Who is Elon Musk’s teen transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson? The 18-year-old twin is changing her name and gender – and does not ‘wish to be related to’ her billionaire father
- Formerly Xavier Alexander Musk, Vivian once attended Astra Nova School – the private school Elon founded for his and SpaceX employees’ kids – with her twin brother Griffin
- The Tesla CEO has tweeted his support of the LGBT community – though not their pronouns – but raised eyebrows for siding with controversial Republican Ron DeSantis
The most recent family news from the famous billionaire has stirred the internet once again: his daughter has filed a request to change her name, reportedly to Vivian Jenna Wilson, in accordance with her new gender. She’s also asked for a new birth certificate.
Her new name is believed to be Vivian Jenna Wilson
The formerly named Xavier Alexander Musk has filed for the legal change as she recently turned 18 years old – the age of consent in California. Her name was redacted in the online court document, but it’s been revealed that her new name is Vivian Jenna Wilson. Besides changing her given names, she’s also dropping her father’s family name in favour of her mother Justine’s maiden name.
She filed for the name and gender change back in April, per Entertainment Tonight, and her court hearing is slated for this week in front of a judge.
She doesn’t ‘wish to be related’ to her biological father
In her petition, she said she wants to drop her famous dad’s family name because she wants nothing to do with him. She wrote, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”
This contrasts quite a bit with Musk’s recent Father’s Day tweet where he wrote, “I love all my kids so much.”
After the news broke, many expressed their confusion on Twitter. One user wrote, “People need to pay attention to this. The fact that this person does not want to be affiliated with their billionaire dad should tell his fans all they need to know about Elon Musk.”
