BREAKING: Elon Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson has taken a brutal swipe at her father in a new interview that went viral on Teen Vogue, saying “the Nazi salute is crazy” and “I wouldn’t …/hi
She slammed him as a “pathetic man-child” and she wasn’t even close to done there…
When asked by the magazine about her relationship with her MAGA oligarch father, Vivian — who changed her surname to Wilson because she “doesn’t “wish to be related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form” — stated that she rarely thinks about him.
“I’m not giving anyone that space in my mind. The only thing that gets to live free in my mind is drag queens,” she joked.
Wilson, who is transgender, pushed back hard against the MAGA war on trans Americans, saying: “I don’t feel like people realize that being trans is not a choice.”
“Obviously, it’s not just trans people that are affected by the current administration,” she said, adding that “marginalized groups such as undocumented immigrants and people of color” are also at risk.
“[I’m] really trying to do more advocacy on that front, since the current administration has kind of been like a wrecking ball in that regard,” she added.
Teen Vogue also took a shot at Elon Musk’s infamously embarrassing social media presence, asking Wilson about the fact that right-wingers are “actually pretty bad at posting.”
“They’re not funny. You have to be funny,” replied Wilson. “Most of them have the charisma of a soaking bathrobe. I mean, it’s not my fault that most of them don’t know how to be funny. It’s not that hard.”
When asked if she thinks that America is moving in the “right direction,” Wilson didn’t hold back.
“In terms of politics? No. It’s terrifying,” she said. “Every time I open my phone to read the news, I kind of just stare at the wall for 10 minutes. It’s horrifying what they’re doing, not only to the trans community, but also to migrants, to communities of color, to so many marginalized communities that are being systematically targeted by the new administration and having protections revoked. It’s cartoonishly evil.”
Teen Vogue then asked her if political discussion, particularly about her father, dominates her day-to-day life—
“No, it doesn’t. It really doesn’t,” replied Wilson. “I mean, I’ll see things about him in the news and think, That’s f*cking cringe, I should probably post about this and denounce it, which I have done a few times.”
“The Nazi salute sh*t was insane,” she went on. “Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was. That sh*t was definitely a Nazi salute. The crowd is equally to blame, and I feel like people are not talking about that. That crowd should be denounced.”
“But other than that, I don’t give a f**k about him. I really don’t,” she continued. “It’s annoying that people associate me with him. I just don’t have any room to care anymore.”
“When I initially did the whole thing, when he came for me, the Jordan Peterson interview, that was the most cathartic moment of my entire life by far,” she said. “I had all this pent-up energy, I had wanted to speak out for so long after being [essentially] defamed in a book, after being doxxed.”
“Everything that had gone on — especially in my childhood — when that finally happened, it was the most cathartic experience I have ever had,” she continued. “And then I was like, Okay, whatever.”
“Do you ever feel scared? He’s the richest man in the world,” asked Teen Vogue.
“He’s a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him?” replied Wilson. “Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don’t give a f*ck. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? Oh, no, I’m trembling.”
“Ooh, shivering in my boots here,” she joked. “I don’t give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.”
“People thrive off of fear,” Wilson added. “I’m not giving anyone that space in my mind. The only thing that gets to live free in my mind are drag queens.”
Teen Vogue asked her for more specifics on her politics, particularly if she considers herself a Marxist.
“I’m a leftist, not a Marxist. I describe myself by the things that I personally believe in and the things that I feel are pretty common sense, if you think about it for more than two seconds,” said Wilson.
“I believe in [universal basic income]. I believe in free health care. I believe food, shelter, and water are human rights,” she continued. “I believe that wealth inequality is one of the biggest problems of the United States right now, especially of our generation.”
“I feel like workers should be fairly compensated for the work that they do, and I don’t feel like wealth should be hoarded by these mega-billionaires who are the top 1%, who only have their own interests at heart,” she said. “I’ve met some of these billionaires — they’re not very good people. I don’t think any of them are.”
“Do you think your parents influenced your politics?” asked Teen Vogue.
“Seeing that kind of wealth — extravagant wealth — firsthand, while living in Los Angeles and seeing the [huge] homelessness problem, the wealth gap…” said Wilson. “You start to wonder, How is this fair? You have to inevitably come to the conclusion it’s not. There is no world in which people should be owning multiple private planes, private islands, private whatever, while other people are sleeping on the street.”
Recapping her relationship with her father, Wilson was succint—
“I haven’t talked to him since 2020. That was almost half a decade ago at this point. Thank God,” she said.
