Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk’s estranged trans daughter, has made a bold claim regarding her father’s use of IVF.

Elon Musk could be the biggest winner of a second Trump term

In a viral post, she claimed that Musk used the procedure to conceive only boys, causing controversy over his parenting choices and escalating their already strained relationship.

Did Elon Musk really use IVF for gender selection?

Vivian Wilson expressed resentment at being “bought and paid for” as a boy. Elon Musk, who has 13 children, remains estranged from Vivian and has publicly criticized gender ideology.

The Tesla founder fathered six children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, including 20-year-old Vivian.

The couple chose to use in vitro fertilization (IVF) to continue their family after their first child, Nevada, passed away from sudden infant death syndrome, as per a report.

Griffin and Xavier, twins, were born in 2004; Xavier is transgender and now goes by Vivian.

What did Vivian say about her upbringing?

In a Threads post on Sunday, Vivian attacked her parents for using in vitro fertilization (IVF) to have children, saying they paid to have a boy born.

“The gender I was assigned at birth was a commodity that could be purchased and paid for.” “Therefore, I was defying the advertised product when I was feminine as a child and later discovered that I was transgender,” Vivian asserted, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

“I had to fight against that expectation of masculinity my entire life because it was a financial transaction.”

IVF with gender selection is not only prohibited outside of the United States and Mexico, but it is also a controversial medical procedure that can cost thousands of dollars.

Elon Musk has 13 children with four women—Wilson, Claire Elise Boucher, also known as Grimes, Shivon Zilis, and Ashley St. Clair—many of whom were conceived through IVF, according to a Daily Mail report. However, it is unclear if Musk decided to use gender selection in IVF.

IVF was used to conceive X Æ A-Xii, one of Musk and Grimes’ most well-known children, and surrogacy was used to give birth to their daughter.

How has Elon Musk responded to her claims?

Musk and Vivian are no longer together, and he stated in a 2024 interview that he opposes gender ideology. He said that doctors had deceived him into signing paperwork that would have given his son “puberty blockers.”

“I basically lost my son.” He told Jordan Peterson, “My son is dead, killed by the woke mind virus,” and then he added, “So I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus after that.”

The 21-year-old frequently vents her frustrations with the Musk family, particularly her father Elon, on social media.

Last month, the estranged daughter said she learned about her new alleged half-sibling on Reddit rather than from family.

Vivian shared the bizarre experience on TikTok, pointing out a disturbing trend and mentioning that this isn’t the first time she’s come across information about a possible new Musk sibling online.

‘I’m Broken!’ Elon Musk’s Heart-Stopping Breakdown After Losing a Staggering $29 Billion in 24 Hours Sh0cks the Globe!

Elon Musk looked emotional after being asked about his other businesses in a recent interview with Fox Business following the biggest drop in Tesla stock since 2020.

He might be the richest man in the world, but if Elon Musk keeps losing money at the rate he is, it might not be that way for much longer. Although Forbes’ live billionaire list puts Musk at over $100 billion richer than Jeff Bezos in second place, his net worth has tumbled ever since President Donald Trump stepped into the White House.

While Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris saw the world’s richest get richer, it seems it was only a temporary boost for Mr. Musk.

By embedding himself in the White House and taking a new role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has become more divisive than ever. Crashing Tesla stocks have led to Musk being $116 billion poorer than his peak wealth, with concerns about what happens next.

Speaking to Fox Business in the aftermath of losing $18 billion in a single day, a visibly deflated Musk got candid about his current financial situation.

When asked about how he’s running his other business, Musk is lost for words and says: “With great difficulty.”

Fox’s Larry Kudlow asks whether there’s any turning back now, with Musk adding: “I’m just here trying to make the government more efficient, eliminate waste and fraud. So far, we’re making good progress.”

The mention of his other business ventures losing more money than usual has clearly struck a chord with Musk, but for now, there’s no sign of him stepping back from the DOGE.

According to Business Insider, the financials could be even worse. The site points to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index and claims Musk’s net worth dipped to $301 billion on Monday evening (March 10). Considering he was worth $330 billion on March 9, it’s a jaw-dropping $29 billion in a single day – marking a 6.7% total drop.

It was apparently triggered by Tesla’s stock dropping by 15% on March 10, giving it the biggest single-day drop since September 2020.

Looking at the bigger picture, Tesla stock is down 55% from its December 2024 peak, while Musk’s net worth is down by $132 billion (30%) in 2025.

We’ve seen Tesla cars and facilities attacked by angry people, while some Tesla owners have even taken to defacing their own vehicles.

There wasn’t much sympathy for Musk’s latest loss, with one person responding to the clip of him, writing: “‘All his businesses?’ Nah! He’s just throwing one business—that’s publicly traded—under the bus! The rest of his businesses remain insulated and are still flourishing—being granted billions of dollars in government contracts.”

Another joked: “He did Nazi that coming.”

Someone else concluded: “A rare moment of reality as he begins to suspect that most people actually hate him. It won’t last though, it never does. The delusions will be back in full swing soon enough.”

For now, Musk is continuing his endeavours to trim the fat from federal spending as the POTUS’ very own ‘First Buddy’.
