Elon Musk’s daughter has shared a peculiar story about how she discovered she might have a new half-brother.
Recently, Ashley St. Clair claimed on Twitter that the 53-year-old Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder had welcomed another child into the world.
Musk, who is already a father to 12 children, has an estranged transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson. She shared her unusual discovery of a potential new sibling.
Vivian, 21, took to TikTok to recount her experience, mentioning that it wasn’t the first time she learned about a new Musk sibling in such a way.
She used a popular sound clip from the TV show, Phineas and Ferb, for her TikTok post, captioning it: “Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had a half-sibling through Reddit, I’d have two nickels.. which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”
The video quickly gained traction, amassing over 580,000 views at the time of writing.
Vivian humorously added that she is unsure about the exact number of siblings she has, which makes for an interesting ‘two truths and a lie’ game.
Her followers responded with their own family tales, with one sharing they found out about a brother on Facebook.
Someone else commented: “My dad was the same. I was an only child… until he passed and nope I had 15 siblings or so.”
Another joked: “You are having a disproportionate number of character-building experiences.”
One more user added: “Your dad needs to be spayed.”
Vivian was born to Musk and his first wife, Justin Wilson, in 2004.
In April 2022, she filed to legally change her gender from male to female, adopting her mother’s maiden name. She stated: “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
The news comes amidst Musk’s large family that includes twins, Vivian and Griffin, and triplets, Kai, Saxon, and Damian from his marriage to Wilson, which ended in 2008.

Musk expanded his family with singer Grimes, with whom he has three children: X Æ A-Xii (known as ‘X’), Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.
He also has twins, Strider and Azure, with Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive, and another unnamed son born last summer.
The addition of a new baby with St. Clair will bring Musk’s total number of children to 13.
On Twitter, the 26-year-old author, St. Clair, wrote: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father.”
“I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.
“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”
