Marlon Wayans has no time for Elon Musk's terrible parenting.
Wayans, who has a trans son himself, went on the Club Shay Shay podcast where he spent time trashing billionaire Elon Musk for the relationship – or lack thereof – he has with his trans daughter.
Wayans joked that he owns a Tesla that he is "about to drive over a cliff" due to the company being owned by Musk.
@clubshayshaypod “I have a #Tesla that I’m about to drive over a cliff. I don’t like what #elonmusk be saying about his trans child. It makes me mad. You don’t treat those babies like that. You don’t disown your baby. Love your child! ... I’m sad to say some parents, some family members, and some people it’ll take them a lifetime. They’ll never get to that magical place that I’m at which is just acceptance. Still my child. That’s my baby.” - #marlonwayans #trans
"I don't like what he be saying about his trans child, that made me mad," Wayans said. "You don't treat them babies like that. You don't disown your baby. Love your child!"
Wayans admitted that his son Kai's transition was hard for him at first, but that he got over it.
"As hard as it was, I think that it’s not important. It’s important what you went through; the five steps of grief, but I think it’s important that you get to acceptance," he said. "And I’m proud to say it took me a week. And it felt like forever, it felt like five years."
"I'm proud that I got there in a week. I'm sad to say, some parents and some family members and some people, it will take them a lifetime, and they'll never get to that magical place that I'm at, which is just acceptance. It's till my child, man. That's my baby."
Musk's daughter, Vivian Wilson, came out in 2022 and has stated that she wants nothing to do with him.
Earlier this summer, Musk was talking with conspiracy theorist Jordan Peterson about his daughter when he said he "was essentially tricked into signing documents" allowing his daughter to transition and that now, he considers her to be dead.
"I lost my son," he said, repeatedly misgendering her. "They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason it's called 'deadnaming' is because your son is dead. So my son is dead, killed by the woke mind virus."
Wayans, on the other hand, celebrated his child coming out and still has a loving relationship with them.
