An 18-year-old individual, previously known as Xavier Alexander Musk, submitted legal documents in California on April 18 to formally change her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, as reported by TMZ. In her petition, she articulated her reasons: “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form.”
Vivian’s mother is Justine Wilson, the former spouse of Elon Musk, from whom she divorced in 2008. They have twins, Xavier (now Vivian) and Griffin, along with triplets Damian, Kai, and Saxon, who are currently 16 years old. The twins were born in 2004, two years following the heartbreaking loss of their first son, Nevada Alexander Musk, who passed away at 10 weeks of age.
Justine Wilson engaged in a brief conversation with her child on Twitter, during which Vivian reportedly remarked, “I had a weird childhood. I can’t believe I’m as normal-seeming as I am.” Justine responded with, “I’m very proud of you,” to which Vivian replied, “I’m proud of myself!”
Elon Musk’s youngest son provided a charming response regarding his father’s prospective roles.
The four-year-old, known as X Æ A-12 or simply ‘X’, conveyed a clear message to his father about what he should focus on as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency under President-elect Donald Trump.
In a video shared by Musk, who is 53 and has a total of 12 children, he asked his son, “What should I do?” to which X replied, “Save America.” When Musk prompted further with “And?”, X succinctly responded, “Help Trump!” The billionaire captioned the post, “This kid has great instincts.”
This instance is not the first time Musk has highlighted his son, whom he shares with Canadian musician Grimes, as he often includes him in his professional endeavors.
On Thursday morning, Musk and X were seen arriving at the Capitol Building for a meeting with Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Dressed in a suit, Musk was photographed with X perched on his shoulders.
During this event, the four-year-old looked quite dapper in dress pants, a gray sweater, and a sports jacket, with his brown hair styled in a mohawk. The resemblance between father and son was striking as they entered the meeting together.
Afterward, X was observed holding his father’s hand tightly while navigating through a throng of reporters and photographers, clutching a small orange basketball in his other hand. In several images, the pair mirrored each other’s facial expressions, scrunching their faces in unison, while a proud Elon smiled affectionately at his son.
