Elon Musk is blaming the hatred of rich people as the reason why his daughter no longer speaks to him.
Elon Musk Is Estranged From His Child
The entrepreneur made headlines in the summer when his daughter announced that she plans on changing her name and gender, and disassociating from her wealthy father. Musk sat down for an interview with the Financial Times, and revealed what he believes to be the real reason why his daughter wants nothing to do with him currently.
“It’s full-on communism … and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil,” Musk insists. He still maintains “very good relationships with all the others,” according to him. He went on to say that he “can’t win them all,” when it comes to his children. of which he has plenty.
Elon Musk Has Hope
While his words for his estranged child may seem harsh, the investor insists that he has hope for his future relationship with his child, saying it “may change”. In the meantime, Musk has his hands full with the several other children he is responsible for.
The SpaceX founder has a total of nine children. Vivian, Griffin, Saxon, Kai, Damien, X AE A-XII, Exa, and twins with Shivon Zilis, whose names are yet to be released.
Vivian, the child who Musk is currently estranged from shared her decision on social media. She had changed her last name to Wilson and stated it was because of “gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father [Elon] in any way, shape, or form.”
Elon Musk’s Ex supports Vivian
The mother of Vivian and four of Musk’s other children, Justine Wilson seemingly supported her child’s decision on Twitter a few days after the announcement. “I had a weird childhood,” my 18 year old said to me. “I can’t believe I’m as normal-seeming as I am.” The tweet continued, I said, “I’m very proud of you.” “I’m proud of myself!”
This is the first time Musk is speaking out about the situation and it’s obvious he isn’t overly concerned as he sees room for improvement in the future. The futurist has mentioned in the past that he is concerned about the declining birth rate.
If anything, this revelation with Vivian could just lead to more children. Seriously, he and Nick Cannon are gunning for the top spot in procreation. Like Musk, Cannon has a steady stream of children being born with different mothers and he too believes that he was put here to populate.
