Elon Musk’s daughter insists she is ‘financially independent’

Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Wilson opened up about her financial status in a new interview.

Speaking at Teen Vogue’s 2025 Summit, she clarified that while many people assume she receives money from her father, who is the richest man in the world, she is actually financially independent.

“I’m financially independent,” the 21 year old explained, “I’m making money now. Pre-Teen Vogue [cover], no. People have a lot of assumptions, and you just kinda have to deal with that.”

In a recent interview with The Cut, she insisted that she does not have as much money as people think she does, “People assume I have a lot of money, I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal. My mom is rich, right? But obviously the other one is unimaginable degrees of wealthy.”

Musk and Wilson are notably estranged, with her calling him and his politics out several times previously

Elsewhere in the interview, she revealed that she has enrolled in community college, “College is expensive. I don’t have that kind of inheritance. I don’t have a desire to be super rich. 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 has gained support from thousands of netizens on the internet for standing against Musk, who was previously close to Donald Trump, and refusing his wealth.
