Grimes is standing by Vivian.

The singer defended her ex-partner Elon Musk’s 20-year-old transgender daughter on Thursday with a direct social media statement.

“I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian,” Grimes, 36, wrote via X.

The artist’s statement followed Musk’s viral claim three days earlier that his and his ex-wife Justine Wilson’s daughter was “killed by the woke-mind virus.”

The Tesla founder, who used his estranged child’s previous name during a discussion with Dr. Jordan Peterson, claimed he was essentially tricked into signing documents” for Vivian’s gender reassignment surgery.

“There was a lot of confusion,” Musk said in the Daily Wire interview Monday, recalling being told Vivian “might commit suicide” if she did not undergo the procedure.

In the Q&A, Musk also “promised to eradicate the woke-mind virus” and stated he was “making progress” in that effort.

On Thursday, Vivian responded sharply, choosing to post her reply on Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads platform rather than on X, which her father purchased in 2022.

“I look pretty good for a dead bitch,” she wrote.

Vivian proceeded to refute specific “false” claims made by Musk, including allegations that she ““pick[ing] out clothes" for him at age 4 and was fixated on musical theater.

She also clarified that she was the one to “disown him,” saying, “He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness.

“As for if I’m not a woman… sure, Jan. Whatever you say. I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me.”
