Vivian Jenna Wilson, the estranged daughter of tech billionaire Elon Musk, has unleashed a series of scathing accusations against her father, branding him as a “serial adulterer” and calling out what she perceives as his fabricated narratives about her. Wilson, 20, took to Threads, a social media platform owned by Meta (a competitor to X), to air her grievances publicly.
According to People magazine, Wilson accused Musk of spreading false stories about her in various media outlets, including social media, books, and interviews. In her posts, Wilson didn’t hold back. “You are not a Christian. As far as I’m aware, you’ve never stepped foot in a church. You are not some ‘bastion for equality and progress,'” she wrote, attacking the image Musk has cultivated.
She went on to criticize her father’s public persona, stating, “You are not ‘saving the planet.’ You do not give a f-ck about climate change and you’re lying about multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse and because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready Player One.” Wilson added a particularly pointed remark, “I would mention the birth rate stuff, but I am not touching that weird 14-word breeder s— with a ten-foot pole.”
Wilson also recalled an incident from her childhood when Musk allegedly referred to Arabic as the “language of the enemy” when she was just six years old. “You single-handedly disillusioned me with how gullible we are as a species,” she wrote, expressing her frustration with how the public continues to support and believe in her father. “Because somehow people keep believing you for reasons that continue to evade me.”
These explosive claims came in response to a resurfaced 2014 photo of Musk with his former wife Talulah Riley and their five children, during an appearance on CBS News. When a fan praised Musk for prioritizing his family, he replied, “All 5 boys look super happy.” Wilson, however, was quick to challenge this narrative. “It seems to me like you’re trying to rebuild your brand image as the ‘caring paternal father,’ which I will not let go unchallenged,” she posted. “If I’m going to be honest, this is absolutely pathetic.”
Wilson further accused Musk of falsely portraying her as a brainwashed communist and neo-Marxist during her high school years. She claimed that he lied about her being convinced that “being rich is evil” and about her decision to identify as transgender. “If you’re going to lie about me, why would you choose a method so obnoxious in its stupidity,” Wilson asked. “It’s beyond stupid, it’s desperate.”
The tension between father and daughter has also been fueled by Musk’s public stance on gender-reassignment surgery. According to USA Today, Musk described such surgeries as “child mutilation and sterilization” during an interview with psychologist and conservative commentator Dr. Jordan Peterson. He further claimed that he was “tricked” into signing documents related to Wilson’s surgery, adding, “This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID-19 going on, so there was a lot of confusion, and I was told [Wilson] might commit suicide.”
