Vivian Jenna Wilson is the transgender child of controversial billionaire, Elon Musk.
She was born a twin along with her brother Griffin in 2004, three years before her younger siblings Kai, Saxon and Damian.
Vivian was at birth named Xavier but filed for a change of name three days after her 18th birthday in 2022 while also officially adopting her mother’s maiden name.
Vivian relationship with her father, Musk
After filing a petition to change both her name and legal gender, a court ruling approving the petition reads; “Xavier Alexander Musk to Vivian Jenna Wilson. The gender of the petitioner is changed from male to female.”
Text messages obtained by various media reports she tried to hide her true gender identity from her dad for several years.
Vivian reportedly came out as transgender via text to her aunt when she was 16, but implored her to keep her gender identity from her father: “Hey, I’m transgender, and my name is now Jenna. Don’t tell my dad.”
Musk said during an interview with the FT in 2020 that while his relationship with his daughter “may change… I have very good relationships with all the others [children].”
“Can’t win them all,” he added.
More recently, he told his biographer that his attempts at winning her over have not been successful.
“I’ve made many overtures, but she doesn’t want to spend time with me,” he said.
Meanwhile, reacting to Assembly Bill 1955, which enables schools to keep a child’s sexual orientation or gender identity confidential from their parents, signed by California Governor, Gavin Newsom, into law on Monday, July 15, 2024, Musk said he was “tricked” into granting permission for his child to undergo puberty blockers.
“It’s evil. You’re taking kids who are far below the age of consent. It’s very possible for adults to manipulate children who are having an actual identity crisis into believing that they are the wrong gender,” Musk disclosed in a live interview with psychologist Jordan Peterson on X on Monday.
Musk added, “Well, it happened to one of my older boys. I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told Xavier might commit suicide.”
Reacting to Musk’s comment, Vivian said; “I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged,” Wilson said in a phone interview. “Which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
Wilson said that, for as long as she could remember, Musk hasn’t been a supportive father. She said he was rarely present in her life, leaving her and her siblings to be cared for by their mother or by nannies even though Musk had joint custody, and she said Musk berated her when he was present.
“He was cold,” she said. “He’s very quick to anger. He is uncaring and narcissistic.”
Wilson said that, when she was a child, Musk would harass her for exhibiting feminine traits and pressure her to appear more masculine, including by pushing her to deepen her voice as early as elementary school.
“I was in fourth grade. We went on this road trip that I didn’t know was actually just an advertisement for one of the cars — I don’t remember which one — and he was constantly yelling at me viciously because my voice was too high,” she said. “It was cruel.”
Similarly in a series of posts on Threads, Wilson posted; “Elon was your darling Tony Stark apartheid-american hero with a semi-tragic backstory who was saving the world and you were too f*cking cowardly to write anything other than a sad excuse for a puff-piece,” Wilson wrote.
“To further this goal, you portrayed me in a light that is genuinely defamatory and I’m not going to mince my words.
“I was treated as a VILLAIN BACKSTORY-ORIGIN to excuse or explain away his behavior. As if my whole existence was nothing but an inconvenience to HIM.”
Wilson stated that she was deadnamed and misgendered throughout the biography of Musk authored by Walter Isaacson.
“I go by Vivian by the way, not Jenna as the book implies,” she wrote. “Jenna is what my friends from high school and my mom calls me. If you genuinely knew what you were talking about that’s how you would’ve referred to me.”
“I know that you claim that you ‘reached out to me through family members’ but I found out about this thing’s existence literally a MONTH before it was released,” Wilson said. “So either you are completely f*cking incompetent at the most basic aspects of your ‘job’, or you are weaponizing your own lack of effort to try to lift the blame off of yourself because you knew damn well what you were doing.”
What, Wilson alleged, he was doing was trying to “catch headlines as part of this culture war bullsh*t” by portraying her in a negative light.
“You knew that I was gonna be used as an example of ‘how the children are being brainwashed by the trans agenda’ because you did it yourself and then proceeded to blast it to every news organization to use as an ad to sell more copies,” Wilson wrote.
“The fact that this book may have been used as justification by parents to not let their trans child obtain potentially life-saving medical treatment f*cking HAUNTS me. It always will.”
Where is Vivian Jenna Wilson?
Vivian is a private woman. She was not spotted in public until several months after the petition to change her legal name and gender was granted in 2022.
She granted an exclusive interview to NBC News in 2024 to respond to her father’s claim that he was tricked into authorizing trans-related medical treatment for her when she was 16.
There has been no report of her been spotted in public since then.
