Elon Musk’s Trans Daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson Makes Powerful Drag Debut at Anti-ICE Fundraiser in Los Angeles

Vivian Jenna Wilson, 21, the transgender daughter of tech billionaire Elon Musk, made a striking entrance into the drag world over the weekend with her debut performance at an anti-ICE fundraiser in downtown Los Angeles. The event, titled “SAVE HER! — an Environmental Drag Show,” was held Friday night at The Bellweather, just blocks away from recent sites of unrest during protests, according to Out Magazine.

Wearing a sleek, skin-tight black bodysuit paired with a metal-structured corset and black high-heeled boots, Vivian commanded the stage with confidence. Her long blonde hair cascaded down to her hips, complemented by dramatic dark eyeshadow and matching lipstick. At one point during the show, she demonstrated impressive flexibility by kicking her leg behind her head while contorting on the stage floor, earning cheers from the crowd.

The fundraiser, organized by drag activist Pattie Gonia, aimed to raise money for an immigration legal defense fund to support individuals affected by recent ICE raids. Vivian’s participation highlighted her commitment to social causes and her identity as a fierce advocate for marginalized communities.

Reflecting on her first drag performance, Vivian called the experience “life-changing.” In an Instagram post shared on Sunday, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity and the support she received: “Thank you so much to everyone for a life-changing experience while helping raise money for those in need.”

Fans and fellow performers flooded her social media with praise. Comments ranged from “The fiercest drag debut of them all! So proud of you, diva,” to “You were incredible, and it was an honor to watch you,” and “The hair is hairing, the body is bodying, the dance is dancing.”

Vivian had previously shared her aspiration to perform in a drag show during a cover feature with Teen Vogue. She revealed a particular interest in competing in drag pageants, expressing enthusiasm for appearing as a “drag king” — a performer who embraces masculine drag personas. “I would eat that up,” she told the magazine.

The young performer’s journey has not been without controversy, especially given her very public disagreements with her father. Elon Musk has been vocal on social media about his views on gender identity, controversially claiming last year that Vivian was “tricked” by what he calls the “woke mind virus” into transitioning. He also suggested that his daughter had been “turned into a communist” after attending an elite private school in Los Angeles.

Vivian has not shied away from confronting her father’s statements. In interviews, she has described Musk as a “pathetic man-child” and candidly expressed her indifference to his opinions. “I don’t give a f–k about him. I really don’t,” she said. “It’s annoying that people associate me with him. I just don’t have room to care anymore.”

Vivian’s drag debut is not just a personal milestone but a bold public declaration of her identity and values. By aligning her art with activism, she’s carving out her own space beyond the shadow of one of the world’s most famous entrepreneurs.
