Elon Musk’s transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, has once again criticized the billionaire, alleging that he always wanted a son when she was conceived.
Musk has previously acknowledged his strained relationship with Vivian, and she has not hesitated to take public jabs at him in return.
In her latest remarks, Wilson claimed that the tech mogul specifically paid for IVF treatment to guarantee the birth of a male child.
Posting on Threads over the weekend, she expressed her frustration with her father, accusing him of going to great lengths to ensure he had sons.
In her post, Vivian Wilson wrote: “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 is a father to at least 13 children, had his first five through IVF. While all were assigned male at birth, it’s uncertain whether he specifically used IVF to select their sex.
Similarly, how Vivian came to believe this about her own conception remains unclear.
Regardless, her followers flooded the comments with messages of support.
One person wrote: “So you’re saying he chose a male embryo and then felt he didn’t get what he paid for? His loss, the world’s gain. You’re incredible. Your biological father doesn’t deserve you.”
Another supporter wrote: “Hugs, Viv. I’m so sorry—no one should have to go through this. Sending you big Mama Bear hugs and love.”
A third chimed in: “Wait, he actually paid to ensure you had XY chromosomes, and you still turned out to be a girl? He really does make terrible business decisions, lol.”
Someone else simply shared: “I’m so happy you’ve found yourself—it’s truly inspiring to follow your courageous journey.”

For some followers, Vivian’s allegations provided additional context to the ongoing rift between her and Musk over her coming out as transgender.
In July of last year, Musk spoke with clinical psychologist and conservative commentator Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, claiming he had been “tricked” into allowing Wilson to receive transgender-related medical care at the age of 16.
However, Wilson quickly refuted this claim, issuing a statement of her own and calling it a lie.
Speaking in a phone interview, she stated: “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 blatantly lie about me to an audience of millions, I’m not just going to let that go.”
