Goodbye Xavier Alexander Musk, hello Vivian Wilson

An LA County Superior Judge reportedly signed off the on the name change for Vivian Jenna Wilson, according to court documents obtained by TMZ on Thursday. Wilson is Vivian’s mother, Justine Wilson’s, maiden name.
The judge also granted a gender change. Vivian identifies as female and her birth certificate is reportedly being re-issued by the state register.

Vivian was formerly known as Xavier Alexander Musk and is the daughter of the business tycoon and his first wife, Justine Wilson. The couple separated in 2008.
Wilson earlier said she was “very proud” of their child’s plans to cut ties with her billionaire dad.
In 2o2o, Musk tweeted his support for the transgender community, but added that “all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare”.
"I had a weird childhood," my 18 year old said to me. "I can't believe I'm as normal-seeming as I am."
I said, "I'm very proud of you."
"I'm proud of myself!"
