Justine Musk Slams Elon Over Vivian Estrangement and Dead Remarks
Justine stated that public comments made by Elon Musk regarding their daughter, Vivian, caused their child considerable pain, according to a documentary report.
Key Clinical Takeaways:
- Justine Musk addressed the public estrangement between Elon Musk and their daughter Vivian in a documentary.
- Vivian petitioned a court in 2022 to change her name and gender identity, asking to disassociate from her biological father.
- Justine noted that public remarks comparing a child’s transition to a death brought particular distress given the family’s past experience with infant loss.
Vivian Petitions Court to End Association with Elon Musk
The distance between Elon Musk and Vivian became visible after she came out as transgender in 2020. During 2022, she filed a legal petition to update both her name and gender, requesting official recognition of her new identity and seeking a complete severing of ties with her biological father. Elon Musk later made public comments about their estrangement, including saying that Vivian was “dead” to him.
Response to Public Remarks
Justine says those remarks caused their daughter considerable pain. “Elon was telling her, through telling the world, what that point of view actually was,” she states in the documentary. Justine also suggests that Musk made little effort to repair the relationship. “If a relationship ruptures, then it ruptures,” she says.
Comparison to Past Family Loss
The ordeal stung all the more for Justine because their household had already endured the grief of losing an infant son before Vivian’s transition was ever likened to a child’s death. “We actually went through the actual death of an actual child. And what’s really happening here is this is a child growing up,” she recalls saying.
