Vivian Jenna Wilson, the 20-year-old daughter of Elon Musk and Canadian author Justine Musk, has publicly declared her intention to leave the United States, citing concerns over the political climate and its impact on transgender rights.

Wilson, who legally changed her name in 2022 to distance herself from her father, has been vocal about her strained relationship with Musk and his controversial political views.​

In a post on the social media platform Threads, Wilson expressed that the recent political developments in the U.S. have solidified her decision to move abroad.

She stated, “I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States.”

Wilson’s comments reflect her concerns about the potential erosion of transgender rights under the current political administration. ​

While Wilson has not specified her destination, her Canadian heritage and previous expressions of patriotism suggest that Canada could be a potential new home.

In a previous social media post, she remarked, “I’m ngl this Canadian ’51st state’ s**t has upped my Canadian patriotism by about 5000000%,” indicating a strong connection to her Canadian roots. ​

Wilson’s decision to relocate comes amidst ongoing tensions with her father, who has publicly criticized her transition and referred to her by her deadname. In a 2024 interview, Wilson described Musk as “cold” and “uncaring,” further distancing herself from him.

As Wilson plans her move, she continues to advocate for transgender rights and express her disapproval of her father’s political affiliations. Her decision underscores the challenges faced by transgender individuals in navigating family dynamics and societal acceptance.

She spoke candidly about her transition, highlighting the stark contrast between her parents’ reactions

Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk and Justine Wilson’s 20-year-old daughter revealed in a March 20 Teen Vogue interview that her parents had contrasting reactions to her coming out as transgender; her mother offered immediate support, while her father did not.

Vivian spoke candidly about her transition, highlighting the stark contrast between her parents’ reactions. Her mother, a writer of supernatural romance fiction, was incredibly supportive-even anticipating the news before Vivian officially came out. “She kind of figured it out,” Vivian recalled. “So when I told her, she pretended to be surprised for about 30 seconds and then said, ‘Yeah, honey. Okay.'”

Her experience with Musk, however, was far different. “He was not as supportive as my mom,” she admitted. She also noted that at a critical time- when she needed his consent for testosterone blockers and hormone replacement therapy-she had not spoken to him for months.

Vivian first publicly shared her identity through an Instagram Story, writing simply, “I’m trans. She/her pronouns.” She also included a reference to The Hunger Games, playfully asking followers if they were “Team Peeta or Team Gale.” Looking back, she laughed at herself, calling it “cringe” but standing by her stance: “I am Team Peeta, obviously. Gale killed Katniss’ sister. F- that guy.”

She recalled the pivotal moment she fully accepted her identity-late one night, overwhelmed by puberty and life’s struggles. “It was 11:00 p.m., and I just knew. I had known for months, but that night, I told myself, ‘I cannot f– do this anymore.'”

That period was incredibly difficult for her. “I was having constant breakdowns in class. I couldn’t get through the day. I didn’t want to wake up, I didn’t want to do anything,” she shared. “I knew that if I stayed in the closet any longer, it would lead me down a destructive path.”

Reflecting on her coming-out journey, she admitted she would have done things differently, especially regarding her mother. “I do regret that,” she said, referring to how she made her announcement public before telling Justine privately.

Today, Vivian maintains a strong relationship with her mother. “She’s been supportive of the choices I’ve made in college and about being public. Her attitude was kind of like, ‘Well, I can’t stop you, so whatever.'”

Her relationship with Musk, however, remains fractured. The SpaceX CEO has previously claimed he was “tricked” into allowing Vivian to receive gender-affirming treatment at 16. Vivian strongly refuted this in an interview with NBC News, calling it a “lie.” Reflecting on her childhood with him, she remarked, “He was around maybe 10% of the time.”
