Vivian Jenna Wilson, the estranged billionaire daughter of Elon Musk, criticized her father vehemently in a frank interview with Teen Vogue. She downplayed his wealth and influence, referring to him as a “pathetic man-child” and professed total lack of concern for his power.
When asked if she feared Musk, Vivian was blunt. “I don’t give a f**k about him,” she said, adding that his money and status didn’t intimidate her. Mocking the notion that his wealth should make her afraid, she sarcastically remarked, “Oh, no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here.”
Vivian also addressed Musk’s growing involvement in US politics, particularly his association with former President Donald Trump. She admitted to publicly criticizing him multiple times and denounced his controversial gesture at Trump’s inauguration rally, insisting it was a Nazi salute. “Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was,” she stated.
Musk, who has also been a vocal opponent of gender-affirming care, had earlier asserted that the “woke mind virus” caused him to lose his child, referring to Vivian’s transition. He also spoke out against gender-reassignment surgery, terming it “child mutilation and sterilization.” In an earlier interview, the CEO of Tesla disclosed that he had signed medical forms for his child without completely knowing what was going on, stating he had been “tricked” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The billionaire’s acrimonious relationship with Vivian has long been common knowledge. But her most recent statement shows the immense personal and philosophical rift between the two, even further igniting controversy about the forthright political and social comments made by Musk.
