Elon Musk’s estranged daughter accuses him of hypocrisy and bigotry
Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has openly criticized the Tesla billionaire, accusing him of trying to rebrand himself as a family man with Christian values. In a scathing attack, Wilson described Musk as a habitual liar, a serial cheater, and a bigot who has faced multiple discrimination lawsuits.
The controversy
The controversy began when Musk posted a throwback video of his family on X, writing, “All 5 boys super happy.” In response, Wilson launched her critique on Meta-owned Threads, avoiding Musk’s platform.
Wilson, who came out as transgender in 2022 and changed her name from Xavier to Vivian, has faced Musk’s public disapproval of her gender reassignment. Last month, Musk vowed to destroy the “woke mind virus,” which he claimed “killed” his son.
Allegations of harassment and misrepresentation
Wilson accused her father of relentlessly harassing her over her sexuality and femininity while growing up. She also claimed that Musk uses her situation to gain sympathy, misgendering her in the process. “Just won’t stop lying about me in interviews, books, social media,” Wilson wrote, challenging Musk’s portrayal of himself as a “caring paternal father.”
Questioning Musk’s values and integrity
Wilson further accused Musk of rebranding himself as a “Western values/Christian family man,” a claim she disputes. “You are not a family man, you are a serial adulterer who won’t stop lying about your own children. You are not a Christian; as far as I’m aware, you’ve never stepped foot in a church,” she wrote.
Wilson also recalled an incident from her childhood, alleging that Musk called Arabic the “language of the enemy.” She questioned Musk’s commitment to environmental causes, accusing him of using climate change and the idea of a multi-planetary civilization as a facade. “You are not ‘saving the planet,’ you do not care about climate change, and you’re lying about multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse and because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready Player One,” Wilson stated.
A complex family dynamic
Vivian Jenna Wilson’s public denunciation adds another layer to the complex and often contentious relationship between Elon Musk and his children. As Musk continues to be a polarizing figure, Wilson’s allegations provide a personal glimpse into the familial discord behind the public persona of one of the world’s most influential tech entrepreneurs.
