Elon Musk’s daughter, who is currently estranged from him, recently disclosed her financial situation, mentioning that she lives with roommates and doesn’t possess substantial wealth. Elon Musk, known for his successful business ventures like Tesla, holds the title of the wealthiest individual globally.
Vivian Wilson’s relationship with her father deteriorated in 2022 following her gender transition. Musk, during his support for Donald Trump, made controversial remarks about his daughter being influenced by what he referred to as the “woke mind virus.”
In an interview with The Cut, Vivian clarified misconceptions about her financial status, stating that she does not have access to significant funds and relies on her own means. While acknowledging her mother’s wealth, she emphasized the vast difference in wealth between her mother and Musk. Vivian expressed contentment with having essential financial resources for housing, food, and some discretionary income, considering herself more privileged than many peers in Los Angeles.
A public video featuring Musk conversing with psychologist Jordan Peterson captured him disavowing support for his daughter and using outdated references to her identity, prompting Vivian to publicly address the situation. She refuted Musk’s claims and criticized his lack of support throughout her life, describing him as cold, quick to anger, and self-centered, alleging instances of harassment and pressure to conform to masculine norms.
Recounting a distressing childhood experience, Vivian recalled a road trip where Musk berated her for having a high-pitched voice, showcasing a pattern of insensitive behavior. Musk had previously cited Vivian’s transition as a catalyst for his political involvement, expressing a desire to combat what he termed the “woke mind virus.”
Vivian’s response highlighted her determination to challenge false narratives and demand accountability from her father.
