In a shocking turn of events, Ashley St Clair, the ex-partner of billionaire Elon Musk, has publicly slammed him for his relentless anti-trans rhetoric directed at their daughter, Vivian Wilson. The drama unfolded as Musk continues to misgender Vivian on his social media platform, X, and perpetuates harmful narratives about the trans community.
On May 17, Musk tweeted, “The woke mind virus killed my son,” a statement that has drawn ire from many, especially St Clair. She took to her Instagram Story to voice her outrage, stating, “Stop tweeting about your children in this way! This is just not ok and [in my opinion] a promotion of violence against trans individuals.” St Clair’s comments highlight the serious implications of Musk’s words, noting that his tweets have historically led to increased threats against her family.
“Whenever Elon tweeted at/about me, the threats against my family have always increased. This is true whether it is negative or positive. Elon is aware that he has this impact, particularly on those he posts negatively about,” she added. With a security team that operates around the clock, St Clair questions why Musk would choose to target his own child in such a public and damaging manner.
“Now why in the f*** when you know this would you repeatedly harass and target your own child on the platform you own? I am just sick of this s***. I am sick of pretending like any of this is OK,” she expressed. St Clair’s frustration is palpable as she emphasizes the danger Musk’s words pose to Vivian, a young woman simply trying to live her life.
In a particularly biting remark, she declared, “Stop putting hits on her head,” suggesting that Musk’s comments not only misgender his daughter but also endanger her safety. St Clair’s fierce defense of Vivian is a stark reminder of the real-world consequences of public figures’ words and the responsibility they carry.
Interestingly, St Clair has also taken a moment to reflect on her own past comments that may have contributed to the pain of the trans community. “I feel immense guilt for my role, and even more guilt that things I have said in the past may have caused my son’s sister more pain. I have been trying incredibly hard privately to learn and advocate for those within the trans community that I’ve hurt,” she wrote on X.
This ongoing saga between Musk and his family raises important questions about the treatment of trans individuals, especially by those in positions of power. As Vivian continues to thrive in her career, modeling for high-profile brands like Gucci and even launching merchandise that embraces the “evil woke mind virus” narrative, it’s clear that she is not letting her father’s words define her.
In a world where trans rights are still under attack, it’s crucial for allies and family members to stand up against harmful rhetoric and support those who are marginalized. St Clair’s bold stance against Musk serves as a reminder that love and support for trans individuals must prevail over hate and ignorance.
