Vivian Wilson, daughter of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has publicly criticized her father following his controversial remarks about her transition. During an interview with conservative commentator Jordan Peterson, Musk claimed he was “tricked into signing documents” for Vivian’s transition and suggested she was “killed” by the “woke mind virus.” His comments have sparked significant backlash, with Vivian taking to social media to refute his statements and share her side of the story.
Responding on the platform Threads, Vivian accused Musk of fabricating details about her childhood, including claims about her picking out clothes and loving musical theatre. She described these assertions as “entirely fake” and indicative of Musk’s lack of presence during her upbringing. Her rebuttal was direct, highlighting the disconnect between her actual experiences and her father’s portrayal.
Vivian Challenges Musk’s Claims
Vivian dismissed Musk’s anecdotes as stereotypical and unfounded. She stated, “This is entirely fake. Like, literally none of this ever happened. Ever.” She further speculated that her father might have resorted to using stereotypes to garner sympathy, calling it a “last-ditch attempt” to validate his controversial stance. Vivian emphasized that Musk’s narrative did not reflect her true interests or personality.
She also pointed out the inconsistencies in Musk’s story, particularly his claims about her being into musical theatre and picking out jackets. “My best guess is that he went to the Milo Yiannopoulis school of gay stereotypes, just picked some at random and said ‘eh- good enough,'” she wrote. Vivian’s straightforward approach underscored her frustration with Musk’s misleading statements.

Vivian highlighted her father’s absence during her formative years, accusing him of not knowing her well enough to make such claims. “He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn’t there,” she wrote. This absence, she suggested, contributed to his reliance on stereotypes rather than genuine understanding. Vivian also mentioned the harassment she faced due to her femininity and queerness, adding to the complexity of her relationship with Musk.
Despite Musk’s public comments, Vivian remains firm in her identity. She stated, “I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California and I don’t concern myself with the opinions of those who are below me.” This assertion reflects her confidence and resilience in the face of her father’s disparaging remarks.
Desperate Search for Validation and Attention

I knew that from when he was about 4 years old and he would pick out clothes for me to wear like a jacket and tell me it was “fabulous!”, as well as his love of musicals & theatre.…

In her post, Vivian accused Musk of seeking attention and validation from his online following. She wrote:
“Obviously Elon can’t say the same because in a ketamine-fueled haze, he’s desperate for attention and validation.”
Musk’s recent admission of using ketamine to manage depression further complicates his public image, adding another layer to his contentious remarks about gender-affirming care.
During his interview with Peterson, Musk claimed he was misled about the nature of puberty blockers, describing them as “sterilization drugs.” He further alleged that he was told Vivian “might commit suicide,” intensifying his attack on gender-affirming care. These statements have been widely criticized for their inaccuracy and insensitivity.

Musk’s comments have reignited the debate over gender-affirming care, with critics arguing that his views are harmful and misleading. His portrayal of gender dysphoria as a result of being “born gay and slightly autistic” has been particularly contentious.
