Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has spoken out against her father in a bold new interview. Speaking to Teen Vogue, the 19-year-old didn’t hold back. Her words painted a harsh picture of the tech billionaire. This marks the most public and pointed criticism yet.
Vivian, who changed her name in 2022, made her feelings crystal clear. She said she wanted nothing to do with Musk and rejected his last name entirely. Her reason? “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way,” she stated during her legal name change.
In her interview, she took things even further. She openly called Musk a “pathetic man-child.” When asked if she feared him, her response was cutting. “Why should I be scared of someone who’s just a rich guy?” she said. “Oh no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here.“
A Deep Personal and Political Rift
Vivian’s remarks come during a time of rising public criticism of Musk. His online behavior, political opinions, and public actions have sparked plenty of backlash. But her comments stand out. They offer a personal, raw perspective from someone once close to him.
She also touched on politics. Vivian expressed deep discomfort with her father’s influence during Donald Trump’s presidency. She found the political climate under Trump—and Musk’s involvement in it—”terrifying.” She didn’t hold back. Calling it “cartoonishly evil,” she suggested Musk’s role went far beyond business.
But the criticism didn’t stop there. Elon Musk’s estranged daughter also addressed a recent controversy involving Musk allegedly making a Nazi salute at a rally. Many saw the gesture as offensive and dangerous. Vivian didn’t mince words. “Let’s call a spade a f***ing spade,” she said. She condemned both the act and the audience’s reaction.
