# Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter Speaks Out: ‘I Can No Longer Remain Silent’
In a series of now-deleted tweets, Musk’s 20-year-old daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, responded to her father’s recent comments about her, marking the latest development in their strained relationship. Wilson, who is the daughter of Musk and his first wife, Justine Wilson, changed her last name from Musk to Wilson in 2021 and has largely stayed out of the public eye until now. In her tweets, she expressed her disappointment in her father’s actions and her desire to distance herself from him and his reputation.
“I would like to address a few things regarding my biological father, Elon. I have lived a very quiet life, and I have never sought press or media attention. Growing up, every time there was an article online about my dad, my siblings, or me, I was extremely uncomfortable,” Wilson wrote. She went on to say that she has “never done anything to purposefully attract attention,” and that she has “always valued privacy and kept myself out of the public eye.”
However, she said, “I can no longer stand by and allow these horrendous actions to go unchecked.” Referring to Musk’s recent comments about her, Wilson wrote, “I no longer wish to be associated with my biological father in any way, shape, or form.” She continued, “I would like to make a plea to my father, to the public, and to those who know him. Expressing hate towards me and misgendering me are two different things, but both are unacceptable.”
Wilson’s tweets come after Musk took to Twitter to rant about his daughter. In now-deleted tweets, Musk wrote, “I had a weird childhood. My parents and teachers were constantly telling me how great I was, so I grew up with an inflated sense of self-importance. I’m constantly embarrassed by how I acted back then. I bet a lot of parents wish their kids came with a warning label!” Many interpreted these tweets as a response to Wilson’s decision to cut ties with him and her recent public criticism of his treatment of her.
The strain between Musk and his daughter has been ongoing. In a 2022 interview with The Independent, Justine Wilson revealed that Musk had not seen their daughter in “many years.” She also shared that he had refused to attend her high school graduation, which she described as “heartbreaking.” Additionally, Wilson has expressed support for transgender individuals and has criticized her father’s comments and actions regarding transgender issues.
While Musk has not publicly responded to his daughter’s recent tweets, this latest development in their relationship has certainly captured the attention of the public and media alike. As the drama unfolds, many are left wondering if this father-daughter relationship can be mended or if the rift between them will only widen.
