Vivian Jenna Wilson has addressed Elon Musk's 'gross' tweet about her.
Wilson, one of Musk's children from his first marriage to Justine Wilson, filed a petition to change her name in 2022 stating she didn't want to be 'related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form'.
Despite Wilson's distancing herself from Musk, the Tesla CEO has continued to speak about his 20-year-old daughter online, claiming Wilson - who is transgender - was 'killed' by a 'woke mind virus'.

In an interview with Teen Vogue, Wilson explained she'll 'see things about [Musk] in the news' and thinks it's 'f**king cringe' and she 'should probably post about this and denounce it'.
"Which I have done a few times," she added.
Addressing one act which saw Musk hit the headlines - the Tesla CEO being accused of doing a 'Nazi salute' at a Trump rally - Wilson called it 'insane'.
A Twitter user has since taken to the platform to respond to a headline reading: "Elon Musk's daughter says father's rally gesture was 'definitely a Nazi salute'."
The user questioned whether Musk has ever killed anyone and said just because Wilson 'says something, that doesn't necessarily make it true'.
Musk then responded deadnaming Wilson and doubling down on saying she 'was killed by the woke mind virus'.
Wilson's response? Well, she took to Threads to write: "Ew. Gross. I’ll deal with this nonsense in a bit, for now a simple ratio will suffice."
A social media user also responded to Musk noting: "This is a horrible thing to say about your child."
Another commented: "Vivian I’m so sorry, you’re experiencing this pain in public. It is absolutely shocking. Please stay safe and know we appreciate & support you. You’re a beautiful young lady, who shouldn’t have to go through these attacks, in the public eye. Stay strong."
Elsewhere in the interview, Wilson dubbed Musk 'a pathetic man-child' and said she doesn't 'give a f**k' about Musk's 'power'.
"Why should I be scared of this man? Because he's rich? Oh, no, I'm trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don't give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don't. I really don't. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations," she continued. "People thrive off of fear. I'm not giving anyone that space in my mind. The only thing that gets to live free in my mind are drag queens."
Wilson resolved: "But other than that, I don't give a f**k about him. I really don't. It's annoying that people associate me with him. I just don't have any room to care anymore."
