Elon Musk’s relationship with his estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has been marked by a public feud. Here are 5 key points about their conflict:
- Musk’s Comments: Elon Musk described losing his “son” in an interview, claiming his daughter’s gender identity was a result of “woke mind virus” and misinformed consent for puberty blockers.
- Wilson’s Response: Vivian Jenna Wilson criticized Musk’s claims, especially his comments about her being “slightly autistic,” which she denies and calls fabricated.
- Name Change: In 2022, at 18, Wilson changed her name to reflect her gender identity and expressed a desire to disconnect from her biological father.
- Wilson’s View: Wilson has labeled Musk as “uncaring and narcissistic,” recalling a harsh road trip experience and criticizing his treatment of her.
- No Recent Contact: Wilson revealed in an interview that she hasn’t spoken to Musk in about four years and seeks to define her life independently of him.
Wilson, who has mostly remained private, gained attention after Musk’s interview with psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson and his recent comments on transgender issues.
