For most people, being the child of the world’s richest man should mean a life of endless luxury. But for Vivian Wilson, the 21-year-old estranged daughter of Tesla founder Elon Musk, reality is far different.
In a new interview with The Cut, Vivian opened up about life after cutting ties with her father.

Vivian goes broke
Vivian admitted that people assume she has money because of her father’s unimaginable wealth, but the truth is quite the opposite.
She stated:
“People assume I have a lot of money. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal”
Instead, she revealed she now shares an apartment with three roommates because it’s cheaper to live that way in Los Angeles.
She added:
“I can afford food. I have friends, a shelter, and some expendable income, which is nice and much more fortunate than most people my age in Los Angeles.”
Vivian’s fight with Elon Musk
Vivian officially cut ties with Musk in 2022 when she filed a petition to change her gender and name. Since then, their relationship has been openly bitter.
She has repeatedly criticised her father online, once calling him a “pathetic man-child” who could not accept her gender identity.
Musk, on the other hand, has said his daughter was “k!lled by the woke mind virus” and claimed he was “tricked” into letting her transition at 16.
Despite her current reality, Vivian acknowledged her privileged upbringing. She attended a private high school filled with celebrity kids, including Apple Martin, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.
She was taught multiple languages, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish, and attended colleges in Canada and Japan before dropping out.
Her reason for leaving? She said Artificial Intelligence (AI) ruined her motivation.
Vivian speaks on a new chapter
Vivian, now an aspiring model, already has an agent and has graced the cover of Teen Vogue. But she confessed that she struggles with the spotlight.
She stated:
“I fought so hard for so long to be viewed as a regular person… there was a moment right before I became famous where no one knew who I was. I miss that.”
Still, she admitted that fame has its perks: “I like the fact that it makes me money.”

Man buys Elon Musk’s Starlink
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a man had bought Elon Musk’s Starlink internet system and compared it to MTN.
He said he bought the Starlink system for N550k and noted that one would have to pay someone to install it. The man noted that the monthly subscription for the Starlink system was N38,000.
He said the advantage was that the subscription was unlimited once one paid the N38k. The young man also said the Starlink satellite had a super-fast internet network where he lives in Lagos.
