Summary
Elon Musk’s daughter is taking matters into her own hands. After turning 18 in April, she filed a petition to change her name in a move to support her new gender identity. But the request is also a pretty big dig at her billionaire dad -- she claims dropping the Musk name will help her get distance from the Tesla CEO. And while there may be many reasons she wants to disconnect from dad, we wonder... Do Elon's past problematic comments about the trans community have anything to do with it?
