Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson—one of as many as 14 children he’s welcomed—revealed she doesn’t actually know how many half siblings she has.
To keep things efficient, Vivian Jenna Wilson doesn’t bother to count.
The daughter of Elon Musk—who has been publicly outspoken against her father—recently shared that when it comes to the many half siblings she has, she’s not sure of the exact number.
“I will say I do not actually know how many siblings I have, if you include half-siblings,” she told Teen Vogue in an interview published March 20. “That’s just a fun fact. It’s really good for two truths and a lie.”
After all, Vivian is one of as many as 14 children Elon has welcomed over the years: the billionaire shares six kids, including Vivian, as well as a child who passed away as a baby, with ex-wife Justine Wilson, four with Shivon Zilis, three with Grimes and one with Ashley St. Clair—though Elon has not yet acknowledged their alleged child.
On the recent arrival of another of Elon’s children, Vivian added, “I found out about the Shivon Zilis thing the same time everyone else did. I had no idea before that.”
The 20-year-old noted she also learned about Grimes’ second child with Elon via social media.
“For a time, me and Grimes were not really in communication because I wasn’t in communication with anyone in that family,” she explained. “Which still holds true.”
She added, “I don’t keep up with that side of the family because… I don’t. My mom doesn’t really either. I don’t really give a f–k what they do. This is not my problem.”
Vivian has not shied away from detailing her fraught relationship with her father, which she said began to deteriorate further after she sought gender-affirming care.
Yet, despite the prevalence with which the head of the Department of Government Efficiency is dominating coverage of the political and social landscapes, Vivian says most of the time, Elon isn’t on her mind.
“I’ll see things about him in the news and think, ‘That’s f–king cringe, I should probably post about this and denounce it,’ which I have done a few times,” she explained. “But other than that, I don’t give a f–k about him. I really don’t. It’s annoying that people associate me with him. I just don’t have any room to care anymore.”

Maye Musk (Mom)
Maye was born in Saskatchewan, Canada and emigrated with her parents to Pretoria, South Africa in 1950, when she was 7. She and Elon’s father, Errol Musk, split in 1979.
After Elon moved to Canada at age 17, Maye obtained Canadian citizenship by birthright and moved there too. There, she established a dietician practice and became President of the Consulting Dieticians of Canada. She also worked as a model.
In 2019, after Elon sold his company Zip2 for more than $300 million, he bought his mom an apartment in New York City, where she lived for 13 years and continued her modeling career after being signed to the IMG Models agency.
“I brought my children up like my parents brought us up when we were young: to be independent, kind, honest, considerate and polite,” Maye wrote in an essay for CNBC. “I taught them the importance of working hard and doing good things.”

Elon’s father is an engineer and like Elon, was born in South Africa.
Though Errol said in a 2015 Forbes interview that he used to often take his kids on trips overseas—”Their mother and I split up when they were quite young and the kids stayed with me. I took them all over the world.”—his relationship with Elon isn’t picture perfect.
In an emotional 2017 Rolling Stone interview, Elon criticized his father and talked about his upbringing, saying that after his parents split, he moved in with his dad, which, he said, “was not a good idea.”
However, Errol told Rolling Stone, “I love my children and would readily do whatever for them.”
Following his divorce from Maye, Errol married Heide, whose daughter Jana Bezuidenhout was 4 years old at the time. Errol and Heide went on to have two daughters together before they, too, broke up.
Years later, Jana reached out to Errol following a breakup of her own. “We were lonely, lost people,” Errol explained in a 2018 interview with The Sunday Times. “One thing led to another—you can call it God’s plan or nature’s plan.”
Either way, the duo became romantic and welcomed son Elliott in 2017 and then a baby girl in 2019. As Errol put it to The Sun, “The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce. If I could have another child I would. I can’t see any reason not to.”
Kimbal Musk & Tosca Musk (Siblings)
Kimbal, born in 1972, is a restauranteur and the founder of The Kitchen, a collective of five restaurants that source directly from local farmers. He also runs a non-profit, Big-Green, that has built 200 learning gardens in schools across the U.S., the outlet said.
Tosca, born in 1974, is a filmmaker. In 2017, she founded Passionflix, a female-focused streaming service that targets the billion-dollar romance novel industry.
