Elon Musk’s Transgender Announces Plans To Leave U.S. After Trump’s Victory
In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s recent presidential victory, Vivian Wilson, the 20-year-old estranged daughter of billionaire Elon Musk, has publicly stated her intent to leave the United States.
Wilson, who is transgender, shared her decision on the social media platform Threads, citing discomfort with the country’s current political landscape.
“I don’t see my future in the United States,” she wrote. “I’ve felt this way for some time, but yesterday solidified it. Even if Trump’s presidency lasts just four years, his supporters and their ideology will remain, making me feel unwelcome in my own country.”

Born Xavier Musk in 2004, Vivian transitioned and legally changed her name and gender in 2022, further distancing herself from her father by adopting her mother’s maiden name, Wilson. Court documents from the time reveal her desire to sever ties with Musk, stating, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way.”
The relationship between Musk and Wilson has been strained, with Musk reportedly describing his daughter’s beliefs as “communist” and expressing regret over his previous support for her use of puberty blockers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Musk claimed he was “misled” into signing documents that supported Wilson’s transition, adding, “I didn’t fully understand the situation; I was informed Xavier might be at risk of self-harm.”
Musk, who has been outspoken on issues surrounding gender identity and treatment, has previously labeled puberty blockers as “sterilisation drugs” and criticised gender dysphoria, calling it “incredibly evil.” He stated, “I feel as though I lost my son to the ‘woke mind virus,’ as they call it.”
Wilson has pushed back against her father’s comments, revealing that Musk had minimal involvement in her upbringing and often critiqued her for her “femininity and queerness.” She commented, “He never truly knew me as a child. I was often mocked for expressing myself, and it showed his true views on queer people.”
As debates around LGBTQ+ rights intensify under Trump’s leadership, Vivian’s planned departure reflects the challenges faced by many young Americans seeking an inclusive environment, highlighting a generational divide in perspectives on identity and freedom.

The Senior Pastor of Freedom Life International Christian Center, Richard Tochukwu, has declared that gospel music possesses the spiritual capacity to transform Nigeria, describing it as a divine instrument capable of restoring hope and unity in the nation.
Speaking during an interaction with journalists, the cleric said music inspired by God’s Word can positively influence Nigeria’s spiritual and socio-political landscape by promoting peace, comfort and moral revival.
According to him, gospel music goes beyond entertainment and should be seen as a ministry tool for national healing.

“Gospel music is not just sound; it carries power. When songs are inspired by Scripture, they can heal hearts, restore faith and redirect a nation toward righteousness,” he said.
Pastor Tochukwu made the remarks while discussing his latest worship single, “I Want To Pray,” a spiritually reflective song produced by Audio5.
He explained that the track was created to encourage believers to remain steadfast in prayer and maintain consistent fellowship with God.
The song draws inspiration from Luke 18:1, which urges believers to pray always and not lose heart.
A spiritual son of Paul Enenche, Pastor Tochukwu revealed that most of his songs are birthed from deep study of Scripture.
“Sometimes while studying or preaching from a passage, a melody begins to flow. The lyrics are drawn directly from the Word. Our songs are intentional; they carry the same message we preach,” he explained.
Reflecting on his journey, he recounted beginning as a drummer who also sang before discovering what he described as a divine instruction to minister through music.
“I realised that you don’t minister only through preaching. God made me understand that songs are another channel through which His Word can reach people. Every release is backed by Scripture,” he added.
Pastor Tochukwu currently serves in Lagos, combining pastoral leadership with music ministry.
The audio and video for “I Want To Pray” are now available on major digital streaming platforms.
