As reported by Independent.co.uk, Elon Musk’s daughter from his first marriage has filed a petition to change her name. In her filing, she has reportedly said she does not “wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.” In it, she also asked for a reflection of her new gender identity on the documents (according to court documents available online through PlainSite.org.)
The daughter, who recently turned 18, identifies as a transwoman and had filed a request to change her name following her new gender identity at the Los Angeles County superior court in Santa Monica in April.
