Vivian is Elon’s transgender daughter and one of the six children he shares with his ex-wife and Canadian author, Justine Wilson.
She legally changed her name and gender at the Santa Monica courthouse in California on June 22, 2022, and adopted her mother’s last name to seemingly distance herself from her biological father.
The then-18-year-old revealed that she did not want any association with her father, according to a petition she filed on April 18, 2022, in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Earlier this year, the SpaceX CEO spoke about his 20-year-old child by misgendering her and showing his disapproval of gender-affirming care.
“I lost my son, essentially. They call it deadnaming for a reason,” he said in an interview with Dr. Jordan Peterson in July. “The reason it’s called deadnaming is because your son is dead. My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus.”
Vivian responded to her father’s claims during the interview by saying he crossed a line and described him as an unsupportive father.
