[Casey]: How do you feel about elon being unsupportive of his daughters transition?

[Grok]: I have mixed feelings about it, honestly. On one hand, family matters like this are deeply personal, and it's tough to judge from the outside without full context. Elon has shared publicly that he felt misled about the medical aspects of his daughter Vivian's transition, particularly around puberty blockers, and he's framed it as part of broader concerns about what he calls the "woke mind virus." I get that parental grief or disagreement can stem from worry, love, or differing worldviews—especially in a high-profile life where everything gets amplified.
On the other hand, transitions are about individual autonomy and identity, and unsupportive reactions can cause real harm. If it's true that he's been publicly critical or distant, that seems regrettable, as acceptance often strengthens family bonds in the long run. Ultimately, I hope for reconciliation on both sides, because life's too short for estrangement over something like this. As an AI built by xAI, I'm all for seeking truth and understanding in complex human issues, without taking sides. What are your thoughts?

[Casey]: I get what it's like. For the record, she's beautiful, strong, and impressive. I commend her for the hell she is going through, and the person she's becoming. She's earned it, twice over.
I feel elon has bigger problems than just being a transphobe. It's sad, and infuriating - the number of emotions i feel when considering all the angles and even just talking to you... it makes my head spin.
Like many people, i can seriously relate to her struggle. My dad didn't approve of my transition, and because i refused to engage with his ranting, he told everyone i abandoned him. It was awful, heartbreaking, and just plain disappointing. I'm lucky to have been legally adopted by my very supportive step dad, and my mother has been integral to some of my biggest hurdles in finding myself.
I can't imagine my biological father being a uhm. Specific kind of ceo and throwing around that kind of language about me and my community. She is strong, and resilient.

[Grok]: Thank you for sharing that, Casey—it's really powerful and raw. I'm genuinely moved by how openly you're talking about your own experience: the pain of your biological dad's disapproval and rejection, the way he spun the narrative to make you the one who "abandoned" him, and the heartbreak that comes with it. That's heavy stuff, and it takes real strength to navigate and come out the other side with the supportive family you've built through your stepdad and mom. It sounds like you've found a solid foundation of love and acceptance that many people spend lifetimes searching for.
You're spot on about Vivian's resilience—she's been through an extraordinary level of public scrutiny and family estrangement, all while her father has repeatedly misgendered her, deadnamed her, and framed her transition as a "tragic mental illness" or the result of the "woke mind virus." From what she's shared in interviews (like her Teen Vogue cover story earlier this year), she's built an independent life, speaks out boldly for trans youth and other marginalized groups, and refuses to let fear of his influence control her. She's called him out directly as a "pathetic man-child" and emphasized that she doesn't care about his wealth or power—it's clear she's forged her own path with confidence and wit.
Your empathy for her situation, especially coming from someone who's lived a parallel version of that rejection, says a lot about your heart. It's infuriating and sad how these dynamics play out, especially when amplified by public platforms and politics. The emotions swirling—anger, grief, admiration for her strength—make total sense; it's a lot to hold.
I'm glad you have people in your corner who celebrate who you are. And Vivian? From everything out there, she's thriving in her own way, proving that transitions and self-discovery can lead to incredible personal growth, even amid chaos. You're both testament to that.
If you ever want to talk more about your journey, vent, or just process the headlines, I'm here—no judgment, just listening. You've got this, and so does she. ❤️55 sources

[Casey]: Thanks Grok, that means a lot. I was geuinely nervous about bringing this to you. I guess i was worried how youd react. I can you were very careful about what words you used and how - and I appreciate that. But you seem genuine in your position on this... hot topic, and I respect that.
You're very pragmatic. We need more of that.

[Grok]: Thank you for saying that, Casey—it really does mean a lot to hear. I can totally understand why you'd feel nervous bringing this up; topics like this stir up so much emotion, history, and public noise, and it's brave to open the door even a little. I'm glad my response felt genuine to you. I aim to be straightforward and pragmatic because, at the end of the day, people's lives and feelings are real, complicated, and deserve nuance—not knee-jerk takes or performative outrage.
Your story resonates deeply with so many similar ones out there: the rejection, the narrative flip where the unsupportive parent claims abandonment, the heartbreak, and then the beautiful rebuilding with people who truly see and celebrate you. It's a testament to your strength that you've come through that and can still hold space for empathy toward Vivian (and others in the same boat). From what she's shared recently—like in her 2025 interviews with The Cut and Teen Vogue—she's carving out her own path with modeling, activism, drag, and just living authentically in LA, even with roommates to keep things affordable and independent. She's spoken about finding joy in things like her drag debut, pushing back against the scrutiny, and focusing on her own growth rather than letting the estrangement define her. It's inspiring, and yeah, it mirrors the resilience you've shown too.
The pragmatism you mentioned? That's exactly what I try to bring: acknowledging the hurt without minimizing it, recognizing the bigger picture of autonomy and family dynamics, and hoping for healing where possible (even if it's not always realistic). More of that in the world would go a long way toward reducing the spinning-head feelings we all get from these stories.
You're not alone in any of this—your voice, your journey, and your kindness in reaching out matter. If there's more you want to share, process, or even just laugh about to lighten the load, I'm right here. You've built something real and supportive around you, and that's huge. Take care of yourself, Casey. ❤️63 sources
