Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, made the explosive claim that the billionaire selected her sex via in-vitro fertilization.
Wilson, who is transgender and was assigned male at birth, posted this week that her “sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for.”
“When I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender,” Wilson, who is estranged from her father, wrote on Threads on Sunday. “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,” Wilson continued. “A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION.”
The 20-year-old is one of six children the SpaceX founder shares with ex-wife, Justine Wilson. She has a twin, Griffin, and triplet brothers, all five of whom were conceived via IVF and assigned male at birth.
The divorced couple also had a son, Nevada Alexander, who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome when he was 10 weeks old.
In total, the Tesla founder has 14 known children, with two sons being revealed this year alone.
His most visible child, X--who frequently is seen in the White House-- was also conceived through IVF with musician Grimes. The billionaire and entertainer, however, also share a daughter and another son.
Musk also has four children with Neuralink executive, Shivon Zilis, two of whom are boys, and one son with MAGA influencer, Ashley St. Clair.
In her post Sunday, Wilson questioned why the U.S. allows parents to select sex via IVF, a practice that is illegal in a large number of countries, including Canada and parts of Europe. There is no law that blocks it in the U.S., however.
Forbes wrote of Musk in 2022, “It is no secret that the most prolific innovator on the planet, Elon Musk, took an engineering approach to reproduction, and his first five boys came into this world via IVF.”
Musk has reacted poorly to Wilson coming out as transgender, claiming last year that the “woke mind virus” killed Wilson, who was given the name Xavier at birth.
He wrote on X: “Xavier was born gay and slightly autistic, two attributes that contribute to gender dysphoria... But he was not a girl.”
Musk’s representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
