One of Elon Musk’s children has reportedly filed a petition to change their full name and gender identity, stating they want to distance themselves from their father. Screenshots of the legal docs have surfaced on social media, which TMZ verified, revealing how 18-year-old Xavier Musk, has made the request to change quite literally everything about herself.
“Gender identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” Xavier reportedly said in his legal docs. On top of that, she asked to have their name changed to Vivian Jenna Wilson, taking their mother’s last name, and that “she wants to be recognized as female” moving forward.

Though the petition has just now come to light, it was actually filed back in April, shortly after Vivian had turned 18, as noted by Yahoo! Entertainment. In total, the Tesla tech mogul has seven children, which include Griffin, Vivian, Kai, Saxon, Damian, X AE A-XI, and Exa Dark Sideræl from his previous relationship with Grimes.
It was just in late 2020 when the 50-year-old came under fire for seemingly mocking pronouns and referring to them as an “aesthetic nightmare.” After coming across an article thread titled “Real friends interrupt you when you are making a mistake.” Elon was actually mentioned in the thread due to his annoyance at people listing their pronouns in social media profiles, which he apparently didn’t seem to agree with.
“I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic [sic] nightmare,” the South African fired back. Some were quick to chime in, saying Elon was being hypocritical considering he and his then-girlfriend Grimes had chosen to name their son X AE A-XII, which is believed to be pronounced as X Ash A 12.
well, xavier musk is yet to state why he is dropping elon musk’s name and why he is transitioning from the male gender to the female gender. a lot on elon musk’s hands right now.

The original spelling was reportedly not appropriate to be registered on the birth certificate in the state of California, with Elon later telling fans they changed it to Roman numerals as it tended to “look better.”
“You named your child x æ a-12 and you want to call PRONOUNS an aesthetic nightmare????” one person wrote in response to the richest person alive. “Named his child X Æ A-12 but thinks calling someone they/them is a hassle,” another continued. “Elon musk named his baby X Æ A-12 but people having pronouns is where he draws the line.”
