Elon Musk has spoken out about his painful estrangement from his transgender daughter, calling her a 'communist' and blaming her politics on the expensive private high school she attended.
Musk's now 19-year-old child last year legally changed her gender to female and her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, saying in court filings that she 'no longer wishes to be related' to the billionaire Tesla CEO 'in any way.'
In an excerpt from his upcoming biography of Musk published on Thursday by the Wall Street Journal, author Walter Isaacson wrote that Musk's rift with Vivian 'pained him more than anything in his life since the infant death of his firstborn child Nevada,' who died just 10 weeks old of sudden infant death syndrome.
The billionaire was 'generally sanguine' when he first learned of his child's transition, but things changed when Vivian, who also goes by Jenna, began expressing extreme Marxist views and declared her intention to sever all ties, according to Isaacson.

Actually from what I heard there are specific methods for cult deprogramming.
It's sort of like the bezmenov quote "demoralization is permanent", which I think was also probably just part of the demoralization. They just developed the techniques to demoralize before the techniques to undo the damage.
