I'm not sure what the opposite of deadnaming is, or what the etiquette around it should be, but apparently Elon's child goes by the name Vivian Jenna Wilson now and according to their Facebook profile had a business contract sponsored by Musk family on April 12th of this year and celebrated their birthday with their family a few days after.
It could all be an elaborate troll account and misinformation or it could be a complex family situation not understood outside of their dynamics.
But Elon certainly seemed sincere during the interview about how he felt about the 'Woke mind virus' killing his son.
This whole pronoun shit has made people completely forget (or just refuse to learn after the fact) how proper grammar has worked for centuries.
In addition to the once common usage of expressing unfamiliarity with someone, They/Their has pretty much always been used to refer to someone of unknown sex (the most frequent pop culture references I can think of are mystery novels where the perpetrator is being described without giving clues to who it is).
But there's a big group of uneducated insisting on some form of pronoun purity just to spite the woke, and don't seem to realise they have allowed 'them' to subvert our language even further.
It is a little bit off for someone to insist upon anyone using any term to refer to anyone and expect it to be casually accepted as perfectly normal behaviour.
Those in my close group of friends will use all sorts of insulting words and phrases as terms of endearment when referencing each other. An outsider might think we are being aggressive to each other but that's simply because they aren't in the group. I would onto refer to a friend as a vulgar term to a stranger if I thought that stranger was close enough within the group to understand it and know it meant they are welcome to that language.
Perfectly normal behaviour of group identity which goes back as far as there have been records :)

“His”. The possessive pronoun you’re looking for is “his.”
I've always used their when talking about a stranger. I have no possession over them and so don't intend to be rude with how they feel.
If you want to be a pronoun stickler then that is your business.
Uh-oh, I don't know your pronoun and so you best tell it to me so that I can use it when I'm shoving it up your ass.
See how that works sweetie; shalom alaykum namaste amen.
