Following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. election, Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, announced her plans to leave the country, stating she no longer sees a future in America. Musk and Vivian have been estranged since 2022, with Musk previously claiming that she was “killed by the woke mind virus.”
Vivian expressed her sentiments on Meta’s Threads platform, saying, “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 also reflected on the broader political climate, noting, “Even if [Trump’s] only in office for 4 years… the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon.”

In response, Musk reiterated his earlier stance on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “The woke mind killed my son.” Vivian responded by sharing a screenshot of Musk’s post and criticizing his victim narrative. She wrote, “So, you’re still going with the sob-story… I’m just bored honestly, like is this really the best you could come up with?”
She also addressed Musk’s control over the situation, stating, “You’re upset because… everyone around you knows you as a delusional and grubby little control freak… last time I checked that’s not my problem.”
Vivian, one of six children Musk shares with his first wife, Justine Wilson, legally changed her name in 2022 and sought gender-affirming care. Musk has repeatedly blamed her choices on what he calls the “woke mind virus,” and has stated that she is “dead” to him.
