WILL TAKE HIS MOTHER’S LAST NAME
Xavier, 18, will take his mother’s surname and change his name to ‘Vivian Jenna Wilson’ to distance himself from his father and sever official ties.
I DON’T WANT TO HAVE ANY CONNECTION OR RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER
“I no longer want to have any connection or relationship with my biological father,” Xavier said.
Xavier’s name change case will be decided in a California court on Friday.
HE HAS A TOTAL OF SEVEN CHILDREN
On the other hand, 50-year-old Musk has five children with his first wife, Canadian writer Wilson. The two have Xavier’s twin Griffin (18) and triplets named Kai, Saxon and Damian (16). Musk, who has been married three times, also has two children with singer Grimes.
