Vivian Jenna Wilson has spoken out regarding Elon Musk’s ‘gross’ tweet about her.
Wilson, one of Elon Musk’s children from his marriage to Justine Wilson, petitioned for a name change in 2022, expressing a desire to not be ‘related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form’.
Despite Wilson’s efforts to distance herself, the Tesla CEO has continued to make remarks about his 20-year-old daughter online, stating that Wilson – who is transgender – was ‘killed’ by a ‘woke mind virus’.
In a recent Teen Vogue interview, Wilson shared her thoughts on seeing news about Musk, describing it as ‘f**king cringe’ and feeling compelled to ‘post about this and denounce it’.
“Which I have done a few times,” she said.
Referring to an incident where Musk was accused of performing a ‘Nazi salute’ at a Trump rally, Wilson described it as ‘insane’.
On Twitter, a user responded to a headline stating: “Elon Musk’s daughter says father’s rally gesture was ‘definitely a Nazi salute’.”
The user questioned whether Musk has ever caused harm and remarked that just because Wilson ‘says something, that doesn’t necessarily make it true’.
Musk replied, using Wilson’s former name, and reiterated his claim that she ‘was killed by the woke mind virus’.
Wilson’s response to this was posted on Threads: “Ew. Gross. I’ll deal with this nonsense in a bit, for now a simple ratio will suffice.”
One social media user commented on Musk’s post saying: “This is a horrible thing to say about your child.”
Another user expressed support for Wilson: “Vivian I’m so sorry, you’re experiencing this pain in public. It is absolutely shocking. Please stay safe and know we appreciate & support you. You’re a beautiful young lady, who shouldn’t have to go through these attacks, in the public eye. Stay strong.”
During the interview, Wilson also referred to Musk as ‘a pathetic man-child’ and stated she doesn’t ‘give a f**k’ about Musk’s ‘power’.
“Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? Oh, no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don’t give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations,” she continued. “People thrive off of fear. I’m not giving anyone that space in my mind. The only thing that gets to live free in my mind are drag queens.”
Wilson concluded: “But other than that, I don’t give a f**k about him. I really don’t. It’s annoying that people associate me with him. I just don’t have any room to care anymore.”
