Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, annihilated her father in a 90-minute rant, exposing what she claims are his actual political views.
During a recent YouTube interview with influencer Hasan Piker, she claimed that her billionaire dad was never the left-wing persona he once tried to represent.
“People think it’s my fault,” Wilson, 20, told Piker of the Tesla CEO’s extreme right-wing views. “I cannot take credit for that, unfortunately.”
The YouTube host, 33, recalled when Musk, 53, represented himself as a “liberal darling” who showed concern for helping the Earth go green with electric vehicles.
“[Elon Musk] was not a liberal darling,” Wilson alleged.
“I f–king know him, he was never on the left. It was a marketing scheme,” she further claimed, adding that his automotive and clean energy company is a “Ponzi scheme.”
Vivian claimed her father has been “right-wing since at least 2016,” though she doesn’t believe he was ever left-wing.
“People think that we live in a novel and that [my transition] is some tragic character motivation. This is not a novel. I am not the reason,” she declared.
The Teen Vogue cover star said she believes the Covid-19 pandemic hugely affected Musk’s current ideology, as he was one of several people who spoke out against Covid protocols and the vaccine.
“One of the last interactions we ever had was arguing about wearing a mask,” Vivian recalled. ”He sent me this gif of a sheep and said, ‘Stop being sheeple.’ It was cringe.””
Page Six has reached out to a rep for Musk for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Musk and his first wife, Justine Wilson, welcomed twins Griffin and Vivian in April 2004 via IVF.
Vivian, whose birth name was Xavier, came out as transgender in June 2022 when she filed a request to change her first name and take her mum’s last name.
The filing listed the reason as “gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
Two years later, the X owner claimed he was “essentially tricked into signing documents” to allow Vivian to have gender reassignment.
“This is before I had any understanding of what was going on. Covid was going on, so there was a lot of confusion, and I was told Xavier might commit suicide if he doesn’t [make the change],” he told psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson in a Daily Wire interview in July 2024.
Musk, who is also a dad to 13 other kids, said Vivian was “killed by the woke-mind virus.”
It came after Vivian last month slammed the tech mogul as a “pathetic man-child.”
During a lengthy interview with Teen Vogue, Wilson shared her candid feelings about the Tesla CEO when asked if she’s “scared” of him.
“He’s a pathetic man-child,” Wilson quipped. “Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. 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.”
“I don’t give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. OK. Congratulations,” she continued.
The 20-year-old acknowledged that most people “thrive off of fear,” but she’s “not giving anyone that space in [her] mind.”
“The only thing that gets to live free in my mind are drag queens,” she joked.
Wilson also addressed her dad’s new-found political involvement with US President Donald Trump and her reaction to him heading the Department of Government Efficiency.
“I’ll see things about him in the news and think, ‘That’s f**king cringe, I should probably post about this and denounce it,’ which I have done a few times,” she said.
Wilson specifically pointed out a gesture Musk, 53, made during a Trump rally that some people compared to a Nazi salute. Both Musk and the Anti-Defamation League have denied that he was mimicking the infamous salute.
“The Nazi salute s**t was insane,” Wilson told Teen Vogue. “Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was. That s**t was definitely a Nazi salute. The crowd is equally to blame, and I feel like people are not talking about that. That crowd should be denounced.”
However, Wilson said that “other than that,” she still does “not give a f**k about him.”
“It’s annoying that people associate me with him,” she admitted. “I just don’t have any room to care anymore.”
Wilson confirmed that she and Musk have not spoken since 2020. She told the outlet she does “not keep up” with the eight children that Musk fathered with other women.
“I will say I do not actually know how many siblings I have, if you include half-siblings,” she admitted. “I don’t really give a f**k what they do. This is not my problem, OK?”
