With all the money in the world, Elon Musk–whose estimated net worth as of June 2022 is around $203 billion–could not afford him affection from his trans daughter who just legally changed her full name.
The Tesla CEO's child changed her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson after filing paperwork with the Los Angeles County court, according to TMZ.
In addition to dropping the infamous surname, the 18-year-old legally declared her gender identity to be recognized as female.
She cited the reason for filing the paperwork was not only to declare her gender identity but also because of:
“...the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.”

The media outlet noted:
"Neither Elon or Vivian has previously said anything publicly about their relationship or her transition."
Despite Musk's purported advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, the affluent business magnate had previously grumbled about preferred gender pronouns and mocked their usage on social media back in December 2020.
He tweeted:
"All these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare."

\u201c@cleantechnica I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare\u201d— CleanTechnica (@CleanTechnica) 1608136937
That same year, Musk appeared to take aim at nonbinary and trans people on Twitter by declaring on the platform that "pronouns suck."
At the time, Canadian musician Grimes–who with Musk had two children–pleaded with him to stop.
“I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a dall [sic]," she told him in a deleted tweet. " I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn’t your heart.”
The pair have since separated.
The specifics of Vivian's estrangement with her father are unclear.
But Twitter shared their hunches.
\u201c@USATODAY With the way he's such an asshole about trans people, can you blame her? I couldn't imagine being his child\u201d— USA TODAY (@USA TODAY) 1655823780
\u201c@JDCocchiarella No surprise. @elonmusk is now siding with the party threatening trans rights.\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1655769396
\u201c@JDCocchiarella @iggy_breathe That says it all. I\u2019d like to say that I stand with the LGBTQ community and I applaud her bravery. I know how hard it is to walk away from a parent.\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1655769396
\u201c@JDCocchiarella So one of his twin boys is transgender. Considering that her father is a right wing Republican so it is unsurprising that he hates her and will make her life hell so it is reasonable that she is severing ties. This is not done lightly and I wish her the best.\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1655769396
\u201c@JDCocchiarella My brother & sister both changed her last names after becoming an adults, when I get married we're not taking my last name or my girlfriends, we're making our own.\n\nAll I can say is that the decision to file paperwork for a name change always comes from a place of pain\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1655769396
\u201c@JDCocchiarella I love it when this happens...\ud83d\ude02 \nWishing all the best to her.\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1655769396
\u201c@skepticpatriot @JDCocchiarella being happy for a person who is taking measures to find a better and more loving environment for herself is important. no one is taking joy because she was hurt, people are joyful because she finally gets to live her life.\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1655769396
Jezebel’s Kylie Cheung believed Vivian's latest decision may have been prompted by Musk's planned buyout of Twitter "for the purpose of platforming the kind of far-right trolls who don’t believe his trans daughter should have a right to exist."
Cheung explored Musk's intentions with acquiring Twitter:
"Musk has frequently cited a reverence for 'free speech' as the reason for his interest in Twitter, despite the obvious reality that the 50-year-old’s latest obsession is very much rooted in some sort of sad mid-life crisis."
"But his promise to foster freer speech on the platform is more than a little concerning, nonetheless: To Very Online, libertarian provocateurs such as Musk, 'free speech' often refers to unchecked harassment of women, LGBTQ people, and people of color, and trolls debating their human rights to feel smart."
\u201c@JDCocchiarella drip, drip, drip....\nlittle by little, we're finding out why fake Iron Man tried to buy the birdie social media so that he can control the conversation whenever he perceives it as negative towards him, cuz..... Freedom of Speech.\u201d— Jack Cocchiarella (@Jack Cocchiarella) 1655769396
Cheung added Tesla was facing multiple lawsuits alleging the factory created a toxic workplace based on racist and sexist abuse, assault and discrimination “reminiscent of Jim Crow,” against their employees.
Vivian's hearing for her name change is set for Friday, according to TMZ.
