Vivian Jenna Wilson, one of Elon Musk's several children, decided to sever ties with her father in 2022. She filed a petition for gender correction and a name change, expressing a desire to cut ties with her biological father.

In an interview with "Teen Vogue," she emphasised her desire to make an impact on the world, especially concerning support for the trans community and the promotion of transgender rights.

Criticism of Elon Musk

Vivian did not hold back sharp words towards Musk.

He's a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Oh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don't [care]. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling – "Vogue" quotes Vivian Jenna Wilson.

Musk's daughter emphasised that her father's material status and influence do not matter to her. She is currently studying in Tokyo and admits that she is not interested in her father's life. Sometimes, however, she does hear news about him.

I'll see things about him in the news [and think], That's ... cringe, I should probably post about this and denounce it – she added.

life outside her father's shadow

The 20-year-old is trying to step out of Elon Musk's shadow, focusing on her own goals and values.

As a trans woman, I am terrified of losing access to guaranteed medical care. If I didn't medically transition at the age I did, I don't know what would've happened. I don't feel like people realize that being trans is not a choice. I'm so sorry to break it to you – Wilson appeals.

Even though she cannot specify how many half-siblings she has, she is not interested in this aspect of her father's life.
