The interface of the website is quite simple with only one blank box to enter your name. Once you enter your name, press Generate, and you will have a new name in the style of Elon Musk.

Basically, this site will create a set of stylized alphabets and replace all the characters in your name. For example, if your name is Jack, the result will be J λ C-K, Melinda will be M ΞLι N-D4, Anatoliy will be A πλTΦ L-1Y. The idea is just that.
