Grimes is sending support to Elon Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson.

The musician, 36, praised Wilson on X (formerly known as Twitter) after the 20-year-old recently commented on Musk as a father and challenged his previous claims about her transition-related medical treatment.

“I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian,” Grimes shared on X.

In response to one user’s comments about the negative impacts of “changing what God created,” Grimes responded that while she “respects” Christian beliefs, she does “not hold this world view.”

“... I too enjoy changing my body with tattoos and stuff,” she commented. “But if we're made in [God’s] image, and he gave us the capacity to change it, beautify it, make it unique, that is God’s image too.”

“For me God is the universe, not just infinite, but infinite possibility,” she added.

This comes after Wilson, who legally filed to change her name and gender in 2022 at age 18, pushed back against her father’s claims that she was "killed by the woke mind virus” and that he was "tricked" into allowing her to undergo transgender-related medical treatment.

"I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged," she said. "Which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide,” Wilson said in an interview with NBC News published on July 25.

She added that Musk "knew the full side effects" of her medical treatment, which she says involved puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy.

Wilson, who is the daughter of Musk with his ex-wife Justine Wilson, also addressed her childhood with Musk as her father, noting that "he was there, I want to say, maybe 10% of the time."

"That's generous. He had half custody, and he fully was not there. It was just a fact of life at the time, so I don’t think I realized just how abnormal of an experience it was," she said, adding that she had not spoken to her father in about four years.

Musk did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for a statement at the time.
