Elon Musk’s estranged daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, has accused the billionaire of deliberately ensuring she was born male by selecting the embryo’s sex through in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

In a heated social media post, Wilson expressed her frustrations with Musk and his alleged expectations of masculinity, saying, “My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold.”
Wilson, who legally changed her name and gender in 2022 to sever ties with her father, took to Threads over the weekend to make her claims public.
She accused Musk of going to great lengths to ensure he had sons, stating, “That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction. A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION.”
Musk, who has fathered at least 13 children, welcomed his first five kids through IVF, all of whom were assigned male at birth.
However, it remains unclear whether he specifically chose the sex of the embryos, and there is no direct evidence supporting Wilson’s claim that Musk was involved in sex selection for her birth
Public Reaction
Wilson’s post quickly gained traction, with many social media users voicing their support. One person commented, “You’re saying that he sex-selected your embryo to be male and then felt he didn’t get what he paid for? His loss, the world’s win. You’re a gem. Your bio dad doesn’t deserve you.”
Another wrote, “Wait he PAID for you to specifically have XY chromosomes and you still ended up a girl? He makes so many bad business decisions lmao.”
Others sent messages of solidarity, with one person stating, “Im so happy you found you and it’s a joy to follow your brave journey.”
