A difficult relationship. Elon Musk opened up about his tension with daughter Vivian, claiming that she has been brainwashed into thinking that he’s “evil.”“It’s full-on communism and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil,” the SpaceX founder, 51, told The Financial Times in an interview that was published on Friday, October 7. “[Our relationship] may change, but I have very good relationships with all [of my other children].”Musk added: “Can’t win them all.”The Tesla CEO’s comments come four months after a Los Angeles County court granted Vivian’s request to legally change her gender from male to female and her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson. “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” the 18-year-old told the court in June, per NBC News.

Vivian chose the last name Wilson as a nod to mother Justine Musk‘s maiden name.“There being no objections, the petition for change of name, recognition of change of gender, and issuance of new birth certificate is granted,” the judge ruled.Elon was married to Justine, 50, from 2000 to 2008.

During their marriage, the former couple used IVF treatments to conceive and welcome twins Griffin and Vivian in 2004. They were joined by triplets Damian, Kai and Saxon in 2006.

Justine also gave birth to son Nevada in 2002, who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at just 10 weeks old.Elon has yet to publicly comment on his daughter’s gender identity, but in December 2020, he sparked backlash for his tweets about gender pronouns. “I absolutely support trans [people], but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare,” he wrote in response to the criticism, before claiming that Tesla had received a perfect score on the 2022
