Elon Musk’s Transgender Daughter Vivian Wilson Denies Claims About Her Childhood.
Vivian Wilson, daughter of Elon Musk, recently took to Threads to counter her father’s remarks regarding her gender transition. The dispute unfolded after Musk commented on Wilson’s transition and name change during an interview, which rapidly spread on social media.
Elon Musk, in his statements, claimed he was “tricked” into signing documents allowing Wilson to receive puberty blockers and continued to misgender her by using her birth name and male pronouns. He asserted that his “son” was lost to the “woke mind virus.” Musk’s comments included a post where he described Wilson as being “born gay and slightly autistic” and recounted that she enjoyed picking out clothes for him as a child, labeling them as “fabulous.”
Vivian Wilson, who is transgender, rebuffed her estranged father’s narrative. She emphasized that Musk’s depiction of her childhood and their interactions was inaccurate and fabricated. In her Threads posts, she asserted that her father had little involvement in her upbringing and that the times he was present were marked by harassment over her femininity and sexuality.

“This entire thing is completely made up and there’s a reason for this. He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness,” Wilson wrote.
Vivian Wilson, who legally changed her name and gender in 2022, addressed Musk’s claim about her being “born gay and slightly autistic” by calling it entirely false. She suggested Musk’s account might have been influenced by stereotypes rather than reality, labeling it as an attempt to gain sympathy.
“There’s a lot of stuff I need to debunk which I will get to don’t worry, but I want to start with what I find the funniest which is the notorious ‘slightly autistic’ tweet. This is entirely fake,” she wrote in a second post. “Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever. I don’t even know where he got this from. My best guess is that he went to the Milo [Yiannopoulos] school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random, and said ‘eh- good enough’ in a last-ditch attempt to garner sympathy points when he is so obviously in the wrong even in his own f***ing story.”
Musk’s recent conversation with psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson also stirred controversy, where Musk vowed to combat the “woke mind virus” that he claimed had taken his son. He reiterated his stance that he had been deceived into consenting to puberty blockers for Wilson.
Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk's daughter, completely destroys him & his blatant lies and commits patricide.

Hope his other kids eventually follow suit. Justine already hates his guts. The dude is a terrible human being in general and this world is better off without him.$TSLA $TWTR pic.twitter.com/439z15Glms
Wilson, now 20, mocked Musk’s description of her childhood interests, pointing out the implausibility of his claims. She highlighted that children typically don’t engage in the kind of behaviors Musk described, especially at the tender age of four.
Regarding her name change and gender transition, Vivian Wilson expressed a desire to sever ties with Elon Musk. During the legal process in 2022, she indicated she did not want any association with her father. At that time, Musk had already criticized the use of preferred pronouns and indicated political support for figures opposing LGBTQ+ rights, further straining their relationship.
JUST IN: Elon Musk says his son is "dead" thanks to the woke mind virus after he was put on puberty blockers, says he vowed to "destroy the woke mind virus after that."

Wilson concluded her rebuttal by dismissing Elon Musk’s opinions on her gender, noting that she is legally recognized as female in California and has no concern for his views. She characterized Musk as being lost in a “ketamine-fueled haze,” seeking attention and validation from a certain subset of his followers.
Vivian Wilson’s statements highlight a deep personal rift with Elon Musk, challenging the authenticity of his public claims and shedding light on the complexities of their strained relationship.
