Vivian Jenna Wilson's father is the least interesting thing about her.

Yes, that father is billionaire Elon Musk, but over the last few years, Wilson has made a name for herself. The 22-year-old model initially entered the public eye when she came out as trans in 2020 — much to the chagrin of her transphobic father — but in the past year, her profile has risen more and more.

Wilson has graced fashion show runways and magazine covers, and it seems like she's just getting started. In February 2026, Paper Magazine called her a Gen Z icon, and in April, she appeared in the music video for Katseye's song "PINKY UP."

Wilson isn't afraid to be politically outspoken, advocating for universal basic income, free healthcare, and trans rights. She also isn't afraid to troll her estranged father: She recently released a merch line called Evil Woke Mind Virus, after Musk said she was "killed by the woke mind virus."

Fans of Wilson can follow her on various social media accounts, including Instagram and TikTok, where she has the most followers at 1.9 million. Across all her social profiles (including Bluesky, Threads, and Twitch), she's amassed over 3 million followers.
