The daughter of Tesla owner Vivian Jenna Wilson has been at odds with her father since his transition in 2022. Elon Musk has repeatedly spoken about the death of his son “killed by the wokism virus”.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a while.”wrote Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk's transgender daughter on Threads when Donald Trump's victory was announced. In this message, the 20-year-old young woman announces that she wants to leave the country: “I don’t see my future in UNITED STATES ». “Yesterday (the election day, Editor’s note) confirmed this to me”she explained in her post before justifying herself: “Even if he (Donald Trump, editor's note) only stays in power for four years, even if anti-trans regulations are not magically applied, the people who voted for him are not going to go away anytime soon ».
Vivian Jenna Wilson cut ties with her father in 2022 when he underwent a sex change, according to Walter Isaacson's biography of the billionaire. Since then, the father and daughter have criticized and insulted each other through the media. “The woke virus killed my son”replied Elon Musk on Wednesday, under the X post of an Internet user affirming that his daughter was a man and not a woman.
“You are not a family man, you are a serial cheater who keeps lying about your own children”she told her father on Threads last August. Vivian Jenna Wilson also recalled that Elon Musk was not on the right side of history when he came to defend Donald Trump on stage at Madison Square Garden on October 27, calling the meeting a “racist”. Finally, during an interview given to NBC News, the young woman described the boss of “an absent father”, “cold”, «cruel»et “narcissistic”.
“I lost my son”
Vivian Jenna Wilson, born Xavier Musk, is the eldest – with her twin – of Elon Musk's ten children. When he reaches the age of majority, Xavier decides to break his ties with his father and announces that he wants to change sex and take his mother's maiden name. Xavier Musk thus became Vivian Jenna Wilson. Since then, the boss of Tesla has insisted that his son is dead. “I lost my son, basically… My son Xavier died, killed by the woke virus, so I swore to destroy this woke virus after that”, he said in an interview with American investigative YouTuber Dave Lee, published on X on July 22, 2024. In response to this interview, his daughter wrote on Threads: “I'm doing pretty good for a dead bitch”.
In the same interview, Elon Musk also said that “his son” was “a communist”who had been brainwashed “to think that every rich person is bad”. Usually absent from the media and the spotlight, Vivian Jenna Wilson has been particularly active on Threads, the main competitor of the social network X owned by her father, since the billionaire announced his support for Donald Trump.
Elon Musk has indeed become an essential figure in the entourage of the new President of the United States. The Tesla boss even appeared in the Republican's family photo, published on X by Kai Trump, Donald Trump's granddaughter. He could even get an important position in the Trump administration. However, the billionaire announced that he did not want any remuneration or title.
