I was unaware of Mary Richardson Kennedy's suicide and the circumstances surrounding it until I read this, I don't read much "celebrity gossip" would be the ostensible reason. It's very illustrative of your point here though, that I've read a lot of pointless exposition on RFK.
In addition to manipulating her to explain away his own heinous beliefs and behavior, every time Musk attacks and disparages Vivian he's just reminding the rest of us that she's his daughter and ironically (?) elevating her fame. It seems like another example of him making himself the center of attention and using her to do it. He could have chosen not to have a relationship at all but is instead perpetuating an abusive one. He's not disavowing her as his child. He's capitalizing on her success. I know I'm blathering, but it's just unbelievably sick on so many levels—not that I expect anything different from him.
“When Musk denies his own agency as an abuser, he is not explaining the abuse; he is inflicting it.”
Yes. Thank you.

Her Wikipedia biography frames RFK as "a brother of Kerry Kennedy ". Not incorrect but an odd choice of framing.

It is exhausting how everything is a mind game with these people.
