Big news in Elon Musk’s house. The daughter of Tesla’s billionaire has just submitted a formal request for the change of name and genderas the site reports TMZ. At the registry office it is still Xavier, but now the new 18-year-old (who reached the age of majority last April) she chose to be called Vivian Jenna Wilson, as a tribute to the surname of his mother Justine, famous Canadian author, first wife of the entrepreneur (who has seven children in total).
Vivian wishes to use the pronoun “they”as he asked in official documents filed with the California court, which set a hearing on Friday, June 24, before a Santa Monica judge.
The girl has not made any comments so it is not known whether she will receive a maintenance allowance from father, who incidentally is the richest man in the world, with an estimated marriage of $ 213 billion. In the reasons for the name change, however, appears the desire to cut every bridge with the tycoon. To be precise wrote that she has no desire to be associated with her biological father in any possible sense.
The marriage between the parents lasted only eight years (from 2000 to 2008) and from their union two twins were born (Xavier and Griffin) and then three, now 16 years old (Damian, Kai and Saxon). But there have been no leaks about the parent’s reaction, especially after the recent comments considered transphobic. They are not the only ones, since Musk had already written on Twitter in 2020 that he cannot stand pronouns (defined by himself as an aesthetic nightmare).
Meanwhile his former partner, 34-year-old singer Grimes – mother of her youngest children X AE A-XII (for friends X) and Exa Dark Siderael (known as Y) – is dating Chelsea Manning, who is part of the transgender community.
