Vivian Jenna Wilson, the 22-year-old transgender daughter of Elon Musk, is making headlines again. In a viral video, Vivian is seen abruptly ending a red carpet interview at a high-profile fashion event in Ibiza, Spain, on June 2, 2026.

The incident, captured in a short video clip, shows Wilson visibly disengaging when a reporter brings up her estranged father, sparking widespread discussions about celebrity family estrangements, media ethics, and the personal boundaries of public figures’ children.


The clip quickly went viral after being shared by commentator Oli London on X, amassing millions of views within hours. This moment taps into ongoing public fascination with the Musk family dynamics, particularly the well-documented rift between Elon Musk and his transgender daughter.

Vivian Wilson walks out on the ‘Dad’ question: The viral Ibiza interview moment

The event marked Desigual’s 40th anniversary celebration, featuring the launch of their "Desigual Vintage" collection. Vivian Wilson, who has been building a career as a model and influencer, was in attendance and initially appeared comfortable engaging with the media on the red carpet. She discussed her positive experiences in Ibiza, mentioning the island’s natural beauty and her enjoyment of the event atmosphere.

The tone shifted dramatically when a Spanish-speaking reporter asked, “Your father the best, no?” Wilson responded with visible confusion: “My what?! Sorry?” and “¿Mi qué?” After the question was repeated, she simply said “Okay” and turned to walk away from the interview area.

The reporter continued speaking as she departed. The entire exchange lasted under 30 seconds but has been dissected frame by frame online.


This marks another instance where Wilson has chosen to disengage from discussions about her father in public settings, consistent with her previous statements about wanting to be recognised for her own achievements rather than family connections.

What are fans saying about this sudden walkout moment by Wilson?

The original post by @OliLondonTV has generated thousands of replies, reflecting polarised views.

An user commented- “Why ask her about her personal life when they know it’s an uncomfortable topic for her? Just stop harassing the poor woman and let her live her life on her own terms.”

Another user wrote- “Absolutely no one gives a f**k about this man. If he wasn’t his father son Elon Musk is the only reason people know this utterly deranged freak.”

Another comment read - “She gagged and got tf as she should. get out her face with that.”

An user also said- “Elon Musk’s trans daughter is more appropriate. Your juvenile characterization doesn’t erase the reality of who we are...”

Another user wrote - “‘storms off’ and she walked a’way because somebody asked a person an uncomfortable question regarding her relationship with her father...”


“Elon said she's dead. So why keep asking her about him? That's y'all obsession.”

Additional reactions ranged from support for Wilson setting boundaries to criticism that her public profile depends on the Musk connection. Many corrected misgendering in the original post.

Elon Musk and Vivian Wilson have a deep-rooted family estrangement

The estrangement between Elon Musk and Vivian Wilson has been public for several years. In 2022, at age 18, Wilson petitioned to legally change her name from Xavier Alexander Musk to Vivian Jenna Wilson, explicitly stating she no longer wished to be related to her biological father “in any way, shape or form.” Musk has publicly mourned the loss of his “son,” claiming in interviews that she was “killed by the woke mind virus.”

Wilson has countered these narratives in her own interviews. In her first major interview with NBC News in July 2024, she described Musk as largely absent during her childhood and critical of her feminine traits. She detailed specific instances, such as Musk yelling at her during a road trip for having a high voice.

She shared-

“I think he was under the assumption that I wasn’t going to say anything and I would just let this go, unchallenged... I’m not just gonna let that slide.”
She added-

“He was cold. He’s very quick to anger. He is uncaring and narcissistic.”
In subsequent interviews with Teen Vogue (March 2025) and The Cut, Wilson called Musk a “pathetic man-child” and expressed that she has no fear of his influence, emphasising her financial independence and desire to forge her own path.


What we know about Elon Musk’s daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson

Born on April 17, 2004, to Elon Musk and his first wife, author Justine Wilson, Vivian is one of the twins from that marriage. She publicly came out as transgender around 2020 and began her transition. By 2022, she had distanced herself legally and emotionally from her father.

Wilson has pursued modelling, social media influencing, and studies abroad in Tokyo. She has appeared in major publications like Teen Vogue, where she discussed life as a young trans woman, safety concerns in the current political climate, and her interests in reading, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and gaming. She maintains a following of nearly one million across platforms and has stressed financial independence.

In her Teen Vogue interview, she stated, “He’s a pathetic man-child. Why would I feel scared of him? Ohhh, he has so much power. Nah, nah, nah.” She also addressed not wanting to be defined solely by the family drama.

Wilson has occasionally responded directly on social media, such as posting on Threads “Last time I checked I am, indeed, not dead” in reply to Musk’s comments.

As of June 4, 2026, neither Vivian Wilson nor Elon Musk has issued new public statements specifically addressing the Ibiza incident. For Wilson, such moments may complicate her efforts to build an independent career in modelling and advocacy, yet they also keep her in the cultural conversation.
