Elon Musk’s transgender daughter has hit out at the billionaire, insisting he really wanted a son when she was conceived.
Elon Musk has made it clear that he isn’t on best terms with his transgender daughter Vivian Wilson in the past, and Vivian has repeatedly taken shots back at her father in return.
Wilson has now taken her latest dig at Musk, claiming that the tech mogul paid for IVF treatment in order to ensure that she was born male.
Writing on Threads over the weekend, Musk’s daughter took serious issue with her father and the supposed lengths he has gone to to ensure he has sons.

In a post, she said: “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.
“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 a total of at least 13 children, welcomed his first five kids into the world via IVF. All five children were assigned male at birth, however it is not clear whether Musk used IVF in order to choose their sex.
It is also not clear how Vivian came to the conclusion this was the case with her own conception.
Regardless, Vivian’s followers took to the comment’s section to offer up their support.
One user 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 said: “Hugs Viv️. I’m so sorry - no one deserves this treatment. Sending you big Mama Bear hugs & love.”
A third added: “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.”
With another simply commenting: “Im so happy you found you and it’s a joy to follow your brave journey.”
For some followers, Vivan's allegations added context to the spat the pair had over Vivian coming out as transgender.
In July last year, Musk sat down with clinical psychologist and conservative commentator Dr Jordan B Peterson and claimed he'd been 'tricked' into allowing Wilson to undergo transgender-related medical care when she was 16.
However, Wilson came out with a statement of her own and insisted this was lie.
Speaking in a phone interview Wilson said: “I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go unchallenged.
“Which I’m not going to do, because if you’re going to lie about me, like, blatantly to an audience of millions, I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
UNILAD has contacted Elon Musk’s representatives for comment.
