Vivian Jenna Wilson, the trans daughter of Elon Musk, has ripped into her dad after a comment he made about her on X.
Elon Musk is a big supporter of Donald Trump. Not only did he donate millions of dollars to Trump’s re-election campaign but he’s also tipped to take on a non-cabinet role in Trump’s next administration.
Yesterday, Vivian, 20—who changed her name at 18 to her mom’s maiden surname—announced she was considering leaving the US.
“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States. Even if he’s only in office for 4 years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”

The thread prompted over 11k likes. The New York Post ran a story about it. Right-wing influencer Ian Miles Cheong reacted to the article on X, suggesting the Post had misused the word “daughter.”
“Son, you mean. He’s male.”
Elon Musk replied to Cheong, saying, “The woke mind virus killed my son.”
Vivian claps back
This is not the first time that Musk has voiced this opinion. However, repeating the claim prompted a fiery response from Vivian, one of Musk’s 12 kids.
“So, you’re still going with the sob-story about how ‘woe is me, my child was infected by something-or-other and that’s totally the only reason why they hate me. Just don’t… please don’t look into it, god forbid I’m anything but the victim in every scenario imaginable 😢’,” Vivian said, appearing to address her dad directly.
“Did anyone ever actually believe this? It’s just tired, it’s overdone, it’s cliché. I’m just bored honestly, like is this really the best you could come up with?,” Vivian continued.
“If I’m correct, the reason why this particular post is the one that got to you is that you’re mad that you finally don’t have power over someone. You’re upset because at the end of the day everyone around you knows you as a delusional and grubby little control freak who hasn’t matured as a person for 38 years. However, last time I checked that’s not my f*cking problem.”
Previous animosity between Elon and Vivian
When Vivian filed to change her name after turning 18, her court petition stated, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
Musk has previously spoken out about Vivian and their estranged relationship. He has called her a “communist” who thinks “anyone rich is evil.” He has also said he was “tricked” into agreeing to allow Vivian to use puberty blockers when she was 16.
“This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told [Vivian’s previous name] might commit suicide.”
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it “deadnaming” for a reason.
“The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead, so my son … is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”
Musk has also said Vivian was born “gay and slightly autistic.” On that occasion, Vivian shot back, saying, “He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there.
“And in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness.
“I’ve been reduced to a happy little stereotype. I think that says a lot about how he views queer people and children in general.”
