Vivian Wilson recalls 'cringe' moment she knew dad Elon Musk was going to side with Trump

Elon Musk's estranged daughter has spoken out about her 'weird' upbringing and her father's entrance into politics.

Vivian Wilson recently appeared as a guest on popular Twitch streamer Hasan Piker's YouTube channel, HasanAbi, where she delved into her complicated relationship with her dad, tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Wilson recalled many things, including the 'cringe' moment that she knew her dad was going to side with President Donald Trump, and having been sat in the same room when the Tesla owner was on the phone to Trump, years before his second term in office.

Their relationship ended abruptly when Covid-19 hit, with Musk claiming she didn't need to wear a mask at the height of the pandemic, having even gone publicly suggesting it wasn't as serious as made out.

She detailed one of their final conversations they held.

“One of the last interactions we ever had was arguing about wearing a mask,” Wilson explained.

"He sent me this gif of a sheep and said, ‘Stop being sheeple'. It was cringe."

The 90-minute interview covered a broad-range of topics, including her childhood - where she and her siblings would frequently hear their father berating staff on the commute into their middle school, Astra Nova.

“He was just yelling at employees in the car while [me and my siblings] all watched, horrified,” she told Piker, before labeling him an 'insecure little buffoon'.

She described the school, which was situated on the SpaceX campus, as being 'weird', with it being funded by the billionaire who instructed teachers to even hold a class for students to learn solely about using Excel.

Piker then spoke of how everyone believed Musk was left-wing until he came out in support of Trump during his presidential campaign last year, labeling him a 'liberal darling', with his main business being creating and selling electric vehicles.

Wilson quickly interjected: “[Musk] was not a liberal darling. I f***ing know him! He was never on the left, I know the b****, unfortunately. It was a marketing scheme."

She also claimed Telsa is a 'Ponzi scheme', a form of fraud where investors are lured in and ordered to pay profits to earlier investors with funds from recent investors.

She continued: "I know he's been right-wing since at least 2016 but I don't think he was ever left-wing.

"People think that we live in a novel and that [my transition] is some tragic character motivation. This is not a novel. I am not the reason.”

Wilson transitioned when she was 16 years old after Musk authorized trans-related medical treatment for her - which he now says he was tricked into doing, but his daughter claims he knew what he was signing.

In 2022, Wilson, who is one of Musk's 13 children (14 if you include Ashley St Clair's baby), underwent a process to change her name as she didn't want to be 'related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form'.

She went on to explain to Piker that he was on the phone to Trump around a decade ago while she was in the room playing Hearthstone.

Before later touching on the public's belief that Musk is an innovator. She added: “Holy s***, I can't believe this is happening… It turns out if you lie, and people believe it, people will think you're smart, or God, or ‘Tony Stark'.

"I f***ing hate that, he doesn't engineer anything!”
