Elon Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson has reacted to the explosive fallout between her father and President Donald Trump.
The 21-year-old posted a video on her Instagram Stories of herself laughing, with the caption “I love being proven right.”
Musk and Trump began publicly feuding after the Tesla CEO ramped up his criticisms of the president’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which he condemned for increasing the budget deficit.
The former allies have continued in a war of words, with Musk on Thursday making the bombshell allegation that Trump was in the so-called Epstein files, referring to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Wilson, who is transgender, has been estranged from her father for years and is now a sharp critic. Musk previously said that his child was “dead — killed by the woke mind virus.”
This is a developing story.
