Elon Musk’s first wife, Justine Wilson, has spoken about the strained relationship between the billionaire entrepreneur and their transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, alleging that Musk cancelled their daughter’s health insurance shortly after she came out as transgender.
Justine reportedly made the claims in the upcoming documentary Musk, where she discussed the impact of the estrangement on Vivian and her relationship with her father.
According to Justine, Vivian was hurt by his public comments about her transition, including his claim that he had lost his child to the “woke mind virus”.
“Elon was telling her, through telling the world, what that point of view actually was. And Elon never tried to repair things, that’s not in his nature,” Justine said.

Justine Wilson Makes Health Insurance Allegation
In the documentary, Justine alleged that Musk asked her to tell Vivian, “I’ll always love her,” after their relationship became strained.
However, she claimed that the following day, Musk cancelled Vivian’s health insurance.
The allegation adds another dimension to the public dispute surrounding Musk and his daughter. The reported account has not been independently established by the information provided in the documentary excerpts.
Vivian Wilson Distanced Herself From Her Father
Vivian, one of Musk’s children with Justine, publicly distanced herself from her father several years ago.
She legally changed her name and gender designation in 2022 and requested to be recognised by her new name, Vivian Jenna Wilson. She also indicated that she no longer wished to be associated with Musk in any way.
He has publicly discussed their estrangement and attributed it to what he described as ideological influences. Vivian, meanwhile, has become increasingly visible in public discussions about her identity and her relationship with her father.
Musk’s Comments About His Daughter
He has previously made public statements about Vivian’s transition, including his claim that he had been misled about gender-affirming care.
Those remarks attracted widespread attention and criticism, while the disagreement highlighted the deeply personal issues surrounding gender identity, family relationships and parental acceptance.
Justine’s comments in the documentary offer her perspective on the family dispute and its emotional consequences for Vivian.
Vivian Appears in AI-Critical Advertisements
Vivian has also appeared in advertisements criticising artificial intelligence, delivering a message that questions the idea that every problem should be solved through technology.
“Some things aren’t meant to be fixed,” she said in the advertisement.
The statement has drawn attention in the context of Musk’s prominent role in the technology industry and his involvement in artificial intelligence development.
The documentary is expected to provide further insight into Musk’s personal life and family relationships. However, the claims concerning Vivian’s health insurance remain allegations attributed to Justine and should be treated as such unless independently confirmed.
