Incel nonsense: Elon Musk's daughter blasts him for offering Taylor Swift a child

Tesla CEO Elon Musk's weird offer to "give" Taylor Swift a child, in response to the popstar's endorsement of US Vice President and Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris has not gone down well with his transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson.

On September 11, in a message to Taylor Swift on X, the social media platform he owns, Elon Musk wrote: "Fine Taylor... you win...I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life." Musk was responding to Swift's Instagram post in which she endorsed Kamala Harris for US President and which she signed off with: "Childless Cat Lady".

Now, Musk's 20-year-old daughter has decided to enter the conversation, lambasting her father for his comments, calling it "heinous incel nonsense".

“Also, yes, I saw "the tweet". Heinous incel nonsense is in fact heinous incel nonsense. I don't really have anything to add to it, it's just abhorrent. That much is obvious and if you don't see how then you're part of the problem. I would just like to say to my audience members, don't let people talk to you like that. It's disgusting, it's belittling and incredibly sexist. You deserve better,” wrote Vivian Jenna Wilson, one of Musk’s six children with his ex-wife Justine Musk.

Wilson took to Threads, a social media platform started by Facebook to rival X, to share her delight over Swift’s endorsement.

“The timing for the Taylor Swift endorsement of Kamala Harris honestly could not have been better. Can't wait to see the Swifties at the polls! Vote blue,” she wrote before acknowledging her father’s comments.

Musk’s tweet garnered many comments that shared his daughter’s concerns.

“This is so weird man,” said one user. “You are creepy and weird,” declared another.

The relationship between Musk and Wilson has remained soured for a while now. Earlier this year, Musk drew the ire of the internet after saying that Wilson, a transgender, "was killed by the woke mind virus" during an interview with Jordan Peterson, a right-wing commentator.

According to the Independent, Wilson changed her name when she turned 18, getting rid of the Musk name as she did not wish to be related to her biological father "in any way, shape or form," according to court filings from 2022.
