Wilson, 20 – who legally changed her name and gender in 2022 – is one of the billionaire’s children from his first marriage to Justine Wilson.
At the time of her transition, she made her stance crystal clear, stating she didn’t want to be “related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form”.
Still, Musk has repeatedly referenced his estranged daughter on social media, most recently in response to a post on X (formerly Twitter) defending him against Wilson’s remarks in a Teen Vogue interview.
In the interview, she addressed Musk being accused of giving a Nazi salute at a Trump rally, calling the news coverage “insane”.

“I’ll see things about [Musk] in the news,” she told Teen Vogue, “and I think it’s f**king cringe. I should probably post about this and denounce it.”
A user later responded to a headline that read: “Elon Musk’s daughter says father’s rally gesture was ‘definitely a Nazi salute’,” questioning whether Musk had ever killed anyone and arguing that “just because Wilson says something, that doesn’t necessarily make it true.”
Musk replied: “Exactly,” before deadnaming Wilson and repeating his earlier claim that she had been “killed by the woke mind virus”.
Initially, Wilson took to Threads to describe Musk’s comment as “gross” and wrote she’d “deal with this nonsense in a bit.”
And deal with it she did.
On TikTok, she posted a screenshot of Musk’s tweet followed by a clip of herself lip-syncing to a song with the lyrics: “I look pretty good for a dead b***h.” The caption? “And you don’t.”

The internet responded with a flood of support. One TikTok user wrote: “SHES AN ICON AND IM TOTALLY HERR FOR IT.”
Another commented: “You’re a legend,” and a third simply said: “Vivian you are so cool.”
But this isn’t the only headline-grabbing statement from Wilson.
She recently posted on Threads accusing Musk of deliberately selecting her embryo’s sex through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to ensure she was born male.
“My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for,” she wrote. “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 went on to claim: “That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction. A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION.”
While it’s true that Musk had his first five children through IVF—all of whom were assigned male at birth—there’s no direct evidence confirming he specifically chose the embryos’ sex. Nonetheless, Wilson’s allegations triggered waves of public reaction.
One user commented: “You’re saying that he sex-selected your embryo to be male and then felt he didn’t get what he paid for? His loss, the world’s win. You’re a gem. Your bio dad doesn’t deserve you.”
