Elon Musk Confirms He Only Got Into Politics Because Daughter Vivian Is Transgender

Elon Musk confirmed that he only got involved in politics because his daughter Vivian Wilson is a transgender woman.

On Sunday, May 31, the X owner responded to a tweet showcasing Wilson’s latest modeling campaign and making light of her unintentional influence over her father’s shift to right-wing politics. (Vivian is one of Musk’s 14 children. The tech billionaire shares Vivian with his ex-wife Justine Musk.)

“We should never forget that if not for Vivian, Elon Musk never would have gotten involved, never would have purchased Twitter, Kamala Harris would be President and the Left-wing would have total instrumental control over the construction of Skynet,” an X user wrote.

Elon replied, “True.”

Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, stole the show during 2025 New York Fashion Week. Wilson, 21, walked in Alexis Bittar’s Spring/Summer 2026 presentation on Friday, September 12, dressed in a sequined red gown with a “Miss South Carolina” sash while carrying a gold clutch that matched a pair of drop earrings.

The South African native has become increasingly involved in conservative U.S. politics in recent years. He campaigned for President Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election campaign in 2024 and has frequently criticized transgender rights.

Trump, 79, appointed Elon to oversee the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) at the start of his second term but he ultimately quit after just 130 days on the job due to disagreements over the White House’s budget.

Meanwhile, Wilson, 22, previously confirmed that she has been estranged from Elon since 2020. In April, Wilson told Cosmopolitan that she no longer concerns herself with her familial connection to Elon.

“There’s not much I can do about it, so who cares?” Wilson argued. “It’s part of my story, but it’s not the future of my story.”

The model and influencer described her upbringing with Elon as a “very strange experience [and] very isolating.”

“The upper class have their own private schools, social circles and whatever. I have unlearned a huge amount, but even as a child, I was like, ‘This is a bit gauche,’” she recalled. “I remember being very young and seeing homelessness and feeling sick to my stomach. People would get on me for being like a dramatic little child. But no, I was right to be a dramatic little s*** about that.”

Wilson shared in September 2025 that she was “financially independent” after starting a modeling career.

“People assume I have a lot of money. I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal,” she told The Cut. “My mom is rich, right? But, obviously, the other one is unimaginable degrees of wealthy.”

Wilson added, “I don’t have a desire to be super-rich. I can afford food. I have friends, a shelter and some expendable income, which is nice and much more fortunate than most people my age in Los Angeles.”

Win McNamee/Getty Images Elon Musk is known for being a billionaire businessman who started PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX — but his life as a father has also made headlines. “He hasn’t been a good dad,” Musk’s father, Errol, claimed in a February 2025 appearance on the “Wide Awake” podcast when asked about the tech guru.

When news broke in February 2025 that Elon welcomed two sons with two different mothers within months of each other, Wilson confirmed that she found out through a Reddit post. (Elon welcomed son Romulus with author Ashley St. Clair in September 2024 and son Seldon Lycurgus with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis in February 2025.)

“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’s happened twice, right,” she joked via TikTok.
