Elon Musk’s 18-year-old son, Xavier, has taken a bold step to redefine their identity and distance themselves from their famous father. In a significant move, Xavier has filed legal documents requesting a change of both their gender and name, affirming their identity as a woman. The decision reflects a deeply personal journey and a desire to establish independence from their biological father.
Xavier, who is now transitioning to live as a woman, cited their desire to no longer be associated with Elon Musk in any form. The legal filing, submitted shortly after their 18th birthday, marks a decisive step in their pursuit of autonomy. “I no longer wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form,” Xavier stated, underscoring the depth of their feelings.
This development has garnered widespread public attention, sparking conversations about identity, family dynamics, and the challenges of living in the shadow of a high-profile figure. For Xavier, the decision is not just about a name or gender marker but about asserting control over their own life and narrative. While Elon Musk has yet to publicly comment on the matter, the situation highlights the complexities of family relationships, especially under the scrutiny of fame and public opinion.
