Elon Musk often keeps information about his children quite private. At the end of 2022, his eldest daughter, then named Xavier Musk, appeared for the first time and created a big scandal. She is the second son of a famous billionaire and first appeared in the news because of news from her father.

When he was just 18 years old, Xavier Musk underwent gender change procedures and changed his name to Vivian Jenna Wilson after his mother’s last name. She also revealed in court filings that she “no longer wishes to be related to Musk in any way.”

In Elon Musk’s biography, the Tesla CEO’s rift with Vivian “hurt him more than anything in his life since the death of his first child Nevada, who died at 10 weeks old.” because of sudden infant death syndrome.

Vivian, whose birth name was Xavier Alexander Musk, is the younger twin brother of his older brother Griffin, born in 2004 in California. They have 3 younger siblings from the same father and mother, Kai, Saxon and Damian, all 17 years old. After their mother Justine Wilson and Elon Musk broke up in 2008, they both agreed to co-parent their children. The famous businessman also shares son X Æ A-12, born in 2020, and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, born in 2021, with singer Grimes.

All of Musk’s children attend the extremely expensive Crossroads K-12 school in Santa Monica, where annual tuition is up to 50,000 USD (more than 1 billion VND).

Despite being a genuine rich kid from birth and receiving huge support from his billionaire father, Vivian and Elon’s relationship is said to be not close. One of the main reasons is that she tried to hide her true gender from her father for many years.

Vivian is said to have transitioned when she was 16 years old, but kept her gender a secret from her father. Meanwhile, Elon Musk said in an interview with the FT in 2020 that his relationship with his daughter “can change” and asserted that he has a very good relationship with all of his other children. In his newly released biography, the richest man in the world also shared that he tried to reconcile with Vivian: “I proposed many times but she didn’t want to spend time with me.”
