Elon Musk's child seeks name change to sever ties with father

Source: Reuters

June 20 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's transgender daughter has filed a request to change her name in accordance with her new gender identity and because "I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form."

The petition for both a name change and a new birth certificate reflecting her new gender identity was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica in April. It came to light recently in some online media reports.

The former Xavier Alexander Musk, who recently turned 18, the age of consent in California, has asked the court to change her gender recognition from male to female and to register her new name, according to court documents available online through PlainSite.org.

...In May, about a month after the name and gender change document was filed, Musk declared his support for the Republican Party, whose elected representatives support a raft of legislation that would limit transgender rights in states across the country.

She is avoiding any liability for the lawsuits coming his way. Erratic Elon will be penniless within 10 years.

If not, then she is a very courageous person to turn her back on all that money. May she be happy.

Elon Muskrat is either a hardcore transphobic bigot, or desperate to be some edgy edgelord on social media. Whatever it is, he has a long and ugly history of nasty comments about trans people, pronouns, choices of name, etc.. This was going on quite some time before he decided he is tired of "woke" and "cancel" and has aligned himself with the QOP...

...assuming he hasn't been with the QOP all along.

No matter the motives behind Muskrat's social media garbage, this has had be unbelievably painful for this young lady. Either your so-called dad cares so little that he doesn't care how hurtful his "jokes" and "memes" are to his own daughter... or he flat-out despises her. Comparing the hurt caused by her own father is like the difference between being punched with a fist, or struck with a shovel. Both leaves bruises and wounds.

She deserves all the happiness in the world. She deserves all the best, especially in this awful year. And there's no doubt in my mind that separating herself from her toxic father is a significant step toward happiness and peace.

I'm so sorry for anyone who doesn't fit into sexual or gender norms who has to endure a "parent" like "The Player of Games".

Musk has weighed in on the issue of transgender people choosing their preferred pronouns, tweeting in 2020, "I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare."



hopefully her & her mom have enuf $$ saved up from child support that she'll never be in the position of asking him for a penny

It is the law of nature to raise a child with the ability to fly free of the nest and survive and thrive. WAY TOO MANY see children as property.

Musk has a deeply troubled relationship with his own father, who appears to be every bit as narcissistic as he is. Sounds like the young adult is better off cutting off a toxic relationship. Don't know much about her Mom, but hopefully she has a healthier more supportive relationship.
