Elon Musk gave credit to his daughter, Vivian Wilson, for getting into politics. Recently, Syd Steyerhart, who goes by the X account @SydSteyerhart, posted a long message on the social media platform, writing that the businessman would never have gotten involved in politics if it weren’t for his daughter. What stunned people was that the billionaire responded quickly to the post, commenting, “True.”
Elon Musk responds to X tweet linking his political career to daughter Vivian Wilson
Elon Musk recently responded to a post suggesting that he wouldn’t have gotten involved in politics had it not been for his daughter. A post by @SydSteyerhart wrote, “We should never forget that if not for Vivian, Elon Musk never would have gotten involved, never would have purchased Twitter, Kamala Harris would be President and the Left-wing would have total instrumental control over the construction of Skynet.”
Wilson has recently been announced as a model for Fenty’s latest 2026 campaign in honor of Pride month. The X post was made in reaction to that. As soon as Musk commented on the post, viewers started pouring in with their reactions. Some viewers noted how quickly he rushed to the comments section, writing, “Godspeed sir.” Meanwhile, others said that he is a great “warrior.”
Musk reportedly entered politics officially in 2024. While he had been active in political discussions since 2017, when he spoke about policy issues like AI and infrastructure at the National Governors Association, his involvement remained largely advisory at the time. However, in 2024, he went all in, becoming a major campaign figure in the presidential election. He also briefly served as the Commissioner of the Department of Government Efficiency in 2025.
The recent post made many people revisit moments where he publicly talked about political and social issues. The conversation also drew attention to Musk’s tendency to quickly react to viral posts. Within hours, the post went viral, with many likes, reposts, and comments accumulating rapidly.Elon Musk daughter
