Elon Musk's estranged daughter has called out her father's plans to colonize Mars during an appearance on a live stream.
Vivian Wilson has spoke out against her dad, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, regarding his talks of one day colonizing Mars.
The 20-year-old has previously spoken at length about her childhood, and her estranged relationship with her father.

Wilson, who is one of Musk's children from his first marriage to Justine Wilson, underwent the process to change her name in 2022, as she didn't want to be 'related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form'.
However, despite distancing herself from him, the Tesla CEO has continued to speak about his daughter online, and also claimed that the transgender woman was 'killed' by a 'woke mind virus'- leading her to hit back.
She has also admitted that she isn’t sure how many siblings she has, and that she also doesn’t keep up with that ‘side’ of the family.

However, that doesn’t mean that she isn’t up to date with the news on her father, particularly when it comes to his aspirations.
When she appeared on the live stream of Hasan Piker, she gave her opinion on her father's claims that he will be colonizing Mars.
Musk has been talking publicly about his plans to colonize Mars by 2050, and explained that he has set in motion a process this year to deliver to the planet a humanoid robot named Optimus.
If all goes well, Musk said humans could start landing on Mars as soon as 2029.

To this, she bluntly told viewers watching: “It’s not happening, people.”

Then, she asked people if they knew ‘how long it would take to colonize’ Mars, and to ‘terraform that thing’.
She added: “It’s a marketing scheme that everyone somehow fell for despite being debunked by a f****** Google search.”
In other areas of the stream, Wilson explained that her dad’s political ideology has been set in stone since at least 2016, and that he was ‘never on the left’.
While some believe that Musk became ‘right-wing’ after Wilson transitioned, she says that it’s untrue.

The pair’s relationship has been strained for some time, with her becoming financially independent from her father in 2020 after her transition, which is something that Musk claims he was tricked into.
He claimed that that his 'son' had been 'killed by the woke mind virus' and that he had been tricked into signing a form to put Wilson on puberty blockers.
Musk said: “I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys.
“This was before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. I was told Xavier (Wilson’s previous name) might commit suicide.”
He then said that ‘people that are promoting this should go to prison’ in regard to body dysphoria.
To this, Wilson responded to her Threads and claimed that her father made up the claims because he wasn't around when she was a child and also accused him of harassing her 'femininity and queerness'.
