Banned the word "cisgender" from X.com
Musk's relationship with his transgender daughter is nonexistent, as Vivian Wilson, the daughter, states that he was an absent parent who harassed her as a child.
Musk's transphobia has been on full display: he banned the word "cisgender" from X.com, which led many LGBTQ rights groups away from the platform.

OpEd: Should apologize for giving Nazi salutes
[Governor J.B. Pritzker, D-IL]: At a moment when antisemitism is at an all-time high in my lifetime, we have [Elon Musk] standing up at a presidential rally and giving two Nazi salutes in a row. Now, if he didn't mean it, he should apologize. Afterward,
you could say, and he should, "I didn't mean that. That wasn't the symbol I was trying to show."Neo-Nazis across the United States celebrated when he did that. That should be some indication to everybody about why this is so important for him to call
out.
Now, what has he followed up with? Jokes about Nazis and then showing up in a video presentation to the far right folks who are the most antisemitic in German politics, and telling them, I'm for you. That's bad for the United States. It's bad for
Jews across the world. It's bad for Germany. And President Trump ought to be calling that out. If he doesn't agree with Elon Musk, if he doesn't agree with two "Sieg Heils" at his own rally and backing a party that backs Nazis, then he ought to say so.
