Vivian Jenna Wilson, Elon Musk’s estranged trans daughter, said she will leave the US following Donald Trump's victory in the Presidential elections.

Wilson, 20, severed ties with her father Musk in 2022 after filing a petition to legally change her name and gender, seeking to distance herself from the billionaire. Musk said that Vivian was “killed by the woke mind virus”.

Following Trump's victory, Wilson took to Threads, expressing her disillusionment with the country’s political climate.

"I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. I don’t see my future being in the United States," she said.

She cited concerns over anti-trans regulations and the unwavering support for Trump among voters. Her estranged father Musk came out in support of Trump earlier this year and actively campaigned for him.

“Even if he’s only in office for 4 years, even if the anti-trans regulations magically don’t happen, the people who willingly voted this in are not going anywhere anytime soon,” she added.

Wilson’s relationship with Musk has been strained for years, with the Tesla CEO blaming her estrangement on “neo-Marxists” and the “woke mind virus”. Musk also blamed her elite school education for this.

In interviews, Musk expressed deep pain over the rift, describing it as worse than the death of his firstborn son, Nevada.

He also accused Wilson of adopting extreme ideologies, saying, “She went beyond socialism to being a full communist and thinking that anyone rich is evil.”

Wilson has described Musk as a cold and narcissistic father, claiming he was an absent parent who did not support her transition.

Trump is set to return as the president of US after a historic win over Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent presidential elections.

His return has sparked concerns in the transgender community due to the Republican party's stance on the trans issues, including Trump's promise to "keep men out of women’s sports".
