Elon Musk’s Estranged Trans Daughter Laughs Off His Mars Colonization Dream, Calling Him a Narcissist

In a scathing critique of her father’s ambitious plans to colonize Mars, Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, openly mocked his vision, calling it nothing more than a “marketing scheme.” Speaking on a live stream with liberal commentator Hasan Piker, Vivian, 20, shared her thoughts on Musk’s behavior during her childhood and his persistent dreams of establishing a human colony on the red planet.

Vivian, who has gained significant attention online in recent months for criticizing her father’s politics and personal views, didn’t hold back when discussing Musk’s lofty goals for Mars. In a blunt statement, she dismissed the idea of human colonization of Mars, telling viewers, “It’s not happening, people.”

She went further, labeling Musk’s dreams as a mere ploy, saying, “It’s a marketing scheme that everyone somehow fell for despite being debunked by a f****** Google search.”

Elon Musk, known for his boundless ambition, has made repeated statements about his desire to send humans to Mars, with the ultimate goal of creating a sustainable colony. He envisions a city of one million people on the Martian surface by 2050, a vision he has touted for years. Recently, Musk announced that SpaceX’s Starship would launch at the end of the year, carrying a humanoid robot named Optimus on its first mission.

If successful, he stated that humans could land on Mars as early as 2029.

However, Vivian, who has been vocal about her fractured relationship with her father, seemed unmoved by these grand plans. “It’s all a fantasy,” she remarked, seemingly uninterested in the potential breakthrough Musk was promoting. This public dismissal of her father's lifelong ambition only further exemplifies the growing divide between them.

Throughout the live stream, Vivian expressed her frustration with her father’s behavior, touching on both his personal and professional life. She painted a picture of a man who was far from the progressive ideals he sometimes espoused, criticizing him for his political leanings and his behavior towards those around him.

When speaking about Musk's character, she referred to him as an “insecure buffoon” and a “narcissist.”

Elon Musk’s behavior, especially during her childhood, was another focal point for Vivian’s criticisms. “Most of the time I saw him working, he was just yelling at employees in the car while we watched, horrified, like viscerally screaming,” she recalled, describing the environment she grew up in. For Vivian, these moments were not only unsettling but also shaped her negative perception of her father.

Her comments also suggested that Musk was never truly a liberal, despite the occasional alignment with progressive causes. Vivian explained, “He was never on the left,” pointing out that Musk had been “right-wing since at least 2016.”

She went on to clarify that her transition had nothing to do with Musk’s political shift, strongly denying that she was in any way responsible for his move toward more conservative views. “I cannot take credit for him becoming a f****** loon,” Vivian said. “I am not the reason he’s a f****** fascist.”

This stark criticism of her father follows a troubling incident from the previous year when Musk publicly claimed that he had been “tricked” into allowing her to undergo gender-affirming medical treatments, including puberty blockers, when she was a teenager. In a public interview, Musk referred to Vivian by her birth name, Xavier, and used male pronouns, saying that his “son” had been “killed by the woke mind virus.”

He continued to make inflammatory statements about the medical decisions, calling them “evil” and suggesting that those promoting such treatments should be imprisoned.

Vivian was quick to respond to these comments, calling her father’s words false and a result of his ignorance. She claimed that Musk's remarks were rooted in his absence during her childhood and his lack of understanding of what she had gone through.

“He wasn’t around me as a child,” she said, explaining that his lack of presence had led him to fabricate stories about her transition. According to Vivian, Musk’s understanding of her transition was based on misguided assumptions and was completely disconnected from the reality of her experience.

As a child, Vivian recalled being harassed by Musk for exhibiting what he saw as “feminine traits” and for her “queerness.” She described how her father would relentlessly push her to act in a more masculine manner, forcing her to suppress parts of her identity that he found unacceptable.

“I was relentlessly harassed for it,” Vivian said, describing the emotional toll it took on her as a young person trying to figure out her identity in a challenging environment.

Despite these painful memories, Vivian has managed to build a life for herself. Since coming out as trans in 2020, she has been financially independent from her billionaire father and now lives abroad while studying languages. Her personal growth has been marked by a desire to carve out her own path, far away from the shadow of her father’s legacy.

She even appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue, where she shared her dream of becoming a reality TV star. “It is my absolute dream to be on a reality show,” she confessed, laughing. “As an overdramatic little queer, reality shows are something I adore beyond belief.”

In addition to her dreams of stardom, Vivian has made it clear that she has no interest in reconciling with her father. The financial independence she enjoys and the space she has created for herself allow her to distance herself from the toxic relationship she endured with Musk. She has made it known that she is not interested in any form of approval from him or any part of his world.

Vivian’s decision to go public with her story and her opinions on her father has gained her a significant following online, where she continues to speak out against her father’s politics, his behavior, and his vision for the future. She has become a voice for those who feel marginalized by figures of authority like Musk, and her openness about her experiences has resonated with many who share similar stories of neglect or abuse.

Through her criticism of Musk’s Mars colonization plans, her reflections on her troubled childhood, and her outspoken views on his political shift, Vivian Wilson has positioned herself as a figure of defiance against the empire her father has built. While Musk continues to push forward with his lofty goals for space exploration and Mars colonization, Vivian stands firmly grounded in her own truth, unapologetic and unbowed.

Her journey, marked by resilience, defiance, and a refusal to remain silent, speaks volumes about the strength it takes to confront the deeply personal and public struggles that come with being part of such a highly scrutinized family. And as Musk dreams of reaching Mars, Vivian is more focused on carving out her own space on Earth—one where she is free to be herself, without the shadow of a father who has consistently failed to understand her.
