Justine Musk, Elon's ex-wife and the mother of his five oldest kids, said she was 'proud' of their 18-year-old
Elon Musk's ex-wife Justine says she is 'very proud' of their 18-year-old for filing paperwork to change their name and gender from Xavier Musk to Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Musk and Justine were married from 2000 until 2008 and share five kids, including 18-year-old Vivian.
On April 18, Xavier filed paperwork in Santa Monica saying: 'I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.'
She ticked 'female' when asked what her preferred gender is.
Musk has not yet commented on the paperwork. In a tweet on Monday night, Justine said: "I had a weird childhood," my 18 year old said to me.
"I can't believe I'm as normal-seeming as I am." 'I said, "I'm very proud of you." "I'm proud of myself!"'
Justine's tweet comes as controversial past remarks by Elon about transgender issues resurfaced in light of the announcement.
The billionaire has previously poked fun at the pregnant man emoji, and he said: 'Pronouns suck.'
Vivian filed the paperwork three days after her 18th birthday, but it only became public on Monday, the day after Fathers Day. Neither she nor her twin brother Griffin have been seen publicly recently.

Musk was married to Vivian's mother, Canadian author Justine Wilson, from 2000 until 2008. Their first son, Nevada, was born in 2002 and died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks. The pair went on to have twin sons - Xavier and Griffin - and triplet boys: Damian, Kai and Saxon, now 16.
The five teenagers have kept a fairly low profile, despite their father having joint custody. Musk also two other children, X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl, who goes by Y, with Canadian singer Grimes.
It is unclear what is behind Xavier's rejected of their father, in such a public way. Musk has yet to comment, and it is unclear if he was aware of Xavier's plan prior to the court documents being filed.

Musk has been vocal on various transgender issues and last year he complained about people using their own pronouns. He also said he was a fan of Florida governor Ron DeSantis who has been condemned by the LGBTQ community for his bill preventing discussion of gender identity and homosexuality in classrooms for children in kindergarten through third grade.
Musk last week called out 'virtual signaling' critics who panned a new Ricky Gervais stand-up comedy special after the show was slammed for being 'transphobic'.
The stand-up special on Netflix, 'Supernature', was also criticized for Gervais's jokes about racism, identity politics and Hitler.
Still, many who watched Gervais' show tweeted about how much they enjoyed it, and on Sunday, The Atlantic staff writer Conor Friedersdorf tweeted a screenshot from movie rating site Rotten Tomatoes showing that 92
