Elon Musk’s transgender daughter has filed to legally change her name, giving as the official reason, “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 petition for change of name, recognition of change of gender, and issuance of new birth certificate was signed April 18th, three days after she turned 18. A hearing is scheduled on Friday, June 25th.
Her chosen name is redacted on publicly-available documents, via Reuters. TMZ reports that according to the teen, her new name will be Vivian Jenna Wilson.
