Elon Musk's estranged daughter has revealed the reaction she had when she heard her dad claim she was dead in an interview with Jordan Peterson last year.

One of Musk's many children, Vivian Jenna Wilson, isn't shy about criticising her father, though the 21-year-old has spoke at length how she has distanced herself from the billionaire tech mogul.

To this end, she said she 'hasn't talked to him since 2020' and changed her name, stating she didn't want to be 'related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form,' and stands financially independent from him.

The social media personality came out as a transgender woman in 2020, and earlier this year, she appeared in Teen Vogue where she spoke about her political activism which couldn't be further from her dad, who is considered President Trump's 'First Buddy.'

Now, the youngster has revealed the Tesla CEO spoke about her while in a podcast with Jordan Peterson last year, where Musk not only deadnamed his daughter (referring to her birth name) but said she was actually 'dead, killed by the woke mind virus'.

Retelling the moment she first heard the interview, she told content creator Matt Bernstein in a sit-down interview that Musk outright told Peterson his 'son' was 'dead'.

"And Jordan Peterson was like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that your child is dead.' And I was like, just over there in the corner of literally my small f***ing apartment in Tokyo, going to college, I was like, 'Did this b**** just try to come for me?' And I was like, 'No,'" she said with a laugh while putting her hand out.

"I was literally like, 'Hell f***ing no. I am not about to let this b*** come for me and have that just slide," she added.

Vivian said she wasted no time in launching her response on Threads (a rival of Musk's Twitter), which included posts like: "I look pretty good for a dead b****."

She added: "It went mega coconuts viral."

As to how the podcast landed on her radar, Vivian said she had just woken up when she had text messages from her aunt about the show and quickly told her mom, Justine Wilson, whom had six children with her ex-husband Musk.

"The first thing I do is text my mom and I'm like, 'I can't let this b**** get to me. I must retaliate. I'm going to go public. So sorry, you cannot tell me'." Vivian said.

"And at that point she was kind of like, 'Yeah I trust you, do what you need to do. Obviously just be careful and whatnot.'"

Vivian also said one close friend encouraged her to 'eat him alive', to which she said: "I will do my best."

Her scathing criticism at the time also included calling the SpaceX founder 'entirely fake' and 'desperate for attention and validation,' concluding: "Go touch some f***ing grass."

Prior to this, Vivian had kept a relatively low profile - but her public takedown catapulted her to social media stardom.

"I chose to respond," she added. "And when I chose to respond, I knew what I was getting into."
