Vivian Jenna Wilson made a striking appearance on the runway at a Drag Race event following her confrontation with Elon Musk regarding his transphobic comments on social media.
Vivian Jenna Wilson, the daughter of tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, captivated audiences during her appearance on the runway at the premiere of Season 10 of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ this week.
The event, which took place in New York City on Thursday, attracted numerous celebrities, influencers, and enthusiasts of the renowned reality show.
Vivian Jenna Wilson confidently walked the runway at the premiere of ‘Drag Race’, as reported by Page Six.
At just 20 years old, she delivered an impressive voguing performance that highlighted her vibrant energy and charisma before an enthusiastic audience.
Her commanding presence on stage was met with enthusiastic cheers and applause, particularly during her moment in the spotlight alongside drag icon Acid Betty.
The duo held hands and walked together, later taking photos with fellow drag performer Daya Betty.
Vivian courageously replied to her father’s transphobic comment. She has consistently shown her appreciation for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ and its influence on culture.
The show’s themes of self-expression and empowerment strongly connect with her, particularly as a young transgender woman discovering her voice in the spotlight.
In March, Wilson gained widespread attention for her clever online retort directed at her father, who made a transphobic statement using her dead name.

Her message concluded with a pointed caption: ‘And you don’t.’ Wilson has openly discussed her journey of coming out as transgender. In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, she recounted the crucial moment of recognizing her identity.
Overwhelmed and feeling isolated during her adolescence, Wilson understood that she had to embrace her truth to avoid descending into emotional turmoil.
She reflected on her experiences of late-night anxiety and distressing school days, expressing, ‘I didn’t want to wake up, I didn’t want to do anything.’ ‘I just wanted to rot, pretty much.
I was like, ‘I cannot do this anymore.’’ Ultimately, she stated that her decision to come out was a life-saving choice.
The rift between Musk and his daughter intensifies, as public scrutiny increases. Vivian Jenna Wilson has been officially acknowledged by her chosen name since 2022.
Nevertheless, her tumultuous relationship with her father continues to attract media attention. Musk asserted that he inadvertently consented to her gender-affirming treatment, despite his contentious remarks regarding transgender matters.
In a July interview with NBC News, Wilson challenged this assertion, highlighting Musk’s public distortion of the facts. She stated, ‘If you are going to fabricate stories about me… I will not allow that to go unchallenged.’

Her frank remarks also highlight Musk’s minimal involvement in her upbringing, even though he had joint custody. Wilson stated that his presence was infrequent: ‘He was there, I would estimate, perhaps 10 percent of the time.
That’s being generous.’ ‘He had shared custody, yet he was largely absent. It was simply a reality at that time, so I don’t think I fully understood how unusual that experience was.’ While her father has been critical of her identity, Wilson has expressed gratitude towards her mother, author Justine Musk, for her steadfast support.
The former couple was married from 2000 to 2008 and have several children together. Vivian continues to champion transgender rights, utilizing her platform to confront damaging narratives and promote authenticity.
Her debut on the runway at a significant LGBTQ+ event signifies a new phase — one in which she asserts her identity on her own terms.
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’ Season 10 is broadcast on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET.
