Instead, she revealed she now shares an apartment with three roommates because it’s cheaper to live that way in Los Angeles.
She added:
“I can afford food. I have friends, a shelter, and some expendable income, which is nice and much more fortunate than most people my age in Los Angeles."
Vivian’s fight with Elon Musk
Vivian officially cut ties with the billionaire in 2022 when she filed a petition to change her gender and name. Since then, their relationship has been openly bitter.
She has repeatedly criticised her father online, once calling him a “pathetic man-child” who could not accept her gender identity.
Musk, on the other hand, has said his daughter was “k!lled by the woke mind virus” and claimed he was “tricked” into letting her transition at 16.
Despite her current reality, Vivian acknowledged her privileged upbringing. She attended a private high school filled with celebrity kids, including Apple Martin, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.

Vivian speaks on a new chapter
Vivian, now an aspiring model, already has an agent and has graced the cover of Teen Vogue. But she confessed that she struggles with the spotlight.
She stated:
“I fought so hard for so long to be viewed as a regular person… there was a moment right before I became famous where no one knew who I was. I miss that."
Still, she admitted that fame has its perks: “I like the fact that it makes me money.”
