Elon Musk’s child Vivian Jenna Wilson recently filed a petition to change her name officially. This comes after she claimed that she did not want to be related to the founder of SpaceX. It was reported that she filed a petition immediately after turning 18 back in April.
Vivian also has a twin named Griffin. She wishes her former name, Xavier Alexander Musk, to be changed to Vivian Jenna Wilson. She took her mother and Elon Musk’s ex-wife, Justine Wilson’s last name. The official reason behind the change in name read:
“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.”
The legal document also confirmed that Vivian Jenna Wilson petitioned for her legal documents to identify her as female.

He said we’d met at a party I knew I hadn’t been to. (Years later, he would confess that he had noticed me from across the common room and decided he wanted to meet me.)”
