Summary

Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Muskā€™s daughter, accused her father of giving a ā€œdefinitely Nazi saluteā€ at two rallies in January, calling his actions ā€œfucking cringe.ā€

In an interview with Teen Vogue, she criticized Muskā€™s involvement in the Trump administration and advocated for trans rights, emphasizing the importance of gender-affirming care for minors.

Wilson, who transitioned as a teen, described Musk as cold and absent, and revealed she no longer associates with him or his family.

She also expressed fear over anti-trans legislation under Trumpā€™s administration.

    Lol, no they havenā€™t, and if you have a hard time seeing a chest pounding and sharp arm raising as a Nazi salute but buy a frozen frame of a wave as potentially equivalent youā€™re deep into the conservative media ecosystem looking for a reason to excuse him.

    Itā€™s not a hand wave, itā€™s a frame-perfect Nazi salute with the beginning middle and end. Thereā€™s nothing he could have done to make it more accurate a Nazi salute other than speaking German at the time.

      What I see is Elon haters clinging to this salute as if itā€™s the one silver bullet that will somehow make him lose Trumpā€™s or the Republicansā€™ support. But their insistence on this is like preaching to the choir, as right-wingers simply donā€™t careā€”some even like Elon more for being gutsy.

      If thatā€™s all theyā€™ve got on Elon, then heā€™s sure to keep his job at DOGE. And Trump is laughing all the way to the bank, as the anti-Elon sentiment shields him from criticism, as social mediaā€™s attention is mostly spent on Elon instead of Trump.

        Nazi symbolism is ā€œgutsyā€. God Elon-stans are such fucking losers.

          Sorry, English is not my first language. What I meant is that some may see him as wacky and irreverent.
