On the “Give It To Me Straight” podcast, Vivian Jenna Wilson recalled the surreal moment she found out she was making headlines due to her father’s comments on losing her to ‘the woke mind virus.’ “I woke up—’cause I was in Tokyo—and I look at my phone, and I’m like, ‘Wow! Ha! Wow…’” she said. Her reaction? A quick trip to the convenience store for a gin and tonic, followed by a casual round of ‘Smash Brothers.’ “It was just like, I just woke up one day and it was like, ‘There it is.’” But the moment was tinged with a heavier backstory. A year earlier, Wilson had been in the headlines due to Walter Isaacson’s authorised biography “Elon Musk”, which, she said, devoted “an extensive bit” to painting her as “the reason for his tragic villain backstory origin” due to her being trans. “It’s just that,” she said, “but a lot worse, and a lot more drawn out. It was not a very good book.” #VivianJennaWilson #ElonMusk #LGBTQIA #Trans #GiveItToMeStraightPodcast #MaddyMorphosis
