In one clip Wilson shared on Instagram on January 26, her hair cascades all the way down to her lower back. Despite the dimly lit street, the video still highlights the natural shine of her blonde hair, which is full of volume and catches the eye effortlessly.
Such clips attract fan comments, praising the hair’s beauty, as one fan wrote, “The hair 🔥🔥🔥🔥.” Curious about her secret, someone asked, “How is it so healthy or look so healthy?! Teach me ur ways.”

Wilson’s hair had also stolen the spotlight in another post shared on Threads in November 2024. Flowing flawlessly to the side with a slight middle part, her locks framed her face as she posed for stunning selfies.

She captioned the post, “Brb gonna go blind my enemies with my hair ✨,” sparking admiration from fans. One excited fan envisioned her future on-screen, “Honestly, your hair looks amazing. If you’re into acting, you could play Rapunzel or Aurora (both have your hair).”

Another admirer noted, “It is a literal crime you’re not starring in shampoo commercials.” Another fan declared, “Your hair is magnificent.” A third user enthused, “Gorgeous.”
In another recent TikTok clip, Wilson opened up about learning about her step-sibling through social media rather than from her family. However, instead of the conversation centering on her revelation, fans were once again captivated by her hair.
One person simply gushed, “Your hair 😍” Another fan admitted, “I’m so jealous of your hair length.” Lastly, another fan urged Wilson, “This is very off topic but pleaseeee make a video on how you take care of your hair it’s gorgeous and so healthy for that length [sic].”
Despite the flood of compliments about her stunning hair, Wilson has yet to reveal the secrets behind its impressive shine and volume. Fans continue to wonder how she maintains such healthy, long locks, eagerly waiting for her to share her haircare tips.
Beyond beauty discussions, Wilson has spoken about her strained relationship with her father. As a transgender woman, she has been open about their estrangement, with both addressing it publicly. Musk, in interviews and social media posts, has stated that she was “not a girl.”
“I lost my son, essentially,” Musk noted, adding that she was “dead, killed by the woke mind virus.” He also claimed he had been “tricked” into approving gender-affirming medical treatment for her at 16. Musk added that he was told Wilson might commit suicide.

Wilson, however, refuted his claims, describing him as an absent father who was unkind to her for being queer and feminine. She asserted that Elon Musk was fully aware of his decision when consenting to her treatment, even if he hesitated initially.
Wilson recalled that in 2020 when she was 16, she sought treatment for severe gender dysphoria but needed parental consent under California law. While her mother was supportive, she said Musk was initially resistant.

She spent months messaging him about it, but he insisted that they discuss it in person. By then, she believed their relationship was already strained. When she finally met with him and presented the medical forms, she said he reviewed them multiple times, once in her presence and again privately, before signing.
She emphasized that he was fully aware of the treatment’s effects and was not misled in any way. Wilson started with puberty blockers before transitioning to hormone replacement therapy, describing the treatments as essential for her well-being and for many other transgender individuals.

She expressed concern that access to such care often requires individuals to present themselves as being in extreme distress to gain approval. She felt that Musk unfairly judged her situation based on his perception of risk. The expectation to prove the severity of her struggle, she said, felt deeply unsettling.
Furthermore, according to her, Musk’s remarks on her have gone too far, prompting her to speak up. “I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged, which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide,” she declared.
Wilson and her twin brother, Griffin Musk, were born to Musk’s first wife, author Justine Musk. Following their parents’ divorce in 2008, they split their time between homes in the Los Angeles area under shared custody.

However, Wilson recalled that Musk had been largely absent from her life, leaving her and her siblings in the care of their mother or nannies despite the custody arrangement. From an early age, she felt unsupported by her father, describing him as cold, quick-tempered, “uncaring” and “narcissistic.”

She recounted an instance during a childhood road trip, which she later realized was more of a promotional event for one of his cars. Throughout the trip, she said he frequently lashed out at her, particularly over the pitch of her voice, making her feel berated and humiliated.

Wilson also claimed that Musk pressured her to suppress her femininity, discouraging her from expressing traits he deemed too soft or delicate. Even in elementary school, she said, he urged her to deepen her voice in an attempt to make her appear more masculine.
Musk hit back, claiming that Wilson was “born gay and slightly autistic.” He added that as a child, she exhibited certain stereotypes, such as a love for musicals and an enthusiastic use of the word “fabulous!” when describing clothing.

However, Wilson refuted these anecdotes, saying they were inaccurate, though she acknowledged that she displayed other traditionally feminine traits during her childhood. She also criticized her father’s portrayal of her early years.
Wilson stated that he had little knowledge of what she was like as a child because he was largely absent from her life. The limited time he was around, she said, was marked by relentless harassment over her femininity and queerness.

“He was there, I want to say, maybe 10% of the time. That’s generous. He had half custody, and he fully was not there. It was just a fact of life at the time, so I don’t think I realized just how abnormal of an experience it was,” she opened up.
Wilson also expressed frustration at being reduced to a simplistic stereotype, suggesting that Musk’s comments reflected his broader views on queer individuals and children.

She described experiencing two coming-out moments in her life, first as gay in eighth grade and later as transgender at 16. Still, Wilson did not remember Musk’s reaction to her initial coming out, and by the time he learned about her gender identity, she was no longer in his household.
The pandemic had begun, and she was living exclusively with her mother, whom she credited for being a strong source of support. “I love her a lot,” she gushed.
In recent years, Musk has aligned himself with conservative politics, actively opposing policies that support transgender individuals. He announced plans to withdraw his businesses from California in response to a state law preventing schools from forcing transgender students to disclose their identities to their parents.

On X, he has repeatedly criticized transgender rights, including medical treatments for minors and the use of pronouns that differ from those assigned at birth. He has also amplified anti-trans rhetoric and supported criminalizing healthcare providers who offer gender-affirming care to minors.
Following his acquisition of X, formerly Twitter, in 2022, he removed protections for transgender users, including a policy against deadnaming. Deadnaming is the act of calling a transgender person by an incorrect name. The name could have been given at birth or one they no longer use.
In light of this, Wilson, now a college student pursuing language studies, has chosen to distance herself from him. In 2022, she legally petitioned to change her name in California, formally severing ties with her father in the process.
The court filing read, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.” Wilson now emphasizes that she is an adult, whose life should be defined by her own choices and not her father’s.
