Father Musk is celebrating Trump’s election victory and laughing all the way to the bank – his daughter, however, is now planning to leave the country.
“I don’t see my future in the United States,” she writes on Threads after Trump won the US presidential election,
Tesla founder Elon Musk has been one of Trump’s most visible supporters during the election campaign. Now he is celebrating Trump’s victory. One less happy about the election result is one of Musk’s twelve children, 20-year-old daughter Vivian Wilson, who is now planning to leave the country.
In a message published on Wednesday on the social media platform Threads, Wilson writes that she will be better off in another country.
“I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but it was confirmed for me yesterday. I don’t see my future in the US,” she writes.
“Even if he’s only been in office for four years, even if the anti-transgression laws somehow magically don’t materialize, those who voted for this aren’t going away any time soon,” she further writes.
“Believe that all rich people are evil”
Wilson is the older of the twins Musk had with author Justine Musk. She has a strained relationship with her father, accusing him of being an absent father and “adulterer” who did not accept her gender reassignment.
Wilson has severed ties with his father since 2022, according to a biography by author and journalist Walter Isaacson. Musk has previously called his daughter a “communist” who has been brainwashed into “thinking that all rich people are evil”.
Top posts in the Trump administration
Musk has spent the equivalent of almost 1.3 billion kroner on Trump’s presidential campaign. An investment that has now borne fruit. He has already made billions from his association with Trump. After Wednesday’s election victory, Tesla’s share price surged over 12 percent, according to the BBC.
Even before the election results, it was clear that the billionaire asked Trump that some of his closest associates at the space company Space X would be given top positions in the Trump administration, according to The New York Times.
Two sources tell the newspaper that Musk wants, among other things, to bring people into the Ministry of Defense.
