Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Wilson, recently opened up in an interview with Teen Vogue about her complex relationship with her extended family. She candidly discussed her uncertainty regarding the number of her siblings, hinting at the ever-expanding nature of Musk’s family tree. Despite being one of Musk’s 14 children from four different women, Vivian only acknowledges four siblings—referring specifically to those she shares with her mother, Justine Wilson. She humorously admitted the difficulty of keeping track of her burgeoning half-siblings, a fact she jokingly considers perfect for “two truths and a lie.”
Vivian touched on her disconnected relationship with some family members, revealing that her awareness of Musk’s other children often comes through public sources. Notably, she learned about singer Grimes’ additional children with Musk via a Reddit post from a drag queen. The distance from her father’s side is a conscious choice, a sentiment echoed by her mother, Justine, following their divorce.
While Vivian maintains limited contact with her father’s extended family, her story highlights the complexities of modern family dynamics and the personal boundaries she chooses to uphold. Her narrative offers a glimpse into the life of someone linked to one of the world’s most prominent figures, emphasizing her independence and desire to focus on her own path.
