Vivian Jenna Wilson is the daughter of Elon Musk. She revealed that through Reddit she discovered Ashley St. Clair’s speculations about the possibility of a child being born to her father. The revelation highlights the dynamics of the Musk household and how information spreads online.
Why it Matters
Ashley St. Clair is a conservative writer and influencer who made an announcement via X (formerly Twitter) claiming that Elon Musk was allegedly the dad of her 5-month-old child. Elon Musk is yet to publicly address these allegations, which adds intrigue and speculation.

The caption read: “Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels… which isn’t alot but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”
In a separate post on Threads, a social media rival to X, she remarked: “If I had a nickel for every time that I found out I had a new half-sibling online, I’d have a few nickels—which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened SIX SEPARATE TIMES.”

The People Say
Brian Glicklich is St. Clair’s media advisor. He released a press release on X saying that Ashley and Elon had been working privately for some time to create an agreement regarding raising their child. This is disappointing because a reporter from a tabloid repeatedly confronted Ashley and her entire family. It made it impossible for the process to be completed in obscurity.
Elon has promised to complete the agreement as soon as possible, in order to protect the safety and well-being of their child.
Shivon Zilis shared on Saturday a photo of her twins with Musk in November 2021, with the caption “Lil love of my life”, accompanied with heart emojis. Musk replied with a face and hearts emoji.
