Elon Musk's Daughter Reveals ‘Wild' Way She Found Out That 1 Of Her Half-Siblings Exists
Vivian Wilson is shedding light on Elon Musk's questionable parenting skills — yet again.
Earlier this week, Wilson, Musk's estranged daughter, decided to share an alarming, albeit slightly vague, post on Threads about her half-siblings.
'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,' Wilson wrote.
She then followed that revelation up with a joke:
''I don't know how many siblings I have' goes really hard on 2 truths and a lie though I will admit.'
Musk has 13 children with four different women.
Wilson is one of five surviving children Musk had with his first wife, Justine Wilson (their sixth, Nevada, died at 10 weeks old). The Tesla CEO also had three with his former partner Grimes, three with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. Conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has also claimed Musk fathered her child.
After Wilson posted about only finding out she has new siblings from the internet — rather than her own father — her followers begged her to elaborate, and Wilson was happy to oblige.
'I will do a whole storytime about this because like it's WILD,' Wilson wrote on Meta before posting a link to a TikTok.
In the TikTok, Wilson explains how she found out about Musk and Grimes' third child, a boy named Techno Mechanicus, who also was born in June 2022.
'Story time: I found out about the existence of my half-brother through reddit.com/r/rupaulsdragrace,' she began. 'This is a real thing that actually happened to me, and if it sounds insane, it is.'
She continued, 'I'm going to paint you a scene. The year is 2022, and at the time, me and Grimes — or as I know her, C — are not talking. We're not on bad terms. We're just not talking, as people do.'
Vivian went on to explain that she was on the 'RuPaul Drag Race' subreddit when she discovered the news that she has a baby brother.
'The specific day of, I didn't really have anything to do, so I was just scrolling on Reddit, and I'm a huge fan of 'Drag Race,' so naturally, I was on the 'Drag Race' subreddit. And what do I come across but none other than a tweet from Season 2 and 'All Stars' [Season] 2 contestant, Tatianna,' she said.
'I found this tweet that was crossposted onto the subreddit, and I had no idea of this at the time, because no one thought to let me know. So at the moment, I'm just in complete shock, and I don't believe it, so I double-check it on the news, and it turns out it's actually fucking true, and I'm just the last one to find out about it. This is a real thing that happened to me, girl!'
Vivian clarified, 'This isn't to drag on C or anything. It kind of makes sense how this happened because, again, we were not really talking at the time, but I just think it's funny because... choices.'
In the comments of her TikTok, Wilson told her followers to not bully the 'Oblivion' singer, Grimes, whose legal name is Claire Elise Boucher.
'Y'all, please don't go send hate to Grimes- she's been through enough,' Wilson wrote.
For what it's worth, Grimes and Wilson do seem to have a pretty decent relationship. In June 2024, Musk said in an interview that Wilson was 'dead' to him because she transitioned. In response to her father's remarks, Wilson responded by pointing out that she's essentially always been dead to Musk because he has been an absentee dad her entire life.
Grimes seemed to like Wilson's response to Musk, and soon after posted a tweet to X, formerly Twitter, that read:
'I love and am forever endlessly proud of Vivian.'

Fact Check: Debunking claims Travis Kelce bought tiny diner from college days to feed homeless people
Claim: Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce bought a tiny diner that let him eat on credit during his college days, converting the eatery to feed 120 homeless people every day. Rating: A rumor that circulated online in June 2025 claimed Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, also known for dating 14-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift, bought a tiny diner that let him eat on credit during his college days. According to the story, Kelce turned the diner into an establishment that feeds 120 homeless people every day. For example, on June 11, a Threads user posted (archived) in part, "Travis Kelce bought the tiny diner that let him eat on credit in college — but what he turned it into now feeds 120 homeless people every day." (@robert_dimiceli32506595/Threads) Facebook users also shared this rumor, including some with the following caption: Travis Kelce bought the tiny diner that let him eat on credit in college — but what he turned it into now feeds 120 homeless people every day… Back in college, Travis used to eat at Elena's diner — a kind Mexican woman who let him run a tab for two years. Fifteen years later, he tracked her down, found out she was closing the diner, and quietly bought it. But instead of reopening for business, he asked Elena to cook again — this time, serving free lunch to 120 people on the streets nearby… Those Facebook posts featured links in top comments to articles hosted by WordPress blogs, such as one advertisement-filled story hosted on the website. The article identified the supposed former diner as Elena's Diner in Kansas City, Missouri, and the newer Kelce establishment as Elena's Kitchen. However, searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo found no news media outlets reporting any news of Kelce purchasing a diner or organizing daily meals for homeless people. Entertainment and sports blogs would have widely reported this rumor — if true — due to his prominent NFL status and relationship with Swift. Also, searches produced no results for any establishments in Kansas City with the names Elena's Diner or Elena's Kitchen. Rather, this rumor about Kelce simply existed as the latest inspirational story fabricated by users to earn advertising revenue on websites linked from the aforementioned Facebook posts. The story about Kelce resembled glurge, which defines as "stories, often sent by email, that are supposed to be true and uplifting, but which are often fabricated and sentimental." The AI image detector Sightengine found that a user managing AI software likely produced the photos of Kelce serving food to homeless people with a 99.9% likelihood. Both pictures showed clear signs of AI fakery, such as Kelce's eyes displaying odd discrepancies. The man Kelce served food to in the top photo had a very strangely-generated hand. A partial bowl, which made no sense, sat on top of the plate Kelce handed the same man. Further, in both photos, none of the food appeared identifiable. While the aforementioned lookups of search engines found no credible trace of this story, those searches did locate another made-up story claiming Kelce helped a diner from his teenage years, as opposed to during college. The headline of the similar fabricated story, also hosted on read, "Travis Kelce donated $50,000 to the diner that once fed him as a hungry teen — and the way he returned brought the owner to tears." For further reading, another Snopes fact check examined a rumor claiming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reconnected with and organized a fundraiser for her old high school's elderly janitor.

Personal touches, secret messages: Behind the scenes of making Caitlin Clark's new Wilson basketballs
If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change. INDIANAPOLIS – Caitlin Clark's favorite color is blue. Outside of the gym, she's happiest being on the water or a golf course. She says the same thing to teammate Aliyah Boston before every Indiana Fever game. When you buy one of the basketballs in Clark's new line from Wilson, you're not just getting a ball. You're getting a glimpse of Clark herself. Advertisement The colors, the patterns, the detailing — all are the result of months-long conversations between Clark and Wilson's design team about who she is, what she likes and what messages she wants to send to young fans. 'It was a really fun process for me to go through,' Clark told USA TODAY Sports. 'It's things that are super important to me and all very different things, too, throughout my life. So hopefully they can make an impact on whoever's going to pick the ball up.' Clark joined Michael Jordan as the only athletes with full basketball collections for Wilson, signing a multiyear sponsorship deal in May 2024 with the official manufacturer of basketballs for the WNBA, NBA and NCAA. In part because of the short turnaround time before the release of her first signature ball last October, Clark's first line leaned heavily into history. The records she broke at Iowa. Her historic rookie season with the Fever. But Clark and Wilson knew they wanted future lines to be more personal, reflecting who Clark is as a person as much as a player. Advertisement 'She's actually influencing this. It's not just people at Wilson picking the design,' said Hudson Vantrease, director of product design at Wilson. 'We never wanted to just put her name on a ball and call it a day,' he added. 'We want to tell the most compelling story, and having her as part of that is a positive to it.' Wilson invited USA TODAY Sports to attend the design team meeting in April where Clark saw the finished basketballs for the first time. The design team also gave USA TODAY Sports a behind-the-scenes look at the collaboration process with Clark for the latest collection, which will be released June 23. There are four balls in the collection, and they differ in both purpose (one is an indoor-only ball, one is outdoor-only and two can be used either indoors or outdoors) and price point. One, the Embrace, is an Evo NXT basketball, meaning it has the same construction as a regulation W ball and could be used in official games. Advertisement 'Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome,' Clark said when she walked into the Fever's practice gym and saw the four new basketballs. 'You guys killed it.' Caitlin Clark poses with basketballs from the second edition of her signature collection with Wilson Sporting Goods. The new line of four basketballs -- the Aspire, the Embrace, the Envision and the Oasis -- will be available June 23. The team responsible for developing Clark's line has about a dozen core members. They met with Clark at last year's All-Star Game and got her initial thoughts about the collection, including what a young Caitlin Clark would have wanted. 'I think she said a blue ball,' said Haley Reines, the product line manager at Wilson. Afterward, Reines and product designer Julia Muscarello sent Clark a detailed questionnaire, asking her everything from her favorite color to her hobbies outside of basketball to what she'd be if she wasn't a basketball player (chef). They also monitored social media, taking note of Clark's clothes — there's an Instagram account devoted to her fits — and what she does off the court. Advertisement 'I don't want to say borderline stalking, but yeah,' Muscarello said with a laugh. 'I was trying to stay on the Caitlin pulse.' Those answers and details drove the design process, which involved 'hundreds' of hours. Christopher Rickert, the senior director of global production at Wilson, said the team began with 50 design ideas and whittled them down. Sometimes the color wasn't right. Sometimes the pattern didn't work. Sometimes what seemed like a great idea on paper didn't quite translate into reality. When the team had 10 ideas, they sent the designs to Clark for her thoughts. There were further tweaks, and prototypes were made to make sure the designs looked the same on an actual basketball as they did in drawings. Advertisement The four designs ultimately chosen for this year's line all have very different looks, but there's a commonality to all of them. Clark. 'Whenever I do something, I want to make it the best product possible for people. But also I feel like this is an easy way for me to connect with my fans,' Clark said of being so involved in the design process. 'I want it to feel very personal for them, too. They can connect with me, not just by watching me on TV or coming and buying a ticket to a game.' Take the Oasis ball, which can be used indoors and outdoors. Clark told Reines and Muscarello her favorite color is blue, she likes pastels and her happy places are the water and golf course. So the panels of the Oasis ball are white and light blue, and the light blue panels have what looks like pink and green splashes of paint but is actually an abstract drawing of a golf course. Advertisement Clark picked up on it right away when she saw the ball. 'That looks like a hole on a golf course!' she exclaimed. Light blue is also the shade used for the pattern on the Envision, an outdoor ball. At first glance, it looks like a maze, but it's really the words 'DREAM BIG.' That phrase is also on the Aspire, an indoor/outdoor ball that at first appears to be white or grey. Put it in the sunlight, however, and the phrases 'Dream Big,' 'Keep Going' and 'You're Going to Be Amazing Because You Are Amazing' emerge in bold, Fever-red letters. That last phrase is what Clark says to Boston before every game. Advertisement 'See, she loves it!' Clark said, pointing to a picture of her and Boston on the bench that was on the design team's planning whiteboard. 'We'll get her a free basketball. She'll love it. I'm going to put it in her locker.' The second edition of Caitlin Clark's signature basketball line with Wilson Sporting Goods launches June 23. Clark was personally involved in choosing the designs of the (shown left to right) Envision, Embrace, Oasis and Aspire balls. Because the Embrace is an official basketball, it cannot have any obvious detailing. Look closely, though, and you can see a pattern — again, light blue — within the Wilson logo and in what looks like a sunburst around the airhole. Both are the visual representation of the decibel level at a Fever game; the Wilson team took an audio file of the sound and made a graphic out of it. 'Fans really admire how she just plays so well under pressure,' Muscarello said. 'Sometimes it's OK to embrace the noise.' Advertisement Though Clark had been involved in every step of the design process, seeing the basketballs on a computer screen is very different than holding the finished product. Clark picked up each of the basketballs and examined it, taking note of the different details. She spun each ball and shifted it from one hand to the other. She also studied the design team's whiteboards, pointing to some of the notes and photos. Though she initially seemed most taken by the Oasis ball, she was fascinated with the Envision's UV technology and said she'd have loved to have had a basketball that revealed 'secret' messages when she was a kid. She also was impressed that Wilson's design team was able to turn a decibel meter reading into a design. Advertisement 'They're all unique in their own way. They all have different things I love about them,' Clark said. 'I think they each serve their own purpose and are different. Caitlin Clark takes a shot with the Embrace basketball from her latest collection with Wilson Sporting Goods. The ball features a graphic of the decibel level at an Indiana Fever game last season. 'So I guess you have to buy 'em all!' she added, laughing. While there will be some fans who buy the whole collection, whether to use or keep as memorabilia, Clark was conscious of not pricing any fans out of the new line. Two of the balls are less than $50, with the outdoor Envision ball costing $27.95 and the Oasis indoor ball priced at $49.95, while the Aspire outdoor ball is $54.95. The Embrace, which is Wilson's premium Evo NXT basketball, costs $124.95. Advertisement All the balls will be available on Wilson's website and at retail sporting goods stores. Last year's collection sold out almost immediately and, given the appetite for all things Clark, it's a good bet this one will, too. 'It's kind of cool to see how the balls came back and they feel very 'me,'' Clark told USA TODAY Sports. 'That's what I love about it. I feel like I'm sharing part of my life and my journey with people. "I could have never dreamed (as a child) to have something like this," she added. "It's pretty special."

John Stamos reveals he broke news of Brian Wilson's death to Mike Love
John Stamos is opening up about the "heartbreaking" moment he revealed to Beach Boys co-founder Mike Love that his cousin and bandmate Brian Wilson had died. Wilson, whose family announced his death on Wednesday, was 82. "It's absolutely heartbreaking. I was with Mike at the airport ... when I got the text, and I had to tell him," Stamos told ABC Audio at Love's induction to the Songwriters Hall of Fame on Thursday in New York City. "And I've never seen him that quiet. He just shut down. You know, 84 years with his cousin." Brian Wilson, legendary Beach Boys singer-songwriter, dies at 82 "He loved his cousin. They loved each other," Stamos added about Love and Wilson's unique bond. Stamos, who has been performing with the Beach Boys on and off since 1985, honored Love at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony. They also performed a medley of "California Girls," "I Get Around," "Kokomo" and "Good Vibrations." On the carpet, Stamos lauded Love's and Wilson's contributions to the Beach Boys' music. "He painted the cinematic tableau of California ... and it was all about love and positivity and optimism and joy," Stamos said about Love. "Mike is a songwriter's songwriter. Brian Wilson was the biggest genius that ever walked this earth. He was so big and he was so powerful that sometimes Mike got overlooked," Stamos said. Still, he noted that Wilson was always quick to say, "Mike wrote that, Mike did this, Mike did that." Love told ABC Audio that Wilson was "a mastermind" of the tracks. "If you were to listen to the tracks of 'Pet Sounds,' it's mind-blowing," he said. "You'd say, how the heck did he ever do that? But he did it, and then we slaved over the vocals." He continued, "If ... Brian came up with the track for 'California Girls,' I'd be out in the hallway writing the words." Love also reacted to the tributes many shared for Wilson this week, including one from Bruce Springsteen, who called the Beach Boys "America's greatest band." "I think that's a wonderful thing for him to say. He's The Boss," Love said. Love also reacted to Elton John's recent comments. "What Elton John recently said was that he believes 'Pet Sounds' will be the only album that will be played forever," he said. "That's pretty amazing, coming from Elton John."
