Teen Vogue has published an exclusive interview with Vivian Jenna Wilson, 20, daughter of Elon and Justine Musk. The Q&A offers insight into her life, interests, and thoughts on her famous father.
According to Versha Sharma, editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue, the magazine had been following Vivian’s online presence since last fall’s presidential election. “We realized that she has a powerful and interesting voice,” said Sharma.
The interview was conducted over several months via Zoom with writer Ella Yurman. Ms. Wilson discussed her experiences as a trans woman, her relationship with social media, and her politics.
When asked about her father, Elon Musk’s, views on the trans community, Ms. Wilson responded that she feels they have shifted to the right but believes this shift was not due to her being trans. “Him going further on the right is not because of me,” she said.
Ms. Sharma stated that addressing trans issues is a priority for Teen Vogue and aims to show Vivian in a broader light, beyond just her connection to Elon Musk. The interview also highlights Ms. Wilson’s sense of humor and humanity.
The article has sparked a reaction from fans and critics alike, with many praising the magazine’s efforts to center Vivian’s experiences as a trans woman.
