Elon Musk’s Child Tells Court She No Longer Wants ‘To Be Related’ To Her Dad

Elon Musk’s teenage transgender daughter, Xavier Musk, filed documents to legally change her name to dissociate herself from her billionaire father. She also changed her gender from male to female. She asked to be recognized as Vivian Jenna Wilson.

Several legal filings that came to light on Monday included this report. In the petition, she stated, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form.” She filed the petition to get a name change as well as a new birth certificate. This was done after she turned 18- the legal age of consent in the state of California. 

The documents for a name change were filed with the Los Angeles county superior court. Elon Musk’s daughter had taken the extra step of redacting her new name from online documents. Her mother is Justine Wilson- a famous author from Canada- who was married to Elon from 2000 to 2008. Wilson and Musk have five children together. In a tweet on Tuesday, Wilson stated that she was proud of what her daughter did. 

Elon Musk and His Daughter Have A Major Rift Between Themselves

Although it is quite unclear what led to the rift between Elon Musk and his daughter, one can assume. Musk’s tweets in the past haven’t really been in support of the LGBTQ+ community- so that could be a reason. In 2020, he had also sparked controversy after tweeting something that received widespread criticism. The tweet said, “when you put he/him in your bio” and it was accompanied by an 18th-century British soldier spreading blood on his face.

He then went on to defend his stance, tweeting, “I absolutely support Trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare.” Just this month, Musk also mentioned that he had voted for the Republican party for the first time ever. He also revealed that he had been leaning towards voting for Gov. Ron DeSantis. DeSantis, who on his part, came under fire for signing a piece of legislation named the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

While Elon Musk’s daughter had redacted her name from online documents, ET got hold of the legal document. It stated that Xavier Alexander Musk would love to change her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson. She would also like to change her gender from male to female. This took place on the 18th of April- just a day after she turned 18.
