Elon Musk ignited a fresh wave of criticism after referring to his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, as his “son” in a heated exchange with California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The clash erupted when Newsom’s press office mocked Musk over their fractured relationship, prompting the Tesla CEO to accuse the governor of promoting the “woke mind virus” that allegedly harmed his child. Musk’s remarks quickly drew sharp reactions online, both from critics and netizens who took his side.
