Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s 18-year-old child has been granted both a gender and name change making her officially Vivian Jenna Wilson from Xavier Alexander Musk according to court documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday 23 June.

ELON MUSK’S CHILD GRANTED GENDER AND NAME CHANGE

TMZ reports that a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge approved Elon Musk’s child’s gender and name change. She was formerly known as Xavier Alexander Musk and now goes as Vivian Jenna Wilson. This means she dropped Elon’s surname Musk and took on her mom Justine’s maiden surname – Wilson.

The publication reports that the judge asked for a new birth certificate to be issued by the state to reflect the changes. The petition was filed back in April, shortly after her 18th birthday. 

TMZ also reports that Vivian listed the reason for her name change as “gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father [Elon] in any way, shape or form.”

WHY THE BILLIONAIRE CAME UNDER FIRE BY THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY

Musk previously claimed to support transgender individuals but he came under fire in 2020 for critising preferred pronouns. 

“I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare,” he tweeted at the time.

“Pronouns suck,” he added.

Vivian’s mom on the other hand expressed that she was proud of her child. 

“I’m very proud of you,” she quoted herself saying to her child.

Musk and Justine have five children together, Vivian’s twin brother Griffin, triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai. The pair also had a son together in 2002, but he lost his life to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks old. The billionaire also has two children with Canadian musician Grimes affectionately known as Baby X and Baby Y because of their “complicated” names.
