Marlon Wayans Rips Elon Musk for Transphobic Hypocrisy
Comedian Marlon Wayans is calling out Elon Musk for his transphobic hypocrisy after the billionaire made a joke about giving Taylor Swift a child. Wayans took to social media to slam Musk, saying, ‘You wouldn’t give Taylor Swift a child, but you’ll reject your own trans child?’
Musk had previously sparked outrage after announcing that he was disowning his trans daughter, Vivian. The news was met with widespread condemnation from the LGBTQ+ community and allies.
Wayans’ comments highlight the stark contrast between Musk’s willingness to joke about having a child with a cisgender celebrity like Taylor Swift, while simultaneously rejecting his own trans child.
‘You’re willing to make a joke about having a kid with someone who isn’t even trans, but you won’t accept your own trans child?’ Wayans wrote. ‘That’s some messed up stuff right there.’
Wayans’ post has gone viral, with many people praising him for speaking out against Musk’s transphobia. As one user commented, ‘Marlon Wayans is a true ally. He’s not afraid to call out transphobia and hypocrisy when he sees it.’”
