In the latest chapter of Elon Musk’s increasingly public unraveling, the spotlight didn’t just come from critics, trolls, or ex-lovers this time—it came from inside the house. Or more specifically, from his estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, who added her own scathing commentary to the digital storm surrounding her billionaire father’s humiliating livestream meltdown.
While the tech mogul fumbled through his Path of Exile 2 stream—complete with dying repeatedly to a tutorial boss, blasting Grimes’ music for emotional damage control, and rage-quitting in front of thousands—Vivian’s past remarks about her father’s gaming abilities were resurrected by viewers and weaponized in real time.
It wasn’t just another jab from the internet. This was personal. Brutally personal.
Vivian Wilson, the transgender daughter Elon Musk has reportedly been estranged from for years, previously appeared on a Twitch stream with Hasan Piker, where she dropped a few nuclear-level truth bombs about her father’s gaming skills—or lack thereof.
“I can expose something that I think is really f—— funny,” she told Piker. “He would try to constantly get us to play ranked with him, and I’m 90% sure it was just because we could carry him.”
According to Vivian, she and her brother were essentially Musk’s lifeline in Overwatch, a game where carrying a weak teammate is a chore only the most patient players tolerate. Elon, as she described, wasn’t just a mediocre gamer—he was “god awful.”
The kind of player who probably thinks a KD ratio is a new cryptocurrency.
And while these comments were initially shared in an interview months ago, the internet never forgets. One viewer of Musk’s Path of Exile 2 stream resurrected the quote mid-chat, reminding the world that not even his own kids could vouch for his so-called “elite gamer” status.
The situation spiraled further when the topic of Musk bragging about being a “pro” at Path of Exile 2 came up. According to Vivian, that was a load of nonsense.
“I don’t believe the f—— ‘I am a pro Path of Exile whatever the f—.’ No the f— you are not. This is so cringe. Why would you even pretend to be—it’s fine not to be a gamer,” she said.
Let’s pause and acknowledge how devastatingly on point that takedown is. This wasn’t some random Reddit troll. This was Musk’s own daughter, directly calling him out for larping as a hardcore gamer when in reality, he couldn’t handle a basic boss fight without rage-quitting and blaming his “connection.”
It’s one thing to be roasted by strangers on the internet. It’s another level entirely when your own kid calls your gaming skills cringe and publicly admits that you faked your skill level like a teenager lying on their resume.
For a man obsessed with legacy—through rockets, electric cars, social media empires, and a rapidly growing number of children—Musk probably didn’t envision one of his offspring going viral for publicly dunking on his gaming ability. Yet here we are.
Vivian’s comments re-emerged at the perfect time, as Musk’s gaming livestream was already crumbling into meme-fodder. His awkward “lost connection” excuse, his bizarre music choices (hello, Grimes), and the unrelenting trolling in the chat made it feel more like a digital intervention than a game session.
Vivian’s earlier claims only reinforced what viewers already suspected: Elon Musk is not the gamer he claims to be. He’s just another rich guy pressing buttons and praying for respect he didn’t earn.
Vivian’s relationship with Musk has been rocky for years. She legally changed her name to sever ties with her father, and her public appearances have mostly involved distancing herself from his image and ideology.
The gaming criticism, then, wasn’t just about Overwatch or Path of Exile. It was symbolic of a deeper rift—a generational clash between a man obsessed with public perception and a daughter unafraid to tell the world exactly what she thinks.
When players referenced Vivian’s statements in the PoE2 chat, it hit harder than any insult about Tesla’s falling stock or Twitter’s collapse. Because this was the one angle Musk couldn’t meme away.
He could laugh off fake Ashley St. Clair messages, ignore Grimes-related music jokes, and pretend to be above the online noise. But when it’s your daughter publicly calling you a fraud—especially on a platform you’re streaming from—it cuts deep.
And the internet knew it. Screenshots of her quotes flooded Reddit, Twitter, and Discord channels, often layered over images of Musk’s character dying repeatedly in-game. Memes titled “When your daughter carries you harder than your WiFi signal” began making the rounds. The humiliation was total.

One of the strangest dynamics about Musk’s public persona is how invincible he tries to appear. Whether he’s firing entire departments with a tweet, launching rockets into orbit, or wading into political drama, he carries himself like a man who’s untouchable.
But Vivian’s commentary stripped that armor away.
Here was a billionaire pretending to be a pro gamer, failing live, and having his own child confirm to the world that his skills were imaginary. It was raw, unfiltered, and genuinely funny in a tragic sort of way. The same man who built self-driving cars apparently needed his teenagers to guide him through Overwatch lobbies.
And worse—he pretended he was good. That, for Vivian, was the real offense. Not being bad at games. Everyone starts somewhere. But the fronting? The false bravado? That was the final straw.“Why would you even pretend to be—it’s fine not to be a gamer,” she said.
A statement so simple, yet so lethal, it should be framed and mounted in every tech bro’s office as a reminder: authenticity matters.
Vivian’s words added a new layer to Musk’s livestream disaster, one that no PR team can scrub. Because at the end of the day, viewers don’t care about stock portfolios or satellite networks when they’re watching a man crumble under the weight of his own delusions in a video game chat.
They care about honesty. And Vivian, like the rest of the internet, wasn’t buying the act.
From impersonated exes to livestream meltdowns and now daughter-led takedowns, Musk’s attempt at digital relatability has backfired in glorious fashion. His livestream wasn’t just a gaming session—it was a collapsing mirror of ego, deflection, and family drama, all in glorious 1080p.
And whether he liked it or not, Vivian Wilson became one of the most honest narrators of the whole disaster.
