Vivian Jenna Wilson, once known as the daughter of billionaire Elon Musk, has decided to leave America following the re-election of Donald Trump.
According to Fox News, the 20-year-old has expressed disillusionment with the political climate in the U.S., driven by her concerns over the treatment of transgender people.
Vivian Jenna Wilson, who publicly cut ties with her father Elon Musk in 2022 by changing her name and gender, felt compelled to distance herself further by leaving the country. This decision was solidified by Trump's recent electoral success, supported staunchly by Musk.
The rift between Wilson and Musk widened over the years, marked notably by her legal petition for name and gender change two years ago. She aimed to sever connections with Musk, who disparagingly attributed her decisions to the influence of what he termed the “woke mind virus.”
In her social media statements, Wilson shared her growing discomfort with the societal direction under Trump's presidency. “I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States,” she wrote, indicating a final decision spurred by the election outcome.
Musk, in his public appearances and interviews, has voiced his disapproval of his daughter's life choices, understanding them as a shift toward extreme leftist ideologies fostered by her education at the Crossroads School for Arts & Sciences in Santa Monica, California.
Her relationship with Musk deteriorated over conflicting ideological views and personal grievances, culminating in a lack of communication for the past four years. Wilson claims Musk was very critical of her from a young age, particularly attacking her for characteristics he deemed overly feminine.
Vivian Wilson expressed the personal toll these criticisms took on her in a revealing interview. “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 recalled. “He’s very quick to anger. He is uncaring and narcissistic,” she added.
Musk's enhanced political activity, including substantial donations to Trump's campaign and public endorsements, further agitated this strained relationship.
Musk’s political engagements have included a high-profile attendance at a Trump rally and a significant $120 million contribution to a pro-Trump super PAC, marking a stark pivot from his previous political neutrality. His alignment with Trump's ideologies and the subsequent vocal support during various events has deepened the familial discord.
Detailed by her, these experiences with her father painted a picture of a tumultuous relationship, estranged by both personal and political divides. Wilson also refuted Musk's claims, stating that he was fully aware of the implications and had not been deceived into consenting to her adolescent transgender treatments.
In her statements, Wilson has reflected on the broader ramifications of remaining in a country led by Trump, suggesting that his re-election could signify enduring societal challenges that affect the transgender community. “Even if he’s only in office for four years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon,” she stated emphatically.
This story continues to develop as Wilson plans her departure from the U.S., invoking significant discussions about the intersections of familial relationships, individual identity, and political climates.
