Xavier turned 18 in April & filed the documents at LA County. She now wants to be called Vivian Jenna Wilson. She lists her reason for the name change as "gender identity & the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father.. in any way..."

Vivian's mother is Canadian author Justine Wilson—who was married to Musk from 2000 to 2008. She also has a twin brother, Griffin. According to a TMZ report, the hearing on her name change is scheduled for Friday.

However, there are no details are available about the rift between Musk and Vivian, and never have the two spoken publicly about her transition or their relationship.

Interestingly, in May, just a few weeks after his daughter filed the petition, Musk declared his support for the Republican Party that favors a number of legislations that seek to limit transgender rights in states across the US.

Meanwhile, Tesla has laid off the president of its LGBTQ+ community & a lead involved in the diversity & inclusivity programs. The development comes amid several comments that Musk made concerning what he describes as the "woke mind virus," which is "destroying civilization."
