Grimes has publicly shown her support for Elon Musk's daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, following Musk's recent anti-trans statements. 

Earlier this week, Elon Musk appeared on Jordan Peterson's podcast, where he made several hurtful claims about his daughter, stating he was "tricked" into allowing her to receive gender-affirming care at 16 and alleging she had been "killed" by the "woke mind virus." 

Musk continued his rant on social media, deadnaming Vivian and claiming she was "born gay and slightly autistic."

Vivian, who legally changed her name and gender in 2022, responded on Threads, denying her father's claims and accusing him of fabricating stories about her childhood. 

She stated, "This entire thing is completely made up. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there." 

She also criticized Musk for reducing her to stereotypes and seeking validation from his followers.

Following Vivian's posts, Grimes expressed her support on Twitter, saying she was "endlessly proud of Vivian" for speaking out. 

In response to a user's comment about changing God's creation, Grimes replied, "God gave us hands to build cathedrals, rockets to the moon. It's clearly divine to make use of God's greatest gift to humanity, which is creativity."

Grimes, who shares three children with Musk, has previously called him out for his tweets on transgender identity. 

In 2020, after Musk tweeted, "Pronouns suck," she responded, "I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a [call]. I cannot support hate. Please stop this."

Musk has not publicly responded to Grimes' latest tweet, and his representatives have not yet commented on the matter.
