Elon Musk’s transgender daughter has asked to change her name legally because she no longer wants to “live with or be related to my biological father in any way.”
The request for both a name change and a new birth certificate that reflects her new gender identity was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica.
Former Xavier Alexander Musk, who recently turned 18 in the age of consent in California, has asked the court to change his gender recognition from male to female and to register his new name, according to documents available online at PlainSite.org.
His new name was written in the online document. His mother is Justine Wilson, who divorced Musk in 2008.
There was no further explanation for the split between Musk’s daughter and her father, the head of Tesla, and SpaceX, which is trying to take control of the social media platform Twitter for $ 44 billion (£ 35.8 billion). .
Neither a lawyer representing Musk nor Tesla’s media office responded to the report.
Earlier this year, Musk declared his support for the U.S. Republican Party, whose elected representatives support a series of laws that would limit transgender rights in states across the country.
