Elon Musk’s estranged daughter has revealed the reaction she had when she heard her dad claim she was dead in an interview with Jordan Peterson last year.

One of Musk’s many children, Vivian Jenna Wilson, isn’t shy about criticising her father, though the 21-year-old has spoke at length how she has distanced herself from the billionaire tech mogul.

To this end, she said she ‘hasn’t talked to him since 2020’ and changed her name, stating she didn’t want to be ‘related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form,’ and stands financially independent from him.

The social media personality came out as a transgender woman in 2020, and earlier this year, she appeared in Teen Vogue where she spoke about her political activism which couldn’t be further from her dad, who is considered President Trump’s ‘First Buddy.’

Now, the youngster has revealed the Tesla CEO spoke about her while in a podcast with Jordan Peterson last year, where Musk not only deadnamed his daughter (referring to her birth name) but said she was actually ‘dead, killed by the woke mind virus’.

Retelling the moment she first heard the interview, she told content creator Matt Bernstein in a sit-down interview that Musk outright told Peterson his ‘son’ was ‘dead’.

“And Jordan Peterson was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry that your child is dead.’ And I was like, just over there in the corner of literally my small f***ing apartment in Tokyo, going to college, I was like, ‘Did this b**** just try to come for me?’ And I was like, ‘No,'” she said with a laugh while putting her hand out.

“I was literally like, ‘Hell f***ing no. I am not about to let this b*** come for me and have that just slide,” she added.

Vivian said she wasted no time in launching her response on Threads (a rival of Musk’s Twitter), which included posts like: “I look pretty good for a dead b****.”

She added: “It went mega coconuts viral.”

As to how the podcast landed on her radar, Vivian said she had just woken up when she had text messages from her aunt about the show and quickly told her mom, Justine Wilson, whom had six children with her ex-husband Musk.

“The first thing I do is text my mom and I’m like, ‘I can’t let this b**** get to me. I must retaliate. I’m going to go public. So sorry, you cannot tell me’.” Vivian said.

“And at that point she was kind of like, ‘Yeah I trust you, do what you need to do. Obviously just be careful and whatnot.'”

Vivian also said one close friend encouraged her to ‘eat him alive’, to which she said: “I will do my best.”

Her scathing criticism at the time also included calling the SpaceX founder ‘entirely fake’ and ‘desperate for attention and validation,’ concluding: “Go touch some f***ing grass.”

Prior to this, Vivian had kept a relatively low profile – but her public takedown catapulted her to social media stardom.

“I chose to respond,” she added. “And when I chose to respond, I knew what I was getting into.”

Elon Musk’s daughter has never been shy voicing her opinion about her father, but she certainly didn’t hold back after calling him a ‘pathetic man-child’ in a scathing new interview.

Vivian Wilson, who is one of his children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, has made it clear previously in the past that she and Musk certainly don’t see eye to eye.

In 2022, she filed a petition to change her name and gender, stating she didn’t want to be ‘related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form’, while Musk claimed to Jordan Peterson that Wilson, who is transgender, was ‘killed’ by a ‘woke mind virus’.

Since then, the 20-year-old has often responded to her father’s antics online, and in a new interview with Teen Vogue, she issued a pretty scathing response.

When the interviewer asked if Wilson ever felt ‘scared’ of her father due to his wealth and influence, she responded: “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***.

“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*** how much money anyone has. I don’t. I really don’t. He owns Twitter. Okay. Congratulations.

“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.”

Wilson was also asked about how much thoughts about her father take up her day, to which she said she doesn’t.

She replied: “No, it doesn’t. 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.”

One such instance was the ‘Nazi salute’ accusations that were levied against Musk following his appearance at a rally for Donald Trump’s inauguration into the White House – accusations that the Tesla CEO fought back against.

In reference to that, Wilson called it ‘insane’, adding: “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.”

As well as her father, Wilson also spoke about her relationship with her siblings, where she admitted that she wasn’t sure how many she actually had.

An author has claimed that Elon Musk is the father of her baby in a bombshell statement on X.

The 53-year-old Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder is a father of 12 already.

Now, a woman called Ashley St. Clair has claimed Musk welcomed his 13th child five months ago.

Posting on Twitter, the author announced: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.”

The 26-year-old, a conservative influencer, said she tried to conceal the announcement for the sake of the youngster.

She continued: “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”

St. Clair is known for her children’s book with BRAVE Books, titled Elephants Are Not Birds.

Meanwhile, Musk is also father to Nevada, Vivian, Griffin, Kai, Saxon, Damian, X Æ A-12, Exa, Strider, Azure, Techno and another youngster who was born in 2024.

The tech boss first became a dad in 2002 when his then wife, Justine Wilson, an author from Canada, gave birth to their son Nevada Alexander.

Tragically, Nevada died at just 10 weeks old from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

In a piece for Marie Claire, the mom said at the time: “Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing.

“By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead.”

After three days on life support, the family made the heartbreaking decision to take him off it.

The couple went on to welcome twins, Vivian and Griffin, 21, and triplets, Kai, Saxon and Damian, 18.

Fast forward almost two decades when Musk was dating singer, Grimes, and he became a dad again to X Æ A-12, age four.

The couple, who split for good in 2022, also had two more children, Exa Dark Sideræl, three, and a boy, Techno Mechanicus, two.

Weeks before Grimes gave birth to their daughter, the CEO also fathered two more children, twins, Strider and Azure, three, with Shivon Zilis in November 2021.

Zilis is an executive at Musk’s company, Neuralink, and the pair also welcomed another child in early 2024 whose name has not been revealed.

According to People, Grimes and Musk were looking for a home in Bel Air to raise all of his children and live with their mothers.

Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Musk also stated he had no plans to ‘automatically’ pass a share of his companies to his children ‘if they have no interest or inclination’ to take over his empire.

Elon Musk’s estranged daughter has revealed in a new interview just how she gets on with her other siblings, as well as her relationship with her billionaire father.

Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson hasn’t been shy about talking about her disdain for her father or his antics and rhetoric on a whole host of topics.

However, in a new interview with Teen Vogue, the 20-year-old – who is transgender – shared insight into her relationship with her many siblings.

The billionaire has a confirmed 12 children with three different women, however, author Ashley St. Clair has recently claimed she is the fourth baby mother to the tech boss and welcomed their child five months ago.

Speaking with Teen Vogue, the interviewer alluded to Wilson’s many siblings and remarked people with many brothers and sisters often learned to fight at young ages.

Wilson replied: “Well, I have four of them. I’m tied for oldest. But when we fought, it wasn’t really with words. There was a lot of… I have four siblings. We’re going to leave it at that, honey.”

When asked if she gets on with her siblings, she revealed she wasn’t even sure how many she had.

She said: “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. I found out about the Shivon Zilis thing the same time everyone else did. I had no idea before that.”

Shivon Zilis, an executive of Musk’s company Neuralink, announced in 2024 that Musk and her had welcomed their fourth child together.

“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.”

Wilson even joked during the interview that if she had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels. Saying she also heard about Zilis’ children on the social media platform.

Speaking about the family dynamic, Wilson simply 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.”
