Summary

Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, announced her intention to leave the U.S. after Donald Trump’s 2024 election win, citing concerns over anti-trans sentiment and her lack of a future in the country.

Vivian, who legally separated from Musk in 2022, has openly criticized him, labeling him a “serial adulterer.”

Musk, a prominent Trump supporter who donated heavily to his campaign, has expressed regret over her gender transition, claiming he was “tricked” into supporting puberty blockers.

Meanwhile, Musk has purchased a $35 million compound in Austin, Texas, where he plans to house his children and their mothers.

      Yeah that ain’t a home, that’s a breeding facility.

      Fucking weird. Like straight out of Game of Thrones where that one dude was in one house with all the girls and sacrificed the boys

      Yeeesh

      And what’s the deal with the plural of “mothers”? Sounds like he has several wives or x-wives living with him.

        If you read the article, yes, that’s exactly it. He wants all his kids from different mothers to live different homes in the same compound. Creepy.

          And they are ok with living under the same roof with each other? If you can live like a queen, you probably are willing to make some compromises. Either that or Musk is one helluva negotiator. If it’s the latter, Musk should really try to talk to the leaders of Israel and Hamas.

        The guy has had 12 kids with 4 or 5 different women. Reading the section of his wikipedia page about his children is like watching an episode of Maury [LINK]

          Nobody can stop him–if that’s his desire, he will have it that way. We’re about to see how eccentric a billionaire can get, we’re probably not even scratching the surface yet. $35 mill seems like chicken scratch though, with his kind of wealth I’d drop $5 billion and see what kind of compound that gets ya lol

            Yep. He will be able to get away with even more now than he ever was before. All guard rails are down. He’s going to have a sister-wife compound with trucks out the back unloading pallets of ketamine.

        “Mothers” does not imply “wives”. He has only been married to two women. But he has children with many more than that.

        Did it say he would be living with them? I took it to mean it’s like a box for him to put all his perceived mistakes and throw away the key.

      A compound in Texas run by an ultraconservative who loves guns is an American tradition

      Assuming he’s only actually married to one person, it’s just adultery, which is mostly legal.

      Of course, that assumes everyone is there consensually, and is free to leave whenever.

        I doubt they would be free to leave now that Vivian is out there badmouthing him. And considering the way he treated Vivian, they will be neglected and verbally abused.

      It’s actually not legal in Utah! The Mormon church yielded after a lot of pressure regarding the practice and Utah then made it illegal.

        Yes, outlawing polygamy was one of the concessions for statehood. The church later claimed it was never actually a commandment and condemned anyone still practicing it (publicly).

          “Publicly” is doing a lot of work there. Happened under the table a lot through the early 1900s.

          Also, even in mainstream LDS, there is polygamy in the afterlife. Women can only get sealed to one husband, if they die or get divorced their husband can be sealed again, and will get all of his spirit wives back in the afterlife. I think women who die unmarried get passed out as well, although some of them get husbands that fought valiantly in the pre-existence or something but weren’t born.

    Us too, Vivian. It’s no longer safe for queer people in America. I hope you have a safe place to go.
