Elon Musk has been slammed by Marlon Wayans, after the tech giant claimed his child was 'dead' to him after she transitioned.

The American actor and comedian ripped into Musk, after he made some extremely controversial comments about his trans child.

Vivian Wilson, Musk's daughter, came out in 2022, and revealed that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with her dad.

Wayans has a trans son himself, so he wasn't speaking about something he couldn't relate to.

It's clear that the way the two dealt with the situation is worlds apart.

Talking on the Club Shay Shay podcast, he trashed the Tesla creator for the way he had spoken publicly about his trans child.

He said: "I don't like what he be saying about his trans child, that made me mad.

"You don't treat them babies like that.

"You don't disown your baby. Love your child!"

He added: "As hard as it was, I think that it’s not important.

"It’s important what you went through; the five steps of grief, but I think it’s important that you get to acceptance.

"And I’m proud to say it took me a week.

"And it felt like forever, it felt like five years."

Speaking about how other parents might deal with a child transitioning, he continued: "I'm proud that I got there in a week.

"I'm sad to say, some parents and some family members and some people, it will take them a lifetime, and they'll never get to that magical place that I'm at, which is just acceptance.

"It's till my child, man. That's my baby."

Musk opened up about their lack of relationship earlier this summer, with conspiracy theorist Jordan Peterson.

He claimed he 'was essentially tricked into signing documents' which enabled his daughter to go through with the procedures.

Repeatedly using the wrong pronouns and gender, he said: "I lost my son.

"They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason.

"The reason it's called 'deadnaming' is because your son is dead.

Advert

"So my son is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."

Wayans even said he has a Tesla that he is 'about to drive over a cliff', after comments the owner made.

Vivian was born in 2004 with her twin, Griffin, to Elon and Canadian author Justine Musk, who was married to Elon from 2000 to 2008.
