Sorry? TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The best, your father, the reporter repeated, to which Wilson simply replied: Okay, before walking away and ending the exchange.Footage of the awkward encounter quickly circulated online, reigniting discussion about the well-documented estrangement between Wilson and the Tesla chief executive.She doesn't want to acknowledge the fact that the doors are opening up because of who her father is, one viewer wrote on X.Another posted: Have your father be the only reason you are known. Use that to make money. Also, get mad if someone brings him up.Why is she famous, again? Respectfully, I’d like to know what she is worth interviewing for? a third penned.However, many rushed to defend Wilson, given the model's estrangement from the billionaire.I'd do the same if my dad constantly deadnamed me and said I was dead because of the 'woke mind virus,' one supporter wrote.Another said: Why ask her about her personal life when they know it’s an uncomfortable topic for her? Just stop harassing the poor woman and let her live her life on her own terms.LATEST DEVELOPMENTSSharon Osbourne wades into Henry Nowak row as she makes urgent plea: ‘Get the justice he deserves!’BBC MasterChef row erupts as fans fume 'who is he?' after John Torode replacement confirmedBBC Mrs Brown's Boys star devastated as wife dies months after tragic stage 4 cancer diagnosisElon Musk’s estranged transgender son storms off from interview after being asked about his father. pic.twitter.com/9piWpYpBml— Oli London (@OliLondonTV) June 3, 2026 The fractured relationship between the X owner and his child has played out publicly for years.In 2024, Wilson launched a scathing attack on the tech entrepreneur, describing him as uncaring and narcissistic.The social media personality accused him of being absent throughout their childhood, telling NBC News: He doesn't know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn't there.And in the little time that he was, I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness.Wilson also labelled the businessman cruel and quick to anger.The public dispute first emerged in 2022 when Wilson filed court documents declaring they no longer wish to be related to Musk, legally changing both their name and gender.Wilson later clarified on Threads: I want to make absolutely clear that I have disowned him and not the other way round.Musk first addressed the estrangement publicly in 2023, telling author Walter Isaacson that Wilson had become a full communist and attributing their political views partly to Crossroads, the expensive private school Wilson attended in Santa Monica.In an interview with Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson in 2024, the SpaceX founder claimed he had been deceived into approving his child's gender transition.I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier, he said, using Wilson's former name.Musk stated he had been warned that his child might take their own life, adding: I lost my son, essentially. They call it 'deadnaming' for a reason. The reason they call it 'deadnaming' is because your son is dead, so my son, Xavier, is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.
