Drama in Parenting: Elon Musk's Controversial Name Choices

The world of celebrity parenting can be filled with drama and unexpected twists. Recently, tech mogul Elon Musk found himself in a situation that has caught the attention of social media users and fans alike. The naming of his children has sparked controversy, particularly concerning a name that was originally meant for his daughter with musician Grimes (real name Claire Boucher).

The Name Valkyrie: A Symbol of Conflict

According to sources familiar with the situation, Musk took the name "Valkyrie"—chosen by him and Grimes for their daughter—and bestowed it upon one of his twins with Shivon Zilis, a director at Neuralink. The decision reportedly left Boucher, also known for her artistic talents, feeling disrespected and hurt.

Musical Response to the Controversy

In light of the perceived betrayal, Boucher took to Twitter and penned a song in reaction to the naming incident. She expressed her emotions succinctly in a now-deleted tweet, stating, "A girl cursed with my daughter’s name will now carry her mother’s shame." This strong reaction indicates the depth of her feelings about the situation and how it has impacted her relationship with Musk.

As a result of the public drama, both women involved made the decision to change their daughters' names. Zilis reportedly altered the name of her daughter to something else to avoid further confusion and controversy.
