"My son is dead." Elon Musk's transgender daughter reacted to her father's loud statement and told her version

Elon Musk's 20-year-old transgender daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson reacted to her father's statement, who spoke harshly about her gender reassignment. The 53-year-old entrepreneur made his comment during a conversation with psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson, which was broadcast on his X platform.

Tesla's CEO claimed that he was "tricked" into allowing Wilson to undergo transgender-related treatment when she was 16, adding: "I essentially lost my son. They don't call it 'murder' for nothing. They should call it 'death' because your son is dead." This was reported by People.

Vivian, who legally filed for a name and gender change in 2022, denied Musk's remarks in an interview with NBC News, calling it a "lie." "I think he was assuming that I wasn't going to say anything and I was just going to leave it at that," she said, "which I'm not going to do, because if you're blatantly lying about me to an audience of millions, I'm not going to let it go.

The billionaire's daughter, who told the publication that she first came out as gay in eighth grade, said Musk "knew about all the side effects" of her treatment, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy.

Adding that they hadn't spoken to their father in about four years, she noted that Elon spent "maybe 10% of his time with her as a child." "That's generous. He had half custody and he was completely absent. It was just a fact of life at the time, so I don't think I realized how abnormal an experience it was," Vivian said.

What is known about Musk's transgender daughter

Vivian, who was named Xavier at birth, was born with her twin brother Griffin in 2004 in California. All of Musk's children attended the extremely expensive Crossroads K-12 school in Santa Monica, where annual tuition costs up to $50,000, the Daily Mail reports.

Despite the fact that the entrepreneur spent hundreds of thousands to educate Wilson and her siblings, father and daughter are reportedly not close. In addition, she tried to hide her true gender identity from her father for several years. Musk himself has publicly criticized her political views, claiming that she believes that all rich people are evil.

According to court records, Vivian officially adopted her mother's maiden name, Justine, at the age of 18. She filed a petition to change her name and legal gender and stated that she "no longer wishes to be associated" with her father "in any way." A Santa Monica judge issued a new birth certificate reflecting her changed name and gender, and the decision simply states: "Xavier Alexander Musk – Vivian Jenna Wilson. The applicant's gender has been changed from male to female."
