Elon Musk’s ex Grimes has spoken out in support of the tech billionaire’s transgender daughter Vivian Wilson – who goes by “Vivllainous” on Instagram and Threads, after he claimed that she was “killed by the woke mind virus”.

Canadian musician Grimes, who dated Musk for years and is the mother of three of his children, declared on X: “I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian.” The X platform, formerly Twitter, is owned by Musk; Mark Zuckerberg’s rival organisation Meta own Threads.
