The owner of Tesla is reportedly 'devastated' over his daughter severing their relationship and dropping his surname.

Walter Isaacson, a distinguished biographer who has spent years studying the enigmatic life of Elon Musk, recently offered a revealing look into the intricate dynamics between Musk and his oldest daughter.

A snippet from his forthcoming book, 'Elon Musk,' published in the Wall Street Journal, explores the emotional toll on Musk when his daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, decided to disassociate from him and change her surname.

The emotional saga unfolded last year, as Vivian Jenna Wilson legally pursued a name change, giving up her father's last name.

Legal records offer insights into her reasons, revealing that Wilson wanted her identity to be recognized as female.

She explained: "Gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

Wilson has adopted her mother's surname, Justine Wilson, a Canadian author who was Musk's spouse from 2000 to 2008.

Isaacson, in his forthcoming biography, suggests that this shift in family structure has had a profound emotional impact on Musk.

The biography delves into the deep emotional repercussions Musk has experienced due to his daughter distancing herself from him.

Reportedly, this break in family ties has prompted Musk to express concerns about what he calls the 'woke mind virus,' which he believes is proliferating across the United States.

In conversations with his biographer, Musk reportedly stated that making 'civilization multi-planetary' would be impossible unless the so-called 'woke mind virus' is effectively combated.

Isaacson's upcoming work further reveals the emotional strain that this situation has imposed on Musk.

Wilson confided in her uncle's spouse about her transgender identity and the change of her name, asking for the utmost secrecy when breaking the news to her father.

This initiated a heart-wrenching divide between the father and daughter.

Following their falling-out, Musk openly discussed his daughter's ideological leanings, describing her as having shifted from socialist views to embracing outright communism, along with holding views that vilify affluence.

Musk confirmed the family estrangement, stating: "Can't win them all."

Yet, Isaacson's biography discloses that this familial split has been an emotional burden for Musk.

Remarkably, the SpaceX founder has confessed that this schism with his daughter has "pained him more than anything in his life since the infant death of his firstborn child, Nevada."

Although Musk has made attempts to repair the relationship, it seems that his daughter is steadfast in her choice to keep her distance from him.

The emotional intricacy of the situation is undeniable, with Musk wrestling not just with the estrangement but also with his own set of beliefs.

Justine Wilson, the mother of Wilson, has publicly backed her daughter, expressing her pride on X, which was formerly known as Twitter before undergoing changes influenced by Musk.

Isaacson's upcoming biography also explores Musk's relentless work ethic, highlighting episodes where he enters what has been fittingly termed "demon mode."

This intense state of concentration and urgency, while effective in "getting things done," leaves little space for those who aren't aligned with Musk's relentless determination.

Musk's multifaceted private life remains an ongoing topic of public intrigue and analysis.

As more chapters of Isaacson's biography become available, they are expected to further illuminate the complex character of Musk and the significant challenges he faces, both in his professional and personal life.
