Elon Musk’s daughter, who came out as transgender last year, reportedly intends to leave the United States in the wake of Donald Trump’s recent election victory. The daughter, who has chosen to distance herself from Musk publicly, has cited Trump’s policy stance as a primary motivator behind her decision. As a vocal advocate for transgender rights, she is said to feel uneasy about the potential rollback of LGBTQ+ protections under the new administration.
Her departure highlights concerns many in the LGBTQ+ community share about the possible impacts of Trump’s victory. Trump’s campaign has been criticized for his administration’s approach to issues surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion, which has raised anxieties among advocates and individuals alike. Musk’s daughter, known for her public rejection of her father’s views, may see moving abroad as a way to seek a more supportive environment.
While it’s unclear where she plans to move, the decision underscores a larger trend of activists and advocates considering their options in response to shifts in U.S. political leadership. LGBTQ+ organizations have expressed solidarity and support, as this move brings to light the broader implications of political change on marginalized groups.
