Elon Musk - famous businessman and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX - often appears in the news because of his groundbreaking projects or controversial statements.

But this time the focus was not on him, but on his daughter, who had just made a splashy debut at New York Fashion Week. The event quickly became the subject of widespread discussion.

Vivian Jenna Wilson becomes the center of attention

Vivian Jenna Wilson is one of Elon Musk's six children with Canadian writer Justine Wilson, his first wife. After her parents divorced in 2008, she lived apart from Elon Musk.

In June 2022, shortly after her 18th birthday, Vivian filed a petition to change her name and gender, publicly identifying herself as transgender, stating that she did not want "any contact with her biological father".

This decision not only marked a major turning point in her life, but also made Vivian Jenna Wilson an important voice in the community, an inspirational figure for those struggling to live true to themselves.

Since then, she has built her own image as a model, performer and representative face of the LGBT community.

Vivian Jenna Wilson shares how her path to self-acceptance was challenging, but also helped her find inner strength.

In a context where the rights and presence of the LGBT community are increasingly concerned, she has become a symbol of courage, encouraging many others to confidently live their true selves.

Ambition opposite to Elon Musk

At the Teen Vogue Summit in Los Angeles on September 22, Vivian Jenna Wilson affirmed that she is financially independent, not relying on her father's fame or huge fortune.

Fame has never brought her money or security, she says. She lives with roommates in Los Angeles and keeps a tight budget, unlike what many people imagine when they hear the name Musk.

Contrary to her father's thinking, Vivian Jenna Wilson asserts that she has no desire to own a huge fortune. "I don't want to be a billionaire. I'm luckier than many of my peers in Los Angeles, but that comes from the support of my mother and the community, not from my father's money," she said.

Initially, Elon Musk claimed to respect his child's privacy. However, in 2024, he publicly criticized the ideology that he said negatively affected Vivian Jenna Wilson, calling it "the awakening virus".

"Elon Musk believes that the 'awakening virus' includes spreading extreme political identity, amplifying racism and sexism, making people hate society and themselves."

These statements further damaged the already tense relationship between father and son.
