Vivian Jenna Wilson, the transgender daughter of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has made a startling accusation against her father. In a candid statement shared on Threads, Wilson claimed that Musk used sex-selective IVF to ensure the birth of male children, treating her gender as a "commodity."

Wilson first gained attention in 2022 when she sought court approval in California to change her name and denounce her father. heirs led to a gendered approach to family planning, calling it a “monetary transaction” rather than a personal or emotional decision.

This revelation comes after Musk’s controversial comments in July 2024, where he claimed that he was “tricked” into allowing Wilson to undergo gender-affirming care at the age of 16.

Wilson strongly refuted his version of events, explaining that she would no longer remain silent about the lies told about her. “I think he was under the assumption I wouldn’t speak out, but I’m not going to let that slide,” Wilson stated.

The public disclosure has sparked a backlash from netizens, many of whom expressed their disapproval of the practice of sex-selective IVF. Some criticised Musk for reducing his children to commodities, while others praised Wilson for her bravery in addressing these deeply personal issues.
