Vivian Jenna Wilson on Being #ElonMusk’s Estranged Daughter, Protecting #TransYouth & Taking on the Right Online
TV: Do you ever feel scared? He's the richest man in the world.
VW: He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power.… I don't give a f**k. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here.… He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.

…Wilson entered the public consciousness because of her father, but not for typical nepo baby reasons. (Before you ask, Wilson says she’s been financially independent from her father since she came out as #trans in 2020….) At the time, she was trying to disconnect herself from #Musk, eventually writing in a 2022 petition to legally change her name that she doesn’t “wish to be related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form.”
Though she’d never publicly spoken about #Musk before then, her attempt to distance herself from him is what ultimately drew her into the public eye.
…Musk has as many as 14 children w/4 different mothers across a 20yr span: 6…w/his ex-wife Justine Wilson; 4 w/Shivon Zilis, exec at Musk co Neuralink;& 3 w/the musician Grimes. Feb 14, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair announced a 13th child (who, as of this writing, Musk has yet to acknowledge), & Feb 28, a 14th child w/Zilis was reported.
…2 yrs after Wilson filed that name-change petition (&…9 days after #Musk endorsed #Trump…), her father spoke about her…w/ #manosphere influencer Jordan Peterson, repeatedly deadnaming Wilson & claiming she’d been “killed by the woke mind virus.” During that interview, Musk built on the picture of Wilson painted in Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography…. In that telling…she was an angry, rebellious child, blinded by radical anticapitalist ideology & hurting her father w/her rash decisions.
