Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter Reflects on Coming Out as Trans and How Her Parents Reacted Differently

Elon Musk's Estranged Daughter Says Mom Justine Wilson 'Doesn't Really' Keep Up with the Tesla CEO: 'She's Divorced, Werk'

Vivian Wilson, daughter of Elon Musk and Justine Wilson, recently opened up about the contrasting responses she received from her parents when she came out as transgender in 2020.

In an interview with Teen Vogue published on March 20, Vivian, 20, shared that her mother, Justine Wilson, was highly supportive, while her father, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, was not.

“She was very supportive of my transition,” Vivian said of her mom, 52. “She’s a published writer of supernatural romance fiction, which is where I get all my Vivian-isms.”

Recalling the moment she came out to Justine, Vivian said her mother’s reaction was both understanding and unsurprised. “She kind of [figured it out] beforehand, so when I told her, she pretended to be slightly surprised for 30 seconds and then said, ‘Yeah, honey. Okay.’”

However, her experience with Musk, 53, was markedly different. “He was not as supportive as my mom,” she admitted. “First of all, I hadn’t spoken to him in months, and I needed parental consent to get testosterone blockers and hormone replacement therapy.”

Vivian first announced her identity through an Instagram Stories post in 2020. “I said, ‘I’m trans. She/her pronouns,’” she recalled, adding that she also included a Hunger Games reference, asking followers if they were “Team Peeta or Team Gale.” Reflecting on her past self, she joked, “I was cringe. I have never not been cringe.”

Her journey toward coming out reached a breaking point one night. “It was 11 p.m., and I knew for a fact I was trans. I had known for months, and I just couldn’t keep it inside anymore,” she said. “Puberty was hitting, my life was falling apart, and I was having constant mental breakdowns in class. I didn’t want to wake up, I didn’t want to do anything. I just wanted to rot.”

Looking back, she wishes she had come out to her mother first rather than social media. “I do regret that. If I could do it again, she deserves to be the first one to know,” she admitted.

Currently, Vivian maintains a good relationship with her mother. “She’s been supportive of my choices in college and about being public,” she said.

As for her relationship with Musk, the estrangement remains.
