Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, dropped bombshell claims accusing her father of treating her gender like a business transaction.

The 20-year-old, who has been publicly estranged from the tech mogul for years, accused him of paying for her assigned s*x at birth to be male.

Vivian and her twin Griffin were born to Elon while he was married to ex-wife and Canadian author Justine Wilson.

    The Tesla founder claimed in the past that he was “tricked” into giving his approval for Vivian’s trans-related medical treatments back when she was 16 years old.

    Vivian has often been vocal about her relationship with her father, and recently claimed he paid money to ensure she was assigned male at birth.

    “My assigned s*x at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for,” she wrote on Threads this week.

    She went on to suggest that being transgender went “against” what the tech billionaire paid for.

    “So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold,” she said.

    “That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction,” Vivian continued. “A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION.”

    She then questioned how this could be legal.

    Her supporters criticized Elon, saying “He is a very very disturbed person.”

    “So creepy,” one commenter said, while another wrote, “Children aren’t a commodity.”

    Vivian legally changed her name and gender at the Santa Monica courthouse in California on June 22, 2022.

    She chose to adopt her mother’s last name, saying she did not want any association with her biological father, according to a petition she filed on April 18, 2022, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

    “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” she wrote in the petition.

    Elon, who has fathered roughly a dozen children, spoke about Vivian last year and claimed he was “tricked into signing documents” to administer puberty blockers to his transgender daughter.

    The tech entrepreneur claimed “gender-affirming care” is a “terrible euphemism” and described puberty blockers as “sterilization drugs.”

    Elon previously claimed he was “tricked” into authorizing gender-affirming care for Vivian

    I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason,” he said in a provocative interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson.

    “The reason it’s called deadnaming is because your son is dead … killed by the woke mind virus,” he added.

    Soon after the July interview, Vivian clapped back and said her father was lying.

    “If you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide,” she said.

    The young woman revealed at the time that her father has never been supportive of her, and he would let her mother or their nannies take care of her and her siblings.

    Describing her father as “uncaring and narcissistic,” she said Elon was “cold” and “very quick to anger,” as quoted by NBC News.

    She claimed he would berate her for her femininity and ask her to talk with a deeper voice when she was a child.

    On one occasion, “he was constantly yelling at me viciously because my voice was too high,” she recalled. “It was cruel.”

    The SpaceX CEO has welcomed at least 14 children over the years. He and his first wife Justine lost their first child, son Nevada Alexander, at 10 weeks old.

    His next five children with Justine—twins Vivian Jenna Wilson and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian—were all born via IVF and were assigned male at birth.

    He and singer Grimes welcomed three children together, X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Techno Mechanicus.

    He went on to welcome twins Strider and Azure with Shivon Zilis, an employee at his company Neuralink. They welcomed their third child Arcadia in 2024.

    Shivon announced on X last month that they welcomed their fourth son Seldon Lycurgus.

    Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair made a public announcement last month, saying she gave birth to Elon’s child last year.

    Estranged Vivian joked last month about finding out about her half-siblings’ existence from the internet.

    “If I had a nickel for every time that I found out I had a new half-sibling online, I’d have a few nickels,” she posted on Threads in February.

    That “isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened SIX SEPARATE TIMES,” she added.

    I don’t mind gender selection for family balancing. A couple has 2 boys and they want the third to be a girl. Find. But I find it bizarre when you have 14 chances and you pick almost all boys. The only girl I know of is X’s sister, Y.

    Yes, Musk only wants boys. No girls. Vivian looks quite pretty. Musk keeps whining about population collapse but not all of us can be "parents" that use IVF with multiple women and then don't do any of the parenting. Sure, he seems to be walking around with a kid around his shoulders but I think that's just for show.

    This claim would only make sense if she were genitally ambiguous at birth, as in intersex. Otherwise assigned gender is obvious and not up for discussion. Is that what she is saying?

    No. Gender selection is a good thing. If you’ve been trying really hard for a boy or a girl it’s one way of increasing your odds of getting that. Of course you may end up with a child who’s trans. But you’re much more likely to get the s*x of the baby you want with selective IVF. People want different sexes for different reasons. Some want boys. Some want girls.

    I’m not defending this waste of oxygen…but selecting gender with IVF is not a new or even uncommon thing. It’s not even considered unethical. People have had IVF children with specific genetic modifications so they can be live donors for chronically ill siblings! They’re often forced to undergo painful medical procedures without their consent.

I am so sorry that his son has gender dysphoria or the like, but despite hormones and surgery, he will always be a he.
