I'm not sure - I was agreeing with the use of "Marissa" over the forms that include her surname (Meyer, Ms. Meyer, Marissa Meyer).

Elon Musk is frequently called Elon. I guess it's disempowering to, according to your logic.

Or maybe it's just because saying "Elon" or "Marissa" is enough to know whom we're talking about
