Washington D.C: Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has reacted to recent claims that her father has welcomed a 13th child. Taking to Threads, Vivian humorously addressed the situation, saying, “If I had a nickel for every time that I found out I had a new half-sibling online, I’d have a few nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened SIX SEPARATE TIMES.” She added in another post, “I don’t know how many siblings I have’ goes really hard on 2 truths and a lie though I will admit.”
Vivian, born to Musk and his first wife Justine Wilson in 2004, distanced herself from her father in 2022 by legally changing her name and gender. She has publicly stated her desire to sever ties with Musk.
Ashley St. Clair’s Shocking Revelation
The controversy erupted after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) that Elon Musk is the father of her five-month-old child. In her post on February 14, she wrote: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.” St. Clair explained that she had kept the information private to protect her child’s safety but decided to go public after media outlets began investigating her personal life.
St. Clair revealed in interviews that Musk had asked her to keep the child a secret indefinitely and even requested his name not appear on the birth certificate. She described living in isolation during her pregnancy and expressed frustration over Musk’s lack of acknowledgment since the child’s birth.
Musk’s Minimal Response
Elon Musk has largely remained silent on the matter. His only public reaction was a brief comment “Whoa” in response to a post by far-right activist Milo Yiannopoulos accusing St. Clair of plotting to “ensnare” him. St. Clair’s representative confirmed that she had informed Musk’s team before going public but received no reply.
St. Clair emphasized that she does not seek financial support from Musk but wants him to publicly acknowledge his parental role for their child’s well-being.
A Complex Family Tree
If St. Clair’s claims are accurate, this would bring Elon Musk’s total number of children to 13 with four women:
- Justine Wilson (First Wife): Six childrenm twins Griffin and Vivian (born 2004) and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian (born 2006). Their first child tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in 2002.
- Grimes (Claire Boucher): Three children X Æ A-Xii (born 2020), Exa Dark Sideræl (born 2021), and Techno Mechanicus (born 2022).
- Shivon Zilis (Neuralink Executive): Twins Strider and Azure (born 2021) via IVF and another child born via surrogacy in 2024.
- Ashley St. Clair: Allegedly one child born in September 2024.
Musk is known for his advocacy of large families as part of his “pronatalist” beliefs.
Public Reaction and Media Frenzy
The revelation has sparked widespread debate online, with some comparing the situation to a “Game of Thrones-style battle” over inheritance and family dynamics. Social media users have humorously speculated about Musk’s ever-growing family tree while others criticized his alleged lack of accountability.
St. Clair has requested privacy for her child but remains firm in her decision to go public. She stated: “My son has never taken a walk outside in five months because I was terrified someone would see us.” Despite the controversy, she expressed pride in being a mother: “My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me.”
What Lies Ahead?
As speculation continues, questions remain about Elon Musk’s role in this unfolding saga. While St. Clair awaits acknowledgment from Musk, his estranged daughter Vivian’s remarks highlight ongoing tensions within his family.
This latest development adds another layer of complexity to Musk’s personal life as he balances global business ventures with an ever-expanding family dynamic under intense public scrutiny.
