Elon Musk is a father of eight children – or maybe not any longer.
Reports have emerged that one of the Tesla Motors CEO’s offspring has filed legal documents to change her gender identity and full name, with one of the reasons listed as the fact she wants nothing to do with him.
Per TMZ, who claim to have seen the documents filed in Los Angeles County, the documents say she wants to make the legal change due to “gender identity” as well as “the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”

The documents were filed by the adult who is almost formerly known as Xavier Musk, who is a twin to Griffin Musk, the second and third children of Musk’s brood of eight.
After turning 18 in April, she now wants to be known as Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Neither Wilson nor Musk have commented publicly about her transition nor their relationship, though on the American Father’s Day over the weekend, the 50-year-old business magnate tweeted, “Happy Father’s Day” followed by the message, “I love all my kids so much.”

Previous tweets from Musk have also been unearthed, one of which he wrote and published in July 2020 and said, “Pronouns suck.”
In December 2020, he tweeted, “I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an [aesthetic] nightmare.”
Wilson’s proposed new surname comes from her mother, Canadian author and Musk’s first wife Justine Wilson.

Musk and his first wife were married from 2000 to 2008, and had five children – son Nevada Alexander Musk, who was born in 2002 but died of sudden infant death syndrome at 10 weeks old, as well as 18-year-old twins Griffin Musk and (potentially) Vivian Jenna Wilson, and 16-year-old triplet sons Damian, Saxon and Kai Musk.
Musk also shares two children with singer Grimes, son X Æ A-Xii Musk, who was born in May 2020, and daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, who was born in December 2021.
Musk was also married twice to actress Talulah Riley from 2010 to 2012 and again from 2013 to 2016, though they do not share any children.
The hearing that will determine the approval status of Wilson’s name change is scheduled for Friday Los Angeles time.
