Elon Musk's daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson slams him over controversial gesture at Trump inauguration rally
WASHINGTON, DC: Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, lashed out at her father after he reportedly made an eyebrow-raising gesture during Donald Trump’s inauguration day rally.
The Tesla CEO has been accused of making a "Nazi salute" at the Capitol One Arena rally on Monday, January 20.
Elon Musk's daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson calls him out over his controversial hand gesture
Vivian Jenna Wilson took to Instagram’s Threads platform on Tuesday to write, "I’m just gonna say let’s call a spade a f***ing spade. Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade," as reported by the Daily Beast.
Wilson, the daughter of Elon and his ex-wife, Canadian author Justine Musk, also made fun of those defending the billionaire by calling his gesture a "Roman salute" or blaming it on his autism diagnosis.
In another Thread post, the 21-year-old wrote, "I don't know why y'all are reacting with such vigor, I'm clearly only talking about card suits. I mean I have ADHD and this was CLEARLY just an accident that people happened to interpret to mean something other than just card suits."
"After all, there's no proof I'm not just talking about card suits. Y'know... people assuming that I'm not just talking about card suits just goes to show how dishonest people/the media can be," she added.
Wilson’s third post read, "For those who can read between the lines, do y'all understand how f****** easy this is to do? Plausible deniability honey. Just saying ✨."
Elon Musk slams Wikipedia over update on controversial hand gesture
This came as the tech billionaire called out Wikipedia over an update on his Wikipedia page about the controversial gesture, which read, "See also: Nazi salute § Elon Musk at the 2025 Donald Trump presidential inauguration."
A whole section titled "Alleged Nazi salute at 2025 inauguration rally" was added and it says, "Musk thumped his right hand over his heart, fingers spread wide, and then extended his right arm out, emphatically, at an upward angle, palm down and fingers together."
He took to his social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, to write, "Since legacy media propaganda is considered a ‘valid’ source by Wikipedia, it naturally simply becomes an extension of legacy media propaganda!"

Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales soon fired back, writing, "I think Elon is unhappy that Wikipedia is not for sale. I hope his campaign to defund us results in lots of donations from people who care about the truth. If Elon wanted to help, he'd be encouraging kind and thoughtful intellectual people he agrees with to engage."
