Justine Wilson Says Musk Cut Off Trans Daughter's Health Insurance

Elon Musk's treatment of his transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, is the subject of allegations from his first wife, Justine Wilson, in the upcoming documentary "Musk." Justine says Musk viewed Vivian's transition as a profound personal loss and cut off her health insurance one day after she came out as transgender.

According to Justine, the insurance cutoff followed a message Musk asked her to relay to their daughter. The allegations add to the public account of the strained relationship between Musk and Vivian, who has distanced herself from her father's surname.

In the documentary, Justine describes the emotional impact of Musk's public comments about Vivian's transition. She says her daughter experienced pain after Musk publicly expressed his belief that he had lost her to what he called the "woke mind virus."

Justine said Musk's public statements communicated his views directly to Vivian, rather than helping repair their relationship.

"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," said Justine Wilson.

Justine also described what happened after Vivian came out as transgender. According to her account, Musk asked her to pass along a message expressing continued love for their daughter, but the family's health insurance arrangement changed the following day.

"I’ll always love her," was the message Musk reportedly asked Justine to convey to Vivian, according to the account in the documentary.

The documentary's account presents the insurance cutoff as part of the ongoing family dispute. The source report does not provide further details about the insurance policy, the circumstances of its termination, or any response from Musk to Justine's allegations.

Vivian has maintained a strained relationship with Musk in the years since their falling out. She dropped his surname several years ago and later appeared in a series of advertisements opposing artificial intelligence.

In one of those advertisements, Vivian expressed skepticism about the idea that every problem should be addressed through technological intervention.

"Some things aren't meant to be fixed," Vivian Wilson said in the anti-AI advertising campaign.
