Elon Musk's daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson has shared her thoughts on Donald Trump's recent pledge to have his administration release government files on all things aliens and UFOs.
The president made the announcement on Truth Social, saying his decision was spurred on by 'the tremendous interest shown' shown by American citizens following former president Barack Obama's recent remarks declaring that aliens are real.
He did admit that he'd never seen any for himself, however.
Sharing his plans to disclose information on the apparent aliens that exist in our universe, Trump said: "Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

Following the announcement, Vivian, who is estranged form her multibillionaire father Musk, shared her thoughts on it all.
Taking to Threads, Vivian said: "Not to put my tinfoil hat on, but I think this alien bulls*it is a distraction from the Epstein Files."
People have since replied to her post and stated if they agree with Vivian or not.
"Oh I think it absolutely is, and if it isn’t, I for one welcome our new alien overlords as long as they’re not after kids or trying to eat us," one person said.
"Yeah, it has crossed my mind as well," another wrote in agreement with Vivian.
A third added: "It’s because Obama talked about aliens on a podcast over the weekend. Obama lives rent-free in Trump’s demented brain."
Responding to Vivian's remarks, a White House spokesperson said to UNILAD: "Just as President Trump has said, he’s been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein.
"And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him."
While the president's plans might seem to have come out of the blue, he's previously discussed releasing UFO-related files.
Speaking to Joe Rogan on his podcast in the run up to the 2024 election, Trump said while discussing files he planned on releasing if he won: "There's a lot of interest in the people coming from space. And I know you're interested in that.
"It's never been my thing. I have to be honest. I never have been a believer."
While he wasn't a believer, he did admit that conversations he'd had with pilots made him question things.
"I interviewed jet pilots that were solid people, perfect, great pilots, great everything," said Trump. "And they said, 'We saw things, sir, that were very strange. Like, a round ball but it wasn't a comet or a meteor'."
