Elon Musk’s daughter has ripped into her father for being “delusional and grubby little control freak” with the maturity of a 15-year-old after the world’s richest man trashed her on social media yet again.
On Wednesday, Vivian Jenna Wilson, Musk’s 20-year-old transgender daughter, wrote on Threads that Donald Trump’s re-election had convinced her to move abroad—something she’d been mulling for a while now.
Musk responded by writing on X, the social media platform he owns, “The woke mind virus killed my son,” a line he has repeated several times to “explain” his opposition to puberty blockers.
“So, you’re still going with the sob-story about how ‘Woe is me, my child was infected by something-or-other and that’s totally the reason they hate me,’” Wilson shot back on Threads on Thursday.

She went on to say the reason why Musk responded specifically to a report about her leaving the country was because he was mad he didn’t have any power over her.

“At the end of the day, everyone around you knows you as a delusional and grubby little control freak who hasn’t matured as a person for 38 years,” she wrote.

It’s not the first time Wilson, 20, has accused her father of being immature and controlling. When Musk made a skin-crawling offer to “give” Taylor Swift a child after she endorsed Kamala Harris for president, Wilson described the comment as “heinous incel nonsense.”
The two have been estranged since Wilson cut ties in 2022, according to a Walter Isaacson biography about the billionaire owner of X. Musk shares 12 children with three women—a scenario that smacks of womb envy—and Wilson says he is an absent father and “serial adulterer.” (Isaacson’s biography confirmed the SpaceX chief fathered secret twins while still in a relationship with the singer Grimes.)
Earlier this week, news broke that Musk and Grimes were house hunting for a mansion for the former couple to share with some of Musk’s other children and their mother. Grimes and Musk had been battling for custody of their three young children since 2022, with Musk allegedly withholding the children from Grimes as recently as July.
If those reports are true, it does prompt the question of whose idea it was to do a “Scientology, the Sequel” arrangement, as Wilson put it.
