Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson has responded to her father’s latest transphobic comments with a viral TikTok using audio from RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 3.

The 20-year-old, who came out as trans in 2020, used the iconic line “I look pretty good for a dead b*tch” — originally delivered by drag queen Morgan McMichaels — to clap back at Musk’s claims that she had been “killed by the woke mind virus”.

The tech billionaire and current head of the Department of Government Efficiency under Donald Trump’s administration reignited controversy after reposting a misgendering comment on X and quoting a user who referred to Vivian by her deadname.

In response, Vivian shared a clip of herself lip-syncing to the Drag Race quote, overlaying screenshots of Musk’s post. Her caption read: “And you don’t,” turning the viral moment into a statement of defiance and visibility.

Vivian, the daughter of Musk and author Justine Wilson, previously criticised her father in a Teen Vogue profile, accusing him of delivering a “definitely a Nazi salute” at a political rally and calling out his history of deadnaming and endorsing anti-trans policies. She has also condemned Musk’s support of the UK’s ban on puberty blockers.

Musk further escalated his rhetoric by posting unsubstantiated claims linking hormone therapy to emotional volatility and higher violence rates among trans individuals. “Hormone injections cause extreme emotional volatility. That is simply a fact,” he wrote. However, no scientific data supports such statements, and medical professionals widely refute them.

Vivian has indicated plans to leave the United States following Trump’s election win, citing safety and political hostility as key concerns.
