Vivian Wilson mocks conservatives profiting off her name: 'You're welcome'
Sorry conservatives, Vivian Wilson has zero fucks left to give. The model and social media personality recently sat down for a 20 minute chat with Sasha Colby, courtesy of Teen Vogue. They discussed everything from their love of drag to role models to online friendships, but one thing in particular that Colby wanted to ask about was that sense of fearlessness Wilson has been emitting ever since she slid onto the scene. "I've been like up for fodder for the right wing and it gets a little scary," Colby said. "You're like just so resilient with it. Like, you just go for it, you welcome it. What is that drive? Where is that from?" "Well, drive of not giving a fuck," she replied. "First of all, if conservatives are talking about me, they're making money off of my name. So they are thanking me behind the screen. You're welcome. Second of all, if they're talking about me, then they are free to talk about me, but I don't have to listen." - YouTube It's a great outlook, and one Colby was quick to praise, joking that Wilson just saved her ten years of therapy. As for how she reached that point of no fucks given? Well, for that, she largely credits drag, admitting that she was "basically this like, anxious fem boy" in high school. But watching drag and, eventually, participating in drag helped her find the confidence she needed. It's a common story among drag performers, but one that never grows old. And the same way Wilson says she found inspiration from Colby and other performers who came before her, her own story of finding confidence in drag is likely to inspire others — no matter how much the haters try to bring her down. "Not giving a fucking is not that hard after you've kind of been dragged across the coals," she noted. "After you get dragged across like burning coals, being dragged across normal coals, it's a massage."

Vivian Wilson, Elon Musk's daughter, fights ICE with drag debut
Vivian Wilson has made her drag debut — for a good cause. The transgender daughter (and critic) of Elon Musk took the stage Friday in Los Angeles! She lip-synced her heart out, delivering a show-stopping performance that had the crowd on their feet. The fundraiser, called Pattie Gonia Presents SAVE HER! — An Environmental Drag Show, was organized by Pattie Gonia, an Out100 honoree, drag performer, and activist. The lineup also featured drag performers Vera!, Nini Coco, Jacob Ostler, Vivllainous, Skirt Cocaine, Noxxia Datura, and Trudy Tective. 100 percent of the proceeds went toward immigrant legal defense funds. The event was held at The Bellwether, just minutes from where protestors of ICE have been gathering in downtown L.A. The city has become the center of national news since the June 6 raid of a Home Depot kicked off a series of demonstrations and an escalating response from the Trump administration, which has mobilized the National Guard and U.S. Marines over the objections of Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom. A national day of protests called "No Kings" is set to take place Saturday in cities across the country.

Elon Musk's Estranged Daughter Seemingly Relishes Trump Fallout: 'Such Beauty In Life'
Elon Musk's estranged daughter Vivian Wilson seems to be relishing the public fallout between her father and President Donald Trump — understandably so, as the tech billionaire previously stated that Wilson is 'dead' to him for coming out as trans and legally changing her name. Wilson's supposed glee at the ongoing political feud kicked off this week in the form of two Instagram posts that multiplemediaoutlets captured before they expired for public viewing. 'I do not want to comment. I love being proven right,' said Wilson in the first clip Thursday through laughter, per People. The second post — accompanied by a Chase Icon song titled 'Job Application'— included a screenshot of a Threads postin which Wilson simply wrote, 'Such beauty in life.' Musk, the CEO of Tesla, spent millions to help fuel Trump's reelection, but began criticizing the president last month over the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — which the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates would add $2.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next 10 years. The feud reached a peak Thursday when Musk posted on X, formerly Twitter, that the reason the Jeffrey Epstein files haven't been released is because Trump is in them. Epstein, a financier, died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Musk has since deleted his post, which prompted colorful reactions from critics — including his daughter. Wilson has long distanced herself from her father. The 21-year-old changed her legal name in 2022, opting for the surname of her mother Justine Wilson, and is one of 14 known children Musk has had with four different women. Musk said in 2024 that his transgender daughter was 'killed by the woke mind virus.' Wilson responded at the time by noting she looks 'pretty good for a dead bitch,' and hasn't relented against Musk since. She has not only called him a 'serial adulterer' and fake Christian, but slammed his 'Nazi salute shit' after Musk's appearance at Trump's inauguration event in January.

Elon Musk's estranged transgender daughter gloats after Tesla bosses stunning fallout with Trump
Elon Musk 's estranged transgender daughter has subtly reacted to her billionaire father's explosive fallout with Donald Trump. Vivian Wilson, 21, rose to notoriety in the last year for publicly bashing her estranged father, who claimed he was 'tricked' into letting her transition at 16, a contention she strenuously denied. Her Tesla CEO father and commander-in-chief went head-to-head Thursday in a war of words after Musk turned on the president with a flurry of insults over his 'big, beautiful Bill.' Wilson addressed the feud on her Instagram Stories with a video of herself laughing captioned, 'I love being proven right.' She said, 'I do not want to comment,' then burst into a fit of laughter. She followed up with post from Threads paired with the song 'Job Application' by Chase Icon and the caption, 'Such beauty in life.' Trump was asked about Musk's criticism when he was supposed to be hosting the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office on Thursday. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will any more, I was surprised,' the president told reporters. The president suggested that Musk was angry - not over the bill ballooning the deficit - but because the Trump administration has pulled back on electric vehicle mandates, which negatively impacted Tesla, and replaced the Musk-approved nominee to lead NASA, which could hinder SpaceX's government contracts. 'And you know, Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles, and they're having a hard time the electric vehicles and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy,' Trump said. 'I know that disturbed him.' Musk posted to X as Trump's Q&A with reporters was ongoing, writing, 'Whatever. 'Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,' he advised. 'In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that [is] both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this!' Musk continued. 'Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.' The spat quickly turned personal with Musk then posting that Trump would have lost the 2024 election had it not been for the world's richest man - him. 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,' Musk claimed. Trump asserted that he had asked Musk to leave his administration and said the billionaire went 'CRAZY!' Wilson addressed the feud on her Instagram Stories with a video of herself laughing and a Threads post saying, 'Such beauty in life' 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!' Trump wrote. The president then threatened to pull SpaceX and Tesla's government contracts. 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!' Trump wrote. Musk then taunted Trump to act and said, 'This just gets better and better,' he wrote. 'Go ahead, make my day.' The Tesla boss then escalated their fight and claimed that Trump is 'in the Epstein files.' '@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,' Musk wrote. 'Have a nice day, DJT!' Trump didn't directly respond to Musk's Epstein charge, instead posting what amounted to a shrug on Truth Social, while also continuing to back the 'big, beautiful bill.' 'I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,' Trump wrote. 'This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress.'
