Elon Musk said “full-on communism” taught in schools led to his estrangement from his teenage daughter.
There’s “a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil,” Musk told the Financial Times.
Musk’s daughter recently filed to change her name, saying she doesn’t want to be related to Musk.

Elon Musk blames what he views as a societal hatred for the wealthy as the reason behind his fractured relationship with his teenage daughter.

During a recent interview for the Financial Times’ “Lunch with the FT” series, Musk shared his views on a range of topics, Donald Trump’s social network and his current political leanings. While Musk described his views as moderate, he lamented what he sees as the negative impact of liberal politics on society, particularly their effect on elite universities.

Those ideals, which he described as communist, are behind his estrangement from his teenage daughter, he said.

“It’s full-on communism … and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil,” Musk told the FT.
