With Elon Musk all over the internet these days, we're looking at his ancestry in the WikiTree Challenge and his connections in the Connection Finder. Featured alongside Elon are other Twitter notable (and notorious) users:

Which one is most closely connected to you? If you're one of the 25.8 million of us who are connected to each other on our big tree you can check with the Connection Finder.

You can check for shared ancestors with the Relationship Finder. Are you a cousin to any of them? Your Relationship Finder Quick Links page (see your profile pull-down menu under "Relationships") has quick links for several notable groups.

Special feature: Check out how you're connected to other notables by using the green MyConnections button in the upper right hand corner of the category page. Browse related categories like Entrepreneurs, Philanthropists, and First Ladies of the United States.

Let us know how you're related below! If you want to share your connection on social media with cousins and friends, click the "get shareable image" below the results, e.g. Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey. Then just upload it along with the URL of your direct connection. (Please refrain from sharing your connection on the featured profiles themselves, though. It clutters conversations on research and collaboration. Thanks!)

Help us with next week's Country Music Feature by helping to choose and improve profiles for it.

Huh, my ancestor Stephen Gates is in the patriline of Bill Gates. I should ask that guy if he is willing to do a Y-chromosome test. Usually, I offer to cover the price of the test, but I think I’ll hold off in this case…
