Donald Trump celebrated his election victory with none other than tech mogul Elon Musk, but not everyone in Musk’s family is sharing in the joy.
Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk’s daughter, has made it clear she’s not sticking around to watch Trump’s second term.
“I don’t see my future being in the United States,” Vivian says on Threads.
When Donald Trump prepares for his second term in the White House, some celebrities have vowed to leave the United States if he returns to power. Among the names that made headlines are Cher, Sharon Stone, Barbra Streisand, and Whoopi Goldberg. But with Trump’s victory now confirmed, will these promises hold true?
One person who seems set on following through is Vivian Wilson – Elon Musk’s daughter.
Vivian Wilson legally changed her name and gender in 2022, says she plans to leave the country after Trump’s win.
”I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States. Even if he’s only in office for 4 years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon,” Vivian writes on Threads.
Two years ago, Vivian, who was born Xavier Musk, made headlines with her decision to distance herself from her billionaire father.
”I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form.”, she stated.
Vivian’s decision to adopt her mother’s surname was part of a broader effort to break ties with her high-profile father.
Musk, the father of 12 children, has publicly expressed his discomfort with his child’s transition and his strained relationship with her.
Controversial remarks on her transition
Speaking about the situation in an interview in July, Musk controversially stated that his “son” was now “de-ad.”
“It happened to one of my older boys, where I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys,” Musk said.
According to him, the transition occurred during the C-0V-ID-19 pandemic, a time he described as full of confusion and misinformation. Musk continued that he was told that his child might commit s-ui-cid-e if the transition didn’t happen. “This is before I had any understanding of what was going on,” he added.
Elon Musk, an outspoken figure in support of Trump, further attributed his child’s decision to what he referred to as the “woke mind virus.”
In his eyes, the influence of this ideology resulted in his son’s decision, which he claims resulted in his “d-ea-t-h.”
As the drama surrounding his family continues, the tensions between Musk and Vivian highlight a larger cultural divide in the U.S. that mirrors the political upheaval.
While Vivian plans to distance herself from her father’s legacy, her father remains steadfast in his controversial beliefs, making his stance on gender identity and his relationship with his child a topic of constant debate.
As for Vivian’s move? It remains to be seen whether she’ll really follow through on her vow to leave the country.
