Meet Elon Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson – who he describes as a ‘communist who thinks anyone rich is evil’

For Elon Musk, his relationship with his transgender daughter has been strained in recent years.

And his latest outburst, calling Vivian Jenna Wilson, 19, a “communist” who thinks “anyone who’s rich is bad,” has suggested their relationship has hit a new low.

The 19-year-old last year legally changed her gender to female and her name from “Xavier” to Vivian Jenna Wilson, while revealing in court documents that she “in no way” wants to be related to Musk.

While the South African billionaire was “generally optimistic” about his daughter’s transition, he has since blasted her, calling her a “communist” and blaming her political views for the expensive private high school she attended.

But according to an excerpt from an upcoming biography of Musk, published this week in the Wall Street Journal, it is claimed that the rift between Tesla CEO and Vivian “Hurned him more than anything in his life since the infant death of his firstborn child Nevada,” who was just ten weeks old from SIDS.

Even more confusing, he tweeted in 2020, “I absolutely support transgender, but all these pronouns are an aesthetic nightmare.” And: ‘Pronouns are worthless.’

So who exactly is Vivian Jenna Wilson? MailOnline delves deep into her life to find out who she is and why she and her father have such a strained relationship.

Named ‘Xavier’ at birth, Vivian was born in 2004 to Elon Musk and his then-wife Justine

Who is Vivian Jenna Wilson, daughter of Elon Musk?

Vivian, who was named Xavier at birth, was born to twins in California in 2004 with her brother Griffin, three years ahead of her younger siblings, Kai, Saxon and Damian, who are all 17.

All of Musk’s children attended the hugely expensive Crossroads K-12 school in Santa Monica, where annual tuition costs up to $50,000.

Although he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on her and her siblings’ education, the couple is reportedly not close, with text messages revealing that she spent years hiding her true gender identity from her father.

In addition, he has since publicly criticized her and her political views, claiming that she believes all rich people are evil.

Why did Vivian Jenna Wilson change her name?

Vivian, who was named Xavier at birth, officially adopted her mother’s maiden name, Justine, at age 18 in 2022, according to court documents.

She filed a petition to change both her name and legal gender, and was quoted as saying she “doesn’t want to be related in any way anymore” to her father.

A judge in Santa Monica issued a new birth certificate reflecting her changed name and gender, with their ruling simply reading: “Xavier Alexander Musk to Vivian Jenna Wilson. The sex of the petitioner will be changed from male to female.’

Vivian filed the petition just three days after her 18th birthday, though the court documents weren’t made public until the day after Father’s Day.

In a tweet the night her daughter’s petition was granted, mom Justine said, “I had a weird childhood,” my 18-year-old told me.

“I can’t believe I look as normal as I do.” “I said, ‘I’m very proud of you.’ ‘I am proud of myself!”

Meanwhile, on Father’s Day ahead of the unveiling of her files, Musk tweeted, “I love all my kids so much.”

She was a private woman and was not noticed in public until several months after her request was granted.

She was spotted on a short shopping trip in Santa Monica, donning a brown T-shirt with a yellow pattern on it, black sweatpants and a pair of sneakers. She wore a face mask and kept her long, wavy blonde hair loose.

Musk has openly admitted that he and his daughter are no longer close

Why did Elon Musk call Vivian Jenna Wilson a communist?

Elon Musk sent her to a hugely expensive Santa Monica K-12 elementary school called Crossroads, which costs parents $50,000 a year to send their kids there.

He blamed her education at the progressive California school in part on her political views, telling his biographer, “She went beyond socialism and became a full-blown communist and thought that everyone who is rich is evil.”

He also blamed “neo-Marxist” colleges for the rift between himself and Vivian, once against the FT in 2022 that she refused to be a part of his life due to the alleged takeover of elite institutions by leftist academics.

How Is Elon Musk’s Relationship With Vivian Jenna Wilson?

While he hasn’t said much about his relationship with his daughter, what he has said paints a painful picture of alienation.

Vivian reportedly came out as transgender via text message to her aunt when she was 16, but pleaded with her to keep her gender identity hidden from her father: “Hey, I’m transgender and my name is Jenna now. Don’t tell my father.’

Musk said during an interview with the FT in 2020 that while his relationship with his daughter “may change…I have a very good relationship with everyone else (kids).”

“I can’t win them all,” he added.

More recently, he told his biographer that his attempts to win her over were unsuccessful.

“I’ve made a lot of overtures, but she doesn’t want to spend time with me,” he said.
