Elon Musks Trans Child Petitions to Drop Last Name: I No Longer Live With or Wish to Be Related to My Biological FatherBy Kipp Jones
Elon Musks 18-year-old transgender daughter filed a petition to change both her first and last name, citing a desire for distance from the worlds wealthiest father, per a report.
According to TMZ, Xavier Musk has asked a California court to legally change her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson. The outlet reported:
In the docs, she says she wants to be recognized as female but the name change isnt just about her transitioning, theres clearly a rift with dear ol Dad. Vivian lists her reason for the name change as 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.

(57,413 posts)Even if estranged from her father, being the child of the world's richest man makes her a coveted target for ransom seekers. Her name change gives her an opportunity to become anonymous. But maybe that's impossible at this point.

(6,017 posts)He's a nasty person and I feel bad for his kids. Vivian isn't the first of his offspring to want to have nothing to do with him.
Re his kids, two others, named X and Y, are under 6, too young to know about him. They live in Austin in a non-descript house with their mother, Grimes.

(200 posts)His father is also a horrible person, he shot and killed three people, he said they were breaking into his house. He was charged (this is significant considering the wealth and status of Errol Musk) and they were later dismissed.
The cherry on that family cake is that Errol fathered a child in his seventies by his STEPDAUGHTER...
He says it was an accident...
I hope Elon's daughter is able to make her way and find a path to happiness and peace...
On a closely related subject, my Uber car today was a Tesla. It rode really rough, there seemed to be no suspension or shocks. It was grey, had a glass ceiling, no other bells or whistles...just a really rough ride.

Since MUSK votes in Texas for Repukes, he should full-throatedly subscribe and submit to "Texas law as laid out by Paxton's opinion and Abbott's directive," - NO?!1

The official reason given: "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."

Texas resumes investigations into parents of trans children, families lawyers confirm
Lawyers representing families under investigation said they heard from the agency Thursday about continuing the investigations that had previously been halted by a statewide injunction.
. These cases began in February, after Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a nonbinding legal opinion that equated certain medical treatments and procedures for transgender teens with child abuse. Gov. Greg Abbott, citing that opinion, then sent a letter to DFPS directing the agency to investigate parents who provided gender-affirming care to their transgender children.
In a statement responding to the order in February, DFPS said it would follow Texas law as laid out in Paxtons opinion, n accordance with Governor Abbotts directive. The agency proceeded to open at least nine investigations into parents of transgender children.

(1,962 posts)Elon Muskrat is either a hardcore transphobic bigot, or desperate to be some edgy edgelord on social media. Whatever it is, he has a long and ugly history of nasty comments about trans people, pronouns, choices of name, etc.. This was going on quite some time before he decided he is tired of "woke" and "cancel" and has aligned himself with the QOP...
...assuming he hasn't been with the QOP all along.
No matter the motives behind Muskrat's social media garbage, this has had be unbelievably painful for this young lady. Either your so-called dad cares so little that he doesn't care how hurtful his "jokes" and "memes" are to his own daughter... or he flat-out despises her. Comparing the hurt caused by her own father is like the difference between being punched with a fist, or struck with a shovel. Both leaves bruises and wounds.
She deserves all the happiness in the world. She deserves all the best, especially in this awful year. And there's no doubt in my mind that separating herself from her toxic father is a significant step toward happiness and peace.
I'm so sorry for anyone who doesn't fit into sexual or gender norms who has to endure a "parent" like "The Player of Games".
