Elon Musk has pushed back at a claim that his transgender daughter was the reason he bought X and helped block a Kamala Harris presidency, replying from California on Monday 1 June with a single loaded word to a post linking his family life to his political and business decisions.
The comment came just as Musk's daughter, 22-year-old Vivian Wilson, appeared in a new Pride themed campaign for Rihanna's Savage x Fenty lingerie line, putting her back in the spotlight. Musk's strained relationship with Vivian has been widely reported, while his political interventions during the 2024 US presidential race have made him one of the most openly partisan tech billionaires in America.
