One of Elon Musks children has expressed a desire to change their name and sever ties to their billionaire father.
Musks child, who was formerly known as 18-year-old Xavier Alexander Musk, said in a Los Angeles County Superior Court filing they are also changing their gender identity from male to female, Reuters reports.
The April filing came one day after the teenager turned 18, reported the Los Angeles Times, which identified Musks child as Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Now that they are an adult, Wilson said they no longer want anything to do with their businessman dad, who heads Tesla, SpaceX and potentially Twitter.
I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form, Wilson said in the filing.
Musk has seven children, two with the musician Grimes and five with Wilsons mother, the writer Justine Wilson, the Times reported. He and Wilson also lost a 10-week-old son to sudden infant death syndrome, Yahoo reported.
Musk, a frequent Twitter user, has not publicly addressed Wilsons decision, though he did acknowledge Fathers Day on Sunday.

(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".

(16,834 posts)but that asshole probably wouldn't have left her anything anyway. He must be a truly awful person. I wish her the best and I hope she can cut ties with Musk effectively.
