Elon Musks transgender daughter has filed a request to change her name in accordance with her gender identity and because I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.
The petition for both a name change and a new birth certificate reflecting her gender identity was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica in April. It came to light recently in some online media reports.
Musk's daughter, who recently turned 18, the age of consent in California, has asked the court to change her gender recognition from male to female and to register her new name, according to court documents available online through PlainSite.org.
Her new name was redacted in the online document. Her mother is Justine Wilson, who divorced Musk in 2008.

(146,329 posts)Certainly not relevant to any of us. We don't know her at all. We don't even know much about her.
Basically, she's in the same boat anyone her age is in. She'll figure it out, just like we all did.

(33,023 posts)"Wilson later wrote an article for Marie Claire detailing ways in which she thought the marriage was unhealthy, e.g. Musk "made fun of her", asserted himself as the "alpha" in relationship as well as frequently pressuring her and ignoring or overriding her requests."
Educated guess a bigger dick in close contact and a crap human to his older kids.

(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".
