Elon Musk’s transgender child hits back, calls him a ‘cold’ and ‘cruel’ dad who’d scream at her high-pitched voice
Elon Musk’s transgender child has hit back at her dad, saying she was effectively “killed” by transitioning — accusing him of being a “cold” and “cruel” parent who would scream in anger at her for being too feminine while growing up.
Vivian Jenna Wilson, 20, ripped her estranged dad following the Tesla mogul’s explosive interview and posts to his 190 million followers on X claiming he had “lost my son” who was “killed by the woke mind virus.”

“I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged,” Wilson told NBC News in a phone interview.
“Which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
Wilson condemned Musk as an absent father who “was cold” and claimed he harassed her for exhibiting feminine traits in elementary school, when she was still known as Xavier.
“I was in fourth grade. We went on this road trip that I didn’t know was actually just an advertisement for one of the cars — I don’t remember which one — and he was constantly yelling at me viciously because my voice was too high,” Wilson said.
“It was cruel.”
Wilson added: “He’s very quick to anger. He is uncaring and narcissistic.”
Musk first spoke of his feelings of losing Wilson — one of six kids with ex-wife Justine Wilson — in a Daily Wire interview with psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson.
The 53-year-old billionaire claimed he’d been “tricked” into approving trans-related medical treatment when his child was 16, calling it “incredibly evil” action by people who should go to prison.
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it ‘deadnaming’ for a reason. The reason they call it ‘deadnaming’ is because your son is dead. My son, Xavier, is dead — killed by the woke mind virus,” he said.
“I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that,” he said.

The SpaceX founder — who boasts a net worth of nearly $200 billion — followed up with a message to his 190 million followers.
“Xavier was born gay and slightly autistic, two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria,” the SpaceX mogul wrote.
“I knew that from when he was about 4 years old and he would pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was ‘fabulous!’, as well as his love of musicals & theatre.

“But he was not a girl.”
Musk’s child made headlines in 2022 with the initial petition to a California court to change name and gender.
As well as dropping the surname Musk, the mogul’s child filed to lose any association with her famous father, saying she “no longer lives with or wishes to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
Musk said his experience with his child Xavier, who now goes by Vivian Jenna Wilson, opened his eyes to what he called “the woke mind virus,” which he has since vowed to “destroy.”
