"Elon Musk’s 13 Children: Their Unique Names and Mothers Revealed"
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has fathered 13 children with four different women over the years. His journey as a father has been marked by both joy and heartbreak, with relationships spanning from his first wife to current and past partners. Here’s a look at Musk’s children and family life.
1. Nevada Alexander Musk
Elon Musk married Canadian author Justine Wilson in January 2000, and in 2002, they welcomed their first child, Nevada Alexander Musk. Tragically, Nevada passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at just 10 weeks old.
2. Griffin and Vivian Musk
After Nevada’s death, Musk and Wilson turned to IVF and, in April 2004, they welcomed twins Griffin and Vivian Musk, now 20 years old. The couple later expanded their family with triplets, keeping a relatively low profile.
3. Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk
In 2006, the couple used IVF once again and welcomed triplets: Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk. The three children, now 19, live their lives mostly out of the public eye. Musk and Wilson divorced in 2008.
4. X AE A-XII Musk
Musk began dating Canadian musician Grimes in 2018. Their first child, a son named X AE A-XII, was born in May 2020. Due to California naming laws, his name was later modified, and he is commonly referred to as “X.” Musk and Grimes separated in September 2021, leading to a high-profile custody battle.
5. Exa Dark Sideræl Musk
In December 2021, Musk and Grimes welcomed their second child, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, also known as “Y” or “Why.” Exa, now three years old, was born via surrogacy.
6. Strider and Azure Musk
In November 2021, Musk had twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain-machine company, Neuralink. The twins, Strider and Azure Musk, are now two years old. Their names were made public in September 2023 after a Texas court approved a name change to include both parents' surnames.
7. Techno Mechanicus Musk
In June 2022, Musk and Grimes had another child, a son named Techno Mechanicus Musk, who goes by the nickname “Tau.” Not much is known about Tau, as details about his life have been kept private.
8. Two Unknown Children
Musk confirmed the birth of his 12th child in early 2024, but the name and gender have not been disclosed. Additionally, in late 2024, author Ashley St. Clair revealed that she and Musk had welcomed a child together, bringing Musk’s total number of children to 13.
Who Is Elon Musk’s Current Partner?
As of now, Musk is not publicly known to be in a current relationship. His most recent high-profile partnership was with Grimes, with whom he shares three children. The billionaire’s personal life continues to be a subject of intrigue as he remains one of the most talked-about figures in the tech and space industries.
