Elon Musk's Trans Daughter Reveals Her Plans for the Future After Severing Ties with Her Billionaire Father

Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, has opened up about her future ambitions after severing ties with her famous father, sharing her thoughts and dreams in a candid interview. The 20-year-old has made headlines over the past year for her outspoken stance against her father, especially when it comes to his political views. In an exclusive cover story for Teen Vogue, Vivian discussed her aspirations, including her desire to break into the world of reality TV and her growing interest in streaming and modeling.

Vivian’s life took a public turn when she came out as transgender in 2020, a decision that led her to cut ties with her billionaire father. She now lives abroad, focusing on her studies in languages and carving out an independent life away from the shadow of her famous parent.

Despite her estranged relationship with Elon Musk, Vivian has remained vocal, expressing her feelings about his controversial political actions and his lack of support following her transition.

In her interview with Teen Vogue, Vivian shared her deep passion for reality television, a genre she has loved since her early years. "It is my absolute dream to be on a reality show, which I know is absolutely pathetic," she admitted with a laugh, acknowledging the almost tongue-in-cheek nature of her ambition.

Vivian confessed to being an "overdramatic little queer" who finds immense joy in watching reality TV. "Reality shows are something I adore beyond belief," she added, highlighting how much these shows have shaped her personal tastes and ambitions.

Her aspirations to appear on a reality show may seem surprising, given her family’s wealth and status, but Vivian is keen to emphasize her independence. Since coming out as transgender, she has not relied on her father’s fortune.

Instead, she has managed to build a life for herself without any financial help from him. She currently resides in another country, where she is studying languages and pursuing her goals away from the influence of her father’s wealth and fame.

"I have been financially independent from my billionaire father since coming out as trans," she said, proudly asserting her self-reliance.

Despite her autonomy, Vivian revealed that she has received money requests through Venmo, with some people attempting to take advantage of her association with her father. "I’ve gotten Venmo requests for thousands of dollars because people know who my dad is," she said. "But I haven’t accepted any of that. I don’t want anything from him."

She noted that her father, who holds the title of the world’s richest man, has never been a source of financial support for her, and she feels no need to rely on his vast fortune to succeed.

Vivian’s independence extends beyond finances into the realms of entertainment and social media. With her growing notoriety, she’s exploring multiple avenues for self-expression and success, including launching her own Twitch stream.

"I feel like Twitch streaming would be so much fun," she said. "I don’t feel like the world needs another Twitch streamer, but I’d love to do it." While she may not see herself as a groundbreaking figure in the streaming world, Vivian’s interest in this field signals her desire to engage with fans and build her own brand.

Modeling is another avenue that Vivian is considering. She has already started receiving attention for her appearance, and she is considering stepping into the world of fashion and modeling, though she is cautious about pursuing it in a mainstream way.

"I haven’t made any money from being famous at all. I’ve made zero dollars and zero cents," she clarified. "I do live in a lot of people's heads rent-free, though." Her self-deprecating humor and humility are evident in her tone, showing that while she’s aware of her fame, she doesn’t want it to define her.

Vivian’s love of drag culture also plays a role in her future plans. She has expressed admiration for drag queens and has even set herself the goal of winning a drag pageant. "It’s on my bucket list to win a drag pageant," she said. Although she didn’t specify when she might take part in such a contest, she hinted that she would likely compete as a drag king. "I would eat that up," she added, laughing. This reflects her playful and bold nature, as well as her openness to exploring different sides of her identity through performance art.

Reflecting on her personal journey, Vivian discussed the struggles she faced during her school years, which ultimately led her to realize she was transgender. "I was constantly having mental breakdowns," she recalled. "I just wanted to rot, pretty much. It was like, I cannot do this anymore."

Her words reveal the deep emotional turmoil she experienced, ultimately leading her to a decision that would change her life forever. "If I stay in the closet anymore, this is going to take me down a very destructive path," she explained. Two days after this revelation, she publicly came out on Instagram before even telling her mother, Justine Wilson.

Looking back, she admitted that this was a decision she regretted. She had hoped for more support from her father but felt abandoned by him during this pivotal moment in her life.

Vivian’s relationship with her mother has been supportive throughout her journey. Justine Wilson, her mother, was one of the few people who stood by her when she came out. Despite this, Vivian’s relationship with her father remains fractured.

Elon Musk did not support her transition, and they have not spoken for months. Her strained relationship with him only deepened after she made her feelings about his politics public. "I haven’t spoken to him in months," Vivian said, noting that she found his actions and views increasingly difficult to reconcile with her own beliefs.

In her own social media endeavors, Vivian has also been vocal about her thoughts on her father’s business ventures, particularly his social media platform, X. She humorously referred to herself as the "Queen of Threads," a rival platform to X owned by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta. This playful jab at her father’s company showcases her continued defiance and sense of independence, despite her father’s influence in the tech world.

Vivian’s journey is one of resilience and self-discovery. Although she no longer has a relationship with her billionaire father, she has found her own path, pursuing her dreams in entertainment and carving out a space for herself in a world that often demands perfection. Whether she succeeds in her dreams of reality TV or Twitch streaming, one thing is clear—Vivian Wilson is determined to live her truth, free from the constraints of her father’s shadow.
