Elon Musk’s transgender daughter was granted a name and gender change on Wednesday. While symbolizing her transition, the name change is also an effort to cut ties with her father. “Gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
Court records indicate that Musk’s daughters’ request was granted on Wednesday and her legal name now is Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is one of five children that Elon and Justine Musk had before splitting in 2008. Vivian filed the petition on April 18, not long after her 18th birthday.
It is unclear how much being trans has to do with Vivian choosing to distance herself from her billionaire father. In 2020, Elon Musk tweeted that although he supported transgender people, “all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare.” Elon revealed in May, 2022. That he will support republican candidates moving forward. Specifically, the “don’t say gay” bill enforcer Ron De Santis.
Elon Musk tweeted that he loves all of his children this past weekend during father’s day. Although Vivian’s mother has yet to comment on the matter, she recently took to twitter to proclaim how proud she is of her daughter. Elon Musk’s daughter has not responded to requests for comment.
