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.

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.

I thought that was pretty par the course in the US for places like Utah.

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.

Compound suggests multiple buildings

The law currently would give them a choice, but Musk has the government and the Supreme Court to change this.

From what I’ve heard, none of the mothers are interested.

[–] Carbonizer@lemmy.world 69 points 1 year ago

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]

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Apparently he wants to start his own fundamentalist Mormon compound.

The Real Sister Wives Of Texas, premiers spring 2025 on fox.

The sad thing is I bet more people would watch it then voted.

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

He's gonna age really gracefully, somehow i can see it already lol

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

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.
