with various women.

Vivian, who legally changed her name and gender in 2022, denied his claims on Threads, saying, "This entire thing is completely made up."
Of Elon's claim that she would pick out his clothes and call them "fabulous," Vivian said, "Literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said 'eh- good enough' in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own fucking story."
"I did not have a 'love of musicals & theatre' when I was four, because y’know… I was fucking four," Vivian continued. "My earliest real experience with musicals was when my twin brother had a hamilton phase in 8th/9th grade and overplayed it so much in the car to the point where for a long time I swore off the entire genre."
She said, "This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. 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. Obviously he can’t say that, so I’ve been reduced to a happy little stereotype f*g-ing along to use at his discretion. I think that says alot about how he views queer people and children in general."
"As for if I’m not a woman… sure, Jan. Whatever you say," Vivian added. "I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me. Obviously Elon can’t say the same because in a ketamine-fueled haze, he’s desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him. Go touch some fucking grass."
I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian.

She also defended the 20-year-old in the comments after a user said "it's not great when you’re changing what God created." Grimes replied, "God gave us hands to build cathedrals, rockets to the moon. It's clearly divine to make use of gods greatest gift to humanity, which is creativity."

It's not the first time she's been at odds with Elon, either.

The singer — who shares three children with the Tesla CEO, sons X ? A-Xii and Techno Mechanicus and daughter Y — previously called him out for his tweets on transgender identity.

After he tweeted, "Pronouns suck," in 2020, she replied, “I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a [call]. I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn't your heart.”
She also reportedly sued Elon last year to establish parental rights to their three children.
So far, Elon hasn't publicly responded to her latest tweet, but we've reached out to his reps for comment.
