Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter Vivian Chooses Modest Life, Says She Doesn’t Want to Be Superrich

Vivian Wilson, estranged from her billionaire father since 2022, lives modestly with roommates and plans to study foreign languages despite no trust fund, highlighting financial independence challenges.

  • On Tuesday, September 2, Vivian Wilson said she is broke, lives in Los Angeles with three roommates because it is cheaper, and severed ties with Elon Musk after petitioning to change her name and gender.
  • After coming out and seeking a name change, Vivian Wilson triggered a public rupture with Elon Musk, who publicly criticized her transition and later denounced her online, intensifying their fallout.
  • Having landed a Teen Vogue cover, Vivian Wilson recently secured a modelling agent and plans to return to community college after dropping out abroad, blaming AI for lost motivation.
  • Since going public with the split, Vivian Wilson has criticised Elon Musk on social media as a "pathetic man-child" and says she does not want to be superrich, valuing friends and shelter instead.
  • The contrast is stark: Elon Musk is worth an estimated $413 billion while Vivian Wilson lives modestly, and her father's political spotlight has intensified scrutiny and online abuse toward the family.
