Elon's child wants to cut ties
Elon Musk's daughter from his previous marriage has submitted a petition to change her name, claiming that she does not wish to be related to her biological father in any way and wants the paperwork to reflect her new gender identity.
She was born Xavier Alexander Musk, the son of business magnate Elon Musk and his first wife Justine Wilson, and in the year 2008, the couple divorced.

Daughter doesn't want relationship with billionaire dad
According to Reuters, the petition stated that she no longer lives with the billionaire and does not want to be associated with him. The agency pointed out that her new name was redacted on the online document.
According to a TMZ article, she wants her name to be Vivian Jenna Wilson, which is her mother's maiden name and corresponds to her gender identification.
Mr Musk has previously described having preferred pronouns as an aesthetic disaster and tweeted in 2020 that he supports trans people but not pronouns. He also added that pronouns suck, according to him.

Meanwhile, Briefly News reported that Elon Musk’s head isn’t in the clouds. No, his dreams reach far beyond the stars that shine above us, to the uninhabitable planets in our solar system.
The 50-year-old surpassed Jeff Bezos as the richest man on the planet, but his aspirations were never financially motivated and the lack of luxury seen in his lifestyle proves it.
As of 24 April, Elon Musk is worth a staggering $269.7 billion, according to Forbes’ real-time billionaires rankings. This amounts to more than R4 trillion, which is enough money to sustain the whole of South Africa for two years while still being considered rich.
