Xavier Musk: Who is Elon Musk’s transgender child, now Vivian Jenna Wilson

From now on the transgender teenager - one of Musk’s seven children and five with his first wife Justine Wilson - will go by the name of Vivian Jenna Wilson because she “no longer live[s] with or wish[es] to be related to [her] biological father in any way, shape or form”, according to newly-seen documents filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court.
