Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, has joined his ex-partner Grimes in expressing support for their estranged 10-year-old daughter’s gender identity. In a statement released through his lawyer, Musk said he wants to ‘do what’s right’ for his child, who is currently transitioning from male to female. The news comes after Grimes announced on social media that her child had begun hormone replacement therapy and was now going by the name Elliot. Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, wrote on Instagram that she wanted to celebrate her daughter’s ‘brave’ decision to live as a girl. Elon Musk has not publicly spoken about his gender identity since his split from Grimes in 2021, but it seems he has now come out as an ally for the transgender community. The news is a significant development in the ongoing debate over trans rights and identity, with some arguing that parents should have the right to decide their child’s gender without medical intervention. However, advocates for trans youth argue that allowing children to self-identify and transition without parental consent is essential for their mental health and well-being.
