Elon Musk's transgender daughter has filed a request in the Los Angeles County Superior Court to have her name legally changed.

 

In documents shared online, the 18-year-old says she wants to change her name in accordance with her gender identity and because she no longer wants to be related to her biological father.

...

Legal documents published online show she has formally asked the court to change her gender from male to female and to register her new name (which was redacted in the version of the documents shared online).

Musk says 3 issues -- fake accounts, debt financing & shareholder approval -- must be resolved before his Twitter buyout can proceed

Elon Musk says there are three main hurdles to overcome before he can complete his purchase of Twitter.

 

Musk is seeking to buy Twitter for $44 billion, a mega acquisition with huge implications for the social media world — not least given the Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s contentious stance on content moderation and freedom of speech.

 

But the fate of the deal has become more uncertain in recent weeks after Musk threatened to walk away, citing concerns over the number of fake accounts on the platform. The billionaire could face a $1 billion breakup fee and possibly even lawsuits if he were to abandon the deal.

Yeah, right…you knew there were fake accounts when you made your takeover bid and when you made said bid you waived your rights to due diligence on them. 
 

Now put up or shut up…
 

“Musk waived due diligence when he agreed to buy Twitter at $54.20 per share in April.”
