Meet Elon Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson – who he describes as a ‘communist who thinks anyone rich is evil’
• Vivian, who was called ‘Xavier’ at birth, was born in 2004 with her twin, Griffin
• She legally changed her gender and name last year
For Elon Musk, his relationship with his transgender daughter has been a tense one in recent years.
And his latest outburst, where he called Vivian Jenna Wilson, 19, a ‘communist’ who thinks ‘anyone rich is evil’, has suggested that their relationship has reached a new low.
The 19-year-old legally changed her gender to female and her name from ‘Xavier’ to Vivian Jenna Wilson last year, while revealing in court filings she ‘no longer wishes to be related’ to Musk ‘in any way’.
While the South African billionaire was ‘generally sanguine’ about his daughter’s transition, he has since slammed her, calling her a ‘communist’ and blaming her political views on the expensive private high school she attended.
But according to an excerpt from an upcoming biography of Musk, published this week in the Wall Street Journal, it has been claimed that the Tesla CEO’s rift with Vivian ‘pained him more than anything in his life since the infant death of his firstborn child Nevada,’ who died just 10 weeks old of sudden infant death syndrome.
Further confusing matters, he famously tweeted in 2020: ‘I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare.’ And: ‘Pronouns suck.’
So who exactly is Vivian Jenna Wilson? MailOnline takes a deep dive into her life to find out who she is and why her and her father have such a strained relationship.
