Elon Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson hasn’t shied away from expressing her disdain for her father.

“I don’t give a f— about him,” she told Teen Vogue in March 2025. “I really don’t. It’s annoying that people associate me with him. I just don’t have any room to care anymore.”

The self-dubbed “Queen of Threads” was born on April 15, 2004, to Elon and his then-wife, Canadian author Justine Musk, along with her twin brother, Griffin. Their birth followed the death of the then-couple’s first child, Nevada Alexander, who died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks old in 2002.

Vivian also has three brothers, triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, in addition to half-siblings from Elon’s other relationships. She joked with Teen Vogue that her “fun fact” is that she doesn’t actually know how many siblings she has. The Tesla CEO has 14 kids with four women.

Vivian has been estranged from her father since 2020. After she turned 18, she petitioned to legally change her name because she no longer wished “to be related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form.”

Here’s everything to know about Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson.

She was born in Los Angeles

Vivian and her twin brother, Griffin, were born on April 15, 2004, to Elon and Justine. The former couple raised Vivian in Los Angeles, where she noticed the large gap between her family’s “extravagant wealth” and the city’s large population of people without housing.

“You start to wonder, How is this fair?” she told Teen Vogue in March 2025. “You have to inevitably come to the conclusion it’s not. There is no world in which people should be owning multiple private planes, private islands, private whatever, while other people are sleeping on the street.”

She came out as transgender in 2020

Vivian told Teen Vogue that she came out in 2020 by making a post on her Instagram Stories. She said she regrets not telling her mom first but said that Justine had been “very supportive” of her transition — and even inspired her name.

“She is a published writer of supernatural romance fiction, which is where I get all my Vivian-isms, of being cringe and chronically online,” Vivian told the outlet. “When I came out to her … she pretended to be slightly surprised for 30 seconds and then was like, ‘Yeah, honey. Okay.’ ”

Elon has publicly criticized her

Elon has not been as supportive of Vivian’s transition as Justine. In a 2024 interview with Jordan Peterson, he claimed that he was “tricked” into allowing her to undergo gender-affirming care when she was 16.

Vivian refuted her father’s claims in a series of posts on Threads and told NBC News that he was aware of the “full side effects” of the treatment she was getting.

On Threads, she wrote that he “completely made up” any accounts of how she acted as a child “because he quite simply wasn’t there.”

She said she hasn’t talked to her dad since 2020

Vivian told Teen Vogue that she hasn’t talked to — and has been financially independent from — her father since she came out in 2020.

After Elon’s comments in the 2024 Peterson interview and how she was portrayed in Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography of the CEO, she said that standing up for herself online was “the most cathartic moment” of her entire life.

“I had all this pent-up energy, I had wanted to speak out for so long after being [essentially] defamed in a book, after being doxxed,” Vivian said. “Everything that had gone on — especially in my childhood — when that finally happened, it was the most cathartic experience I have ever had. And then I was like, Okay, whatever.”

She wants to become a translator

Vivian left the United States and moved abroad to study French, Spanish and Japanese languages in hopes of becoming a translator. As of 2025, she’s residing in Tokyo.

She told Teen Vogue that her newfound online presence has her questioning other career paths like modeling, Twitch streaming or her “absolute dream job” of being on a reality show.

“I haven’t made any money from being famous at all. I have made zero dollars and zero cents. I do live in a lot of people’s heads rent-free, though,” Vivian said. “It is my absolute dream to be on a reality show, which I know is absolutely pathetic. As an overdramatic little queer, reality shows are something I adore beyond belief.”
