Elon Musk's Daughter Discovered She Had A Half-Sibling Through Reddit, And The Story Is Absolutely Unhinged
After conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair announced last week that she gave birth to Elon's 13th child, Vivian shared a TikTok writing that this was not the first, but the second time she found out about a potential sibling via Reddit.
"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 happened twice, right?" she wrote over a short clip.
In another post on Threads, Vivian shared that she has actually found out about six of her half-siblings through the Internet. "'I don't know how many siblings I have' goes really hard on 2 truths and a lie though I will admit," she said.

When asked which platform was the worst to find out on, she replied, "r/rupaulsdragrace I am being so deadass right now."
In a follow-up TikTok, she shared the story. "Storytime, 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 proceeded to share how exactly she found out about Elon Musk and Grimes' latest child — and her new sibling. "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 came across the news. "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 2 contestant Tatianna," she said.
She continued, "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."

She said, "This is a real thing that happened to me, girl. I found out about my half-brother because of the fucking same-parts drag queen, whomst we stan."
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."
Vivian, who transitioned and legally changed her name to drop "Musk" in 2022, is one of Musk's children with his first wife, Justine Wilson. Vivian has previously alluded to Musk being an absentee dad.
After Elon Musk went on a rant on X in July 2024 claiming, while deadnaming her, that he knew Vivian was "born gay and slightly autistic" because she liked musicals, amongst other bizarre claims, Vivian wrote, "This entire thing is completely made up and there's a reason for this. He doesn't know what I was like as a child because he quite simply wasn't there, and in the little time that he was I was relentlessly harassed for my femininity and queerness."

She continued, "Obviously he can't say that, so I've been reduced to a happy little stereotype f*g-ing along to use at his discretion. I think that says alot about how he views queer people and children in general."
Vivian proceeded to defend her gender identity and then gave some... choice words about Musk, criticizing him for seeking validation "from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him."
Anyhoo, finding out about your half-sibling, born to the richest man in the world, through the RuPaul Drag Race subreddit is truly one of the most unhinged things I've read in awhile. I'm glad Vivian can find humor in all the mess, and all I can do is wish her well.

Shelter Cat Born With a 'Fluffy' Nose Finally Meets Her Family After Appeal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A rescue cat with very quirky features has finally found a loving home, as internet users praise her for giving "Nanny McPhee vibes." Winifred the rescue feline, who is thought to be around 3 years old, was discovered outside by a cat caregiver in Chicago, Illinois. That individual, who works on Trap-Neuter-Return efforts in the local area, fostered Winifred until she could be added to the PAWS Chicago adoption program. Allison Wunder, the senior digital media manager at PAWS Chicago, a no-kill humane organization, told Newsweek that Winifred is "very affectionate and loving." However, the cat certainly has some distinctive features that make her stand out from the crowd. Winifred isn't like other felines, as she has "a fluffy nose" due to a dermoid on that part of her face, and she also has an extra canine tooth right in the middle of her upper gums that protrudes out. They are certainly adorable features and simply add to Winifred's individuality. From left: Winifred the rescue cat rests at PAWS Chicago. From left: Winifred the rescue cat rests at PAWS Chicago. @pawschicago / TikTok Indeed, Winifred bears a strong resemblance to Nanny McPhee, played by actress Emma Thompson in the 2005 children's movie. Wunder said: "She has a benign lump on top of her nose that is growing hair and even a couple of whiskers. This is cosmetic only and doesn't cause her any problems. Similar to her tooth, removing it would put her through unnecessary surgery and recovery. "She will roll around for pets, and her favorite toys are Ping-Pong balls. She is a really sweet, calm companion," Wunder added. The dermoid and the extra tooth don't impact Winifred in any way. She can still eat like normal, and she has a strong sense of smell. A video of the 'Nanny McPheeline' was shared on the PAWS Chicago TikTok account (@pawschicago) and it went viral with over 1.3 million views and more than 219,000 likes at the time of writing. The clip encouraged people to consider rescuing Winifred and to give her a second chance at life. In the days since the video was shared online, Winifred's furry nose and extra tooth have melted plenty of hearts. Internet users have become so obsessed with her, and the appeal has even helped her get adopted. Winifred is now in her forever home, and it is delightful that her quirky features didn't get in the way of her being truly loved. "The response on social was incredible; so many people commented to express their love for Winifred. A lot of people compared her to Nanny McPhee, too," Wunder said. The social-media attention has led to more than 2,100 comments on the viral TikTok post already. One comment reads: "she's giving Nanny McPhee, I'm sobbing." Another TikTok user wrote: "she's perfect & I hope her future family treats her like the queen she is." A third person replied: "extra tooth for extra treats."

Labrador Retriever Has Been At Shelter Nearly 1500 Days—It's 'Taken A Toll'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog is closing in on 1,500 days at an animal shelter and, sadly, it's beginning to show. Lucky the Labrador Retriever's situation first came to light after staff at the Ady Gil World Conservation (AGWC) Rockin' Rescue Animal Adoption Center in California posted a video to TikTok under the handle @agwcrockinrescue earlier this month, highlighting how long he had been there. By that time, Lucky had been waiting 1,482 days to find a forever home to call his own. Now he is just two weeks away from racking up 1,500 days there. The sad reality is that Lucky really hasn't had all that much luck in his life to date. "Lucky came to us on June 29, 2021," Fabienne Origer from AGWC Rockin' Rescue told Newsweek. "He was originally rescued from a neglect situation, and although we don't know every detail about his past, it's clear he didn't receive much love or structure before arriving here."

"Some of Lucky's favorite things include going for walks, playing fetch, and spending time with the people he trusts," Origer said. "He's also a big fan of enrichment toys and mental stimulation—he's the kind of dog who thrives when he has a job to do." Sadly, Lucky has not garnered much in the way of interest from visitors to the shelter. "Lucky has struggled to get adopted mainly because he needs experienced dog owners and a home without small children," Origer said. "He takes a bit of time to trust new people, and that initial hesitation can be challenging in a shelter setting where first impressions are everything." Shelter dogs have the smallest of windows in which to catch the eye of a visitor. One 2014 study published in Applied Animal Behavior Science found that the average shelter visitor interacts with just one dog per visit, and that these interactions last an average of eight minutes. That's not enough time for Lucky. He needs someone with patience. Someone willing to put in the time. It's worth it though. "Once he bonds with someone, he's all in—devoted and affectionate," Origer said. Lucky is closing in on 1500 days in the shelter. Lucky is closing in on 1500 days in the shelter. TikTok/agwcrockinrescue Until that someone comes along though, Lucky has little choice but to watch and wait from the confines of the shelter. It's a situation that has clearly had an impact, with Lucky appearing nervous and withdrawn in the video posted to TikTok by AGWC. "He's starting to lose hope and becoming depressed," a caption accompanying the footage warns. "Spending over 1,400 days without a home has definitely taken a toll on Lucky," Origer said. "While we do everything we can to give him the best life possible at the rescue, nothing compares to the stability, routine, and love that a forever home can provide. He deserves that." Though Lucky may have given up hope of finding that forever home he so desperately needs, the AGWC hasn't and, after four years together, have a clear idea of the kind of home he would be best suited to. "Lucky would do best in a calm, adult-only home with someone who has experience handling larger breeds and is willing to go at his pace," Origer said. "He needs someone who understands that trust takes time—but once it's earned, it's for life."

How Companies Can Harness That Meme Energy
By Meme stocks. They're back! This time around it's GoPro, Beyond Meat, Kohl, Krispy Kreme and Opendoor Tech. Think short squeezes, sudden price moves (Opendoor up 300% in a few months and down 50% in a week), lots of Reddit chat and much money made and lost. It's all a lot of fun (bar the losing bit).
