Elon Musk's Daughter on the 'Corrupting' Power of Money and Her 'Isolating' Childhood 0 8

Vivienne Wilson, the daughter of the richest person on the planet, Elon Musk, with whom she has not communicated for quite some time, shared revelations about her 'strange' and 'isolating' childhood spent amidst immense wealth. The 21-year-old Vivienne Wilson claims that her family's vast fortune was both a gift and a curse, representing a dangerously tempting allure that, in her opinion, even the most powerful cannot resist. In a candid interview with Cosmopolitan, she stated, "I’ve seen this stuff with my own eyes. It will change you: the thirst for power corrupts people from within. It’s just a caricature of life," and added that the endless race for new achievements and the desire for more plunges a person into an endless cycle of 'greed and excess,' where 'nothing is enough, and you go crazy.' Vivienne summarized, "It turns you into another person. Honestly, it’s one of my biggest fears."

Childhood Memories

Wilson, who has renounced her family fortune and is now actively advocating for others, shared memories of her 'isolating' and 'strange' childhood. She described it as follows: "It was a very strange, very isolating experience... The upper class has its private schools, social circles, and all that." Musk's daughter attended the private school Ad Astra, located on the SpaceX campus, and then continued her education at the elite private school Crossroads in Los Angeles. However, as she admits, she was troubled from an early age by the plight of 'less fortunate people.' "I had a lot to rethink, but even as a child, I thought, 'This is ridiculous.' I remember seeing homeless people in my early childhood, and it made me sick," Wilson candidly recounted. Vivienne believes that wealthy people are completely detached from 'the real world,' consumed by their wealth and the 'illusion' of their own exceptionalism, while others are forced to sleep on the streets.

Living in the Shadow of a Famous Father

Vivienne also touched on the fact that for many, she will forever remain 'Musk's daughter.' "I can’t do anything about it, so what difference does it make? It’s part of my story, but it’s not my future," she explained her position. Notably, Elon Musk himself has previously commented on his wealth, stating that "money can’t buy happiness."

Controversial Statements by Musk

Vivienne Wilson is Elon Musk's eldest daughter from his ex-wife Justine (the billionaire has a total of 14 children). At the age of 16, she came out as a transgender woman and officially renounced her father's surname. Musk had previously publicly stated that he was 'tricked' into agreeing to Vivienne's transgender transition using the 'woke virus.' "I was tricked into doing this. I wasn’t told that puberty blockers are actually sterilization drugs," Musk emphasized in a 2024 interview, stating that for him, his son Xavier is now 'dead, killed by the virus.'

Currently, Vivienne actively manages her social media, where she regularly shares moments from her modeling career and events she has attended. She also occasionally comments on her father, recently discussing his alleged connection to billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
