Xavier/Vivian made that statement during court proceedings as justification for requesting a legal name change. Unlike her father's tell-all to the FT, it did not come from an interview with the media. And of course it's about money. That's the entire point. Dealing with that kind of wealth is extremely difficult for young people. It stands in the way of normal relationships and makes then targets for people who don't have their best interests at heart.

The school website is private, but I've found no evidence that it is closed. Where did you see that?


Edit: Further research indicates that Ad Astra closed in May 2022, so Vivian, at age 18, has probably graduated. No clue if she is attending college.


According to a 2018 Fortune article the twins were heading to a public high school the following year. The school was only available for kids 7-14 years of age. All of these posts were just assumptions on your part.

"For now, Ad Astra is only available to students between the ages of 7 and 14. And since two of Musk’s sons are leaving for traditional high schools next year, there’s some concern over what the future of the school looks like, according to Ars."

Because the money has always been there my guess is Vivian never worried or thought much about it. Assuming Musk pulls the purse strings she may end up having serious second thoughts about what she did in the years to come.

The Tesla chief's transgender daughter, who recently turned 18 which is the age of consent in California, wants to disown her father because she "no longer lives with or wishes to be related" to her biological father in any way, shape or form, according to a report in Reuters.

Ouch!

And Musk doesn't appear like the type of man who will easily forget esp. if she comes looking for money.

Perhaps Vivian wants to go her own way. Who knows? And if she does, more power to her. That kind of money is not good for a person. And in any case, Vivian has a mother, and while Justine Wilson isn't rolling in Musk-level money, she's doing well. I'm sure this young person isn't going to lack for food or shelter.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to go your own way. However, not wanting to be related to your father in any way, shape or form suggests this was an ugly split.

But you're right. Her mother likely has enough for 100 lifetimes so Vivian won't be worrying about bills anytime soon. And perhaps that's why she did what she did.

She knows money will always be there.

I agree as a parent you have to ensure that your child doesn’t get the mind virus. Musk has what 8 kids and many businesses. He probably doesn’t have the time to dedicate towards his children.

Musk believes heavily in genetics and thinks population loss is a major issue so he wants to essentially help repopulate the world with smart kids. He even donated his semen to a single executive of his who wanted to get pregnant. But kids are needy, they require a lot of attention, and it’s not all genetics some of it is environment and he just doesn’t have the time.
