Elon Musk’s daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, made a striking entrance into the world of drag during a vibrant performance in Los Angeles, coinciding with Pride Month. At the Pattie Gonia Presents SAVE HER! – An Environmental Drag Show held on June 14, 2025, Wilson, who performs under the name Vivllainous, captivated the audience by proudly waving a Trans flag while delivering a lip-sync rendition of JJ’s hit song “Wasted Love.”
The event aimed to raise funds for a legal defense fund supporting migrants in the Los Angeles area, showcasing the intersection of art, activism, and community support. Dressed in a stylish black bodysuit and corset, Wilson’s performance was energetic and engaging, complete with dramatic hair flips that drew enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Makeup artist Noxxia Datura, who prepared Wilson for her debut, shared her excitement on Instagram, stating, “Painted @vivllainous for her drag debut at the SAVE HER! show, served cvnty moth and shook my fans 😝 thank you to @pattiegonia and the entire SAVE HER! team for having me!!! last night was sosososooo incredible.”
Vivian Jenna Wilson, 21, has been open about her estrangement from her father, Elon Musk, particularly since coming out as transgender in 2020. She legally changed her last name from Musk to Wilson in 2022, expressing a desire to distance herself from her father. In a candid interview with Teen Vogue earlier this year, she revealed that she has been financially independent since her transition, emphasizing that her identity and choices are hers alone.
“I haven’t made any money from being famous at all,” Wilson stated. “I have made zero dollars and zero cents. I do live in a lot of people’s heads rent-free, though. I feel like Twitch streaming would be so much fun…. I don’t feel like the world needs another Twitch streamer, but I’d love to do it.”
Elon Musk, known for his ventures with Tesla, SpaceX, and PayPal, has faced scrutiny regarding his relationships with his children. He shares twins Vivian and Griffin with ex-wife Justine Wilson, alongside triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Musk’s parenting has often been a topic of discussion, especially given his complex family dynamics, which now include a total of 14 children with four different women.
The rift between Musk and Wilson has been publicly acknowledged, with Musk suggesting that his daughter’s views have been influenced by a “full-on communism” ideology. He expressed that while their relationship may change in the future, he has maintained strong connections with his other children.
Wilson’s performance at the drag show was not just a personal milestone; it was also a celebration of her identity and a statement of support for the LGBTQ+ community. As she shared clips of her performance on Instagram, fans praised her for her confidence and artistry, with one follower commenting on her “lethal” hair flips.
In a light-hearted moment, Wilson also joked about her father’s growing number of half-siblings, quipping on TikTok, “Wow, if I had a nickel for every time I found out I had half-siblings through Reddit, I’d have two nickels … which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice, right?”
Wilson’s drag debut represents a significant step in her journey of self-expression and independence, showcasing her talent and commitment to advocacy. As she continues to navigate her path in the public eye, fans can look forward to seeing more of Vivllainous and her vibrant contributions to the world of art and activism.
