In the past, the estranged trans daughter of Elon Musk, 20-year-old Vivian Jenna Wilson, has gone viral for calling out her father on his anti-trans sentiments.
Now, in a recently published interview with Teen Vogue, Wilson is once again dealing out verbal lashings to the billionaire tech magnate and the Trump administration — even addressing Musk’s now-infamous straight-arm “Nazi salute.”
In the interview, published March 20, Wilson reveals that she hasn’t spoken to Musk since 2020, “almost half a decade ago at this point,” she says. “Thank God.”
However, she has been continually vocal about her political views, and has previously addressed Musk’s anti-trans sentiments head-on. In a series of July 2024 posts to Threads, Wilson stated Musk “relentlessly harassed” her for her “femininity and queerness” as a child after he deadnamed her and said his “son” was “killed by the ‘woke’ mind virus” during an interview with Jordan Peterson.
When Teen Vogue asked whether Wilson was “scared” of the “richest man in the world,” Wilson didn’t seem to hold back.
Musk is “a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him?” she told the outlet. “Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don’t give a [expletive]. 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 [expletive] how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.”
She also addressed Musk’s straight-arm “Nazi salute” gesture at a celebration for Trump’s second presidential inauguration.
“The Nazi salute [expletive] was insane,” she told Teen Vogue. “Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was.”
Musk has maintained that his gesture was not a “Nazi” salute, and he has said that the controversy was nothing more than “dirty tricks” from his political opponents.
“Frankly, they need better dirty tricks,” Musk wrote in an update to X. “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”
Wilson begs to disagree.
“That [expletive] was definitely a Nazi salute,” she told Teen Vogue.
