Elon Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian claims she’s broke, lives with 3 roommates after spurning world’s richest dad

Elon Musk’s estranged transgender daughter Vivian Wilson has insisted she’s broke after publicly cutting ties with the world’s richest dad — opting to live with three roommates because it’s “cheaper.”

“People assume I have a lot of money. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal,” the 21-year-old aspiring model told the Cut in a wide-ranging interview published Tuesday.

“My mom is rich, right? But obviously the other one [Musk] … is unimaginable degrees of wealthy.”

Wilson said she decided to live with three roommates because it is more affordable.vivllainous/Instagram

“I don’t have a desire to be superrich,” she continued.“I can afford food. I have friends, a shelter, and some expendable income, which is nice and much more fortunate than most people my age in Los Angeles.”

Wilson — the eldest of Musk’s 14 children — infamously cut ties with her Tesla founder dad back in 2022 when she filed a petition to change her gender and name. 

Since then, Wilson has repeatedly bashed the tech mogul on social media — calling him a “pathetic man-child” who hasn’t been accepting of her gender.

Musk, for his part, has claimed in past interviews that Wilson was “killed by the woke mind virus” and that he was “tricked” into letting her transition at age 16.

Still, Wilson seized on the very public fallout with her father, telling the magazine that the most stereotypical thing about her was “Daddy issues.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Wilson addressed her lavish upbringing — noting she went to a “private high school filled with nepo babies” including Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter, Apple.

She said she was taught multiple languages, including Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish.

She acknowledged going to college in Canada and Japan before eventually dropping out — blaming AI for ruining her “motivation.
