We already knew all too well that Elon Musk‘s estranged daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson is NOT a fan of the tech mogul. The trans 20-year-old is maybe his MOST vocal critic! But now we’re learning new shocking info about just what kind of parent he’s been… thanks to how unexpected the arrivals of some of her (many, many) siblings have been!!
On Thursday, Teen Vogue published a lengthy interview with the social media influencer and unlikely public figure. She chatted about all kinds of things during the discussion, including RuPaul’s Drag Race and a refreshingly nuanced view on whether she considers herself famous.
But like we said, it’s the surprise sibling revelations that really piqued our attention! Let’s get into it…

At one point in her chat with the mag, fresh off slamming the X (Twitter) owner for a variety of important issues, Vivian was asked whether she’s currently on good terms with her dozen-plus siblings. And that answer is… well… no. She’s not on any terms with most of them. She doesn’t even know how many siblings she has!!! Vivian explained:
“That’s a question. I will say I do not actually know how many siblings I have, if you include half-siblings. That’s just a fun fact. It’s really good for two truths and a lie.”
Dayum!
Viv ain’t the first kid with a dad like that. But probably the first time he’s been the richest guy on the planet! Someone who allegedly is using all his money to make sure his various baby mommas give him sons, like some kind of techbro Genghis Khan. And using just as much money to keep it secret, we guess?
Case in point: Elon’s infamous Shivon Zilis pregnancy saga. The more recent Zilis “thing,” to use Vivian’s word, was a total secret. From everyone! Including Vivian herself! She revealed:
“I found out about the Shivon Zilis thing the same time everyone else did. I had no idea before that.”
And that’s not the only birth that caught Vivian by surprise, either. Grimes‘ baby-making ways with the world’s richest man were also a complete mystery to the 20-year-old. So much so that Vivian only found out about the news via Reddit:
“I found out about Grimes having a second child because a drag queen posted about it on Reddit. For a time, me and Grimes were not really in communication because I wasn’t in communication with anyone in that family, which still holds true. Tatianna from RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 2 and RuPaul’s Drag Race: All-Stars 2 tweeted, ‘[Not] Grimes popp[ing] out another axolotl,’ which made the front-page of the RuPaul’s Drag Race subreddit, which is how I found out about it.”
FWIW, Vivian said she also found out about the more recent purported Ashley St. Clair baby news via Reddit, as well! (FYI, this is actually a claim that we’ve previously reported on, so Vivian’s assertion here would seem to hold water!)
But at least she’s got a sense of humor about it. She quipped:
“If I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels.”
LMFAO!
Looking at the bigger picture surrounding the baby brouhaha and its related Reddit rumblings, Vivian admitted something we’ve long since known: that she’s all the way out when it comes to Elon’s side of her fam! Referencing her 4-year-old half-brother X Æ A-Xii, commonly called “X,” she said:
“I don’t keep up with that side of the family because… I don’t. My mom doesn’t really either. She’s divorced, werk. So yeah. I don’t really give a f**k what they do. This is not my problem, okay? I’ve seen X once, when he was very little.”
And even though most of this Teen Vogue interview was dedicated to Donald Trump‘s newfound hanger-on, Vivian insisted that Elon actually doesn’t take up a lot of space in her brain on a daily basis:
“It really doesn’t. I mean, I’ll see things about him in the news and think, ‘that’s f**king cringe, I should probably post about this and denounce it,’ which I have done a few times.”
But that being said, she was also quick to rightly rake Elon over the coals. Take, for example, his Nazi salute from back in January. Vivian correctly called a spade a spade on that one:
“The Nazi salute s**t was insane. Honey, we’re going to call a fig a fig, and we’re going to call a Nazi salute what it was. That s**t was definitely a Nazi salute. The crowd is equally to blame, and I feel like people are not talking about that. That crowd should be denounced.”
Seriously!!
But beyond that, it sounds like she’s done AF with her problematic poppa:
“But other than that, I don’t give a f**k about him. I really don’t. It’s annoying that people associate me with him. I just don’t have any room to care anymore.”
Honestly, that’s fair. And she’s not scared of him — or how he may react to this interview — either. Even though Elon’s got nearly endless assets on hand as the richest man in the world, that doesn’t sway Vivian from speaking out:
“He’s a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah. I don’t give a f**k. Why should I be scared of this man? Because he’s rich? Oh, no, I’m trembling. Ooh, shivering in my boots here. I don’t give a f**k how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.”
Fierce! Then again, five years of estrangement will do that to ya. To that end, Vivian sounded relieved AF to be free from it all for about half a decade:
“I haven’t talked to him since 2020. That was almost half a decade ago at this point. Thank God.”
And to wrap things up, she reiterated her determination NOT to let Elon — or the fear that he could try to retaliate against her for being so vocal about him — get into her head. She said triumphantly:
“People thrive off of fear. I’m not giving anyone that space in my mind. The only thing that gets to live free in my mind are drag queens.”
Love that last line! Girl’s got spunk. You can’t hate that! Well, we can hate it about Elon, but that’s a different kind…
