Vivian Jenna Wilson, the 21-year-old transgender daughter of billionaire Elon Musk, discovered through social media that she might have another half-sibling. Wilson shared this surprising news on TikTok on February 15, revealing she learned about it via a Reddit post.
The post in question was made by conservative author Ashley St. Clair, who claimed she gave birth to Musk's 13th child five months earlier. St. Clair, known for her controversial book "Elephants Are Not Birds," stated she kept the father's identity secret to ensure the privacy and safety of the child. Elon Musk has not yet commented on these claims.
Wilson, in her TikTok video, expressed her astonishment with humor, saying, "Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?"
In another TikTok post, she recounted a previous incident from 2022, where she similarly found out about her half-brother, Tau Techno Mechanicus Musk, through a subreddit dedicated to "RuPaul's Drag Race." She was scrolling through the subreddit when she came across a tweet by drag queen Tatianna, who humorously commented on Grimes, Tau's mother, having another child.
"I had no idea of this at the time because no one thought to let me know," Wilson explained, describing her disbelief and the subsequent confirmation of the news through media outlets. Tatianna later apologized for inadvertently breaking the news to Wilson in such a public manner, saying, "OMG I’M SO SORRY LMAOOO."
These social media revelations highlight the unconventional ways in which family dynamics can unfold in the public eye, especially for those connected to high-profile figures like Elon Musk.
