Elon Musk and Gavin Newsom Clash over Transgender Child

The dispute highlights ongoing tensions over transgender rights in California, involving Musk's repeated criticism of his transgender daughter and Newsom's pro-trans sports policies.

  • On Thursday , America PAC posted a clip of Governor Gavin Newsom's interview on X.com, prompting Newsom's press office to sarcastically jab Elon Musk about his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson.
  • Earlier this week, Newsom discussed transgender athletes in an interview with New York Times columnist Ezra Klein, framing himself as pro-trans and noting his trans godson, Nats Getty, on the debut episode of This is Gavin Newsom.
  • Elon Musk has previously said to Jordan Peterson, `I lost my son, essentially`, while repeatedly deadnaming and misgendering Vivian Jenna Wilson and describing her transition as manipulation.
  • In recent months, Newsom's press office has adopted a confrontational, meme-driven social-media strategy, and the clash with Musk follows his prior threats to move SpaceX and X to Texas.
  • Newsom highlighted his pro-trans record, while Erin Reed noted estradiol typically costs under $20 for 90 days and Testosterone $100-$150 monthly.
