JUST IN:Elon Musk’s daughter breaks silence with brutal five-word dig after Trump feud explodes…see more
Amid her father’s ongoing feud with Donald Trump, Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk’s 21-year-old trans daughter, subtly reacted to her tech mogul father’s explosive fallout with the President.
Wilson came into the spotlight last year after speaking her mind about her estranged father, who disowned her years after she came out — claiming he was “tricked” into letting her transition at the age of 16. She’s vehemently denied those claims.
The Tesla CEO took to his social media platform, X, on Thursday to lob attack after attack against the president after the latter slammed Musk during a White House press conference as he met with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

Tensions arose between the two after Musk criticized Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which includes a provision that would eliminate the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit — which is designed to encourage people to purchase electric vehicles.
Trump later took to his Truth Social platform to slam Musk. The feud lasted well into the night, with the insults and threats growing stronger every minute as memes littered the internet about the messy “breakup” of the pair’s Oval Office “bromance.”
Wilson posted several snaps to her Instagram Stories in response to the feud, one of which included a video of herself laughing. It was captioned, “I love being proven right.”
She can be heard saying, “I do not want to comment,” then burst into a fit of laughter. Another post on Threads included the song Job Application by Chase Icon with the caption, “Such beauty in life.”
During his meeting with Merz on Thursday, Trump appeared to suggest that Elon Musk has “Trump derangement syndrome” as he said his former adviser was “disturbed” by the slashing of the electric vehicle tax mandate in his “big, beautiful bill.”
“Elon’s upset because we took the EV mandate — which was a lot of money for electric vehicles — and they’re having a hard time with electric vehicles, and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy. Elon knew this from the beginning. He knew it from a long time ago,” Trump said. “I know that disturbed him.”
The president surprised press in attendance and viewers at home as he spoke for nearly 10 minutes about his former adviser while sitting beside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office. He said he was “disappointed” in Musk, especially since Musk “knew the inner workings of the bill.” When he left, Musk may have developed “Trump derangement syndrome,” the president appeared to tell reporters in the White House.
“I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here — better than you people. He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden, he had a problem, and he only developed a problem when he found out we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate because that’s billions and billions of dollars,” Trump said.
“It really is unfair,” he continued. “We want to have cars of all types — electric. We want to have electric, but we want to have a gasoline combustion. We want to have different. We want to have hybrids. We want to have all. We want to be able to sell everything.”
Trump said Musk “never had a problem until right after he left.” He added that he’s disappointed in Musk also because he said he’s “helped him out a lot.” He may have been referencing how he publicly promoted Teslas at the White House in March.
Violent protests and vandalism has plagued Tesla in the U.S. and abroad, spurred on by Musk’s involvement with the White House. As the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk advocated for and caused massive cuts to several federal agencies and effectively gutted the federal workforce. Americans are mad.
Tesla sales were down by 71% in the first quarter this year, it was reported, and the board of the company implored Musk to return full-time to heading the company and leave his work with the Trump administration behind.
“I’ll tell you — he’s not the first. People leave my administration and they love us. And then, at some point, they miss it so badly. And some of them embrace it, and some of them actually become hostile,” Trump said. “I don’t know what it is. It’s like Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it.”
“They leave, they wake up in the morning, and the glamor is gone,” he continued. “The whole world is different, and they become hostile. I don’t know what it is. Somebody’ll write a book about us and let us know.”
Trump also said he believes Musk is upset with him because he didn’t accept the tech mogul’s recommendation for who to head NASA.
“He wanted, and rightfully, he recommended somebody that he, I guess, knew very well — I’m sure he respected him — to run NASA, and I didn’t think it was appropriate. He happened to be a Democrat — like totally Democrat. And I said, ‘You know, look. We won. We get certain privileges. And one of the privileges is we don’t have to appoint a Democrat,'” Trump said.
“He wanted a certain person, and we said no. I can understand why he’s upset,” the president added.
Musk responded to Trump in real time on X. “Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,” Musk wrote in one. “In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.”
He later wrote that Trump had never shown him the bill as the president claimed, writing, “False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”
Musk then slammed Trump’s “ingratitude” on X on Thursday, claiming that Trump “would have lost the election” had it not been for Musk’s help.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “Such ingratitude,” he replied under it.
Trump responded on Truth Social, penning three scathing posts, the first of which reads, “Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!”
He then threatened to nix Musk’s contracts with the federal government: “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
What irritated Trump the most, however, seemed to be the timing of the bromance breakup. “I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,” the president wrote. “This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It’s a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that. I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
That prompted Musk to issue perhaps the most savage message in the feud — accusing Trump of being in the Epstein files, which, he theorized, is why Trump won’t make them public.
“@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,” Musk wrote on X. “Have a nice day, DJT!”
He also threatened to completely cancel the SpaceX Dragon program.
