Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter Slams Him as “Pathetic Man-Child,” Calls Out Controversial Salute in Candid Teen Vogue Interview
Vivian Jenna Wilson, the 20-year-old estranged daughter of Elon Musk, is once again making headlines—this time for fiercely condemning her father in an unfiltered interview with Teen Vogue.
Wilson, who legally changed her name and cut ties with Musk in 2020, has been vocal in the past about her father’s history of anti-trans rhetoric. In the March 20 interview, she reveals that she hasn’t spoken to Musk in nearly five years—a fact she greets with relief: “Thank God.”
Known for speaking her mind, Wilson didn’t hold back when asked if she feared the tech billionaire. “He’s a pathetic man-child,” she said. “Why would I be scared of him? Because he’s rich? Oh no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don’t give a [expletive] how much money anyone has.”
Wilson also reflected on Musk’s past remarks, including when he deadnamed her and told Jordan Peterson his “son” was “killed by the woke mind virus.” In a series of July 2024 Threads posts, she accused Musk of having “relentlessly harassed” her for her “femininity and queerness” during childhood.
The Teen Vogue piece took a sharper turn when Wilson addressed Musk’s widely criticized straight-arm gesture at a celebration tied to Trump’s second inauguration. “The Nazi salute [expletive] was insane,” she said. “Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was.”
Musk has dismissed the allegations, calling the outrage a smear campaign orchestrated by political enemies. “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” he wrote on X. “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”
Wilson, however, isn’t buying it. “That [expletive] was definitely a Nazi salute,” she concluded.
With sharp words and unwavering conviction, Wilson continues to publicly distance herself from one of the world’s most powerful—and controversial—figures.
