Elon Musk <\/strong><\/a>is one of the most famous entrepreneurs living today. The billionaire has led many companies throughout his career, including PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX, as well as being an entertaining and controversial celebrity. Outside of stirring up controversy, Elon has also fathered twelve children from multiple relationships. It was revealed that he became a dad for the twelfth time in June 2024.<\/p>\n While 12 children may seem like a lot, Elon suggested that he may have more kids during an October 2022 interview with the Financial Times<\/em><\/a>. He called himself an \u201cautumn chicken,\u201d but said that he found it a \u201cbit weird,\u201d when his friends suggested he have hundreds of kids. Even though he seemed open to the idea in the new interview, he did say that he doesn\u2019t expect any more little ones in the near future. \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure there are no other babies looming,\u201d he told the outlet.<\/p>\n Sadly, his first son Nevada Alexander,\u00a0<\/strong>whom he had with his first wife, Justine Wilson<\/strong>, passed away in 2002.\u00a0Elon\u2019s ex-girlfriend Grimes<\/a> <\/strong>revealed that she\u2019d had their second child<\/a> (and Elon\u2019s most recent kid), who goes by\u00a0Y,<\/strong> in secret during the COVID-19 pandemic. Elon surprised the world in 2022 when he revealed he welcomed his ninth and tenth kids \u2014 twins \u2014 in secret with Neuralink director of operations Shivon Zilis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Last year, Grimes and Elon made headlines after she reportedly sued him for paternal rights over their children, as reported by NBC News<\/a>on October 3, 2023. According to the court docket obtained by the outlet, the songstress filed the lawsuit on September 29, 2023 to \u201cestablish a parental relationship\u201d in San Francisco. The outlet noted that the official court docs were not available, however,\u00a0 an \u201calternative dispute resolution\u201d method was reached that same day. The following year, Grimes and Elon came to an agreement in their custody battle.<\/p>\n Keep reading to learn more about Elon\u2019s kids.<\/p>\n Elona and Justine welcomed their first child together in 2002: son Nevada Alexander. At just 10 weeks old, the baby sadly passed away from sudden infant death syndrome, per The Sun<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Following Nevada\u2019s death in 2002, Elon and Justine had a pair of twins in April 2004: Xavier\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Griffin<\/strong>. Justine revealed that her five children were born conceived via IVF in a 2017 TedTalk<\/a>. While very little is known about the twins, their mom revealed that she\u2019d visited an IVF clinic shortly after Nevada\u2019s death in an essay for\u00a0Marie Claire<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>in 2010. \u201d I buried my feelings instead, coping with Nevada\u2019s death by making my first visit to an IVF clinic less than two months later. Elon and I planned to get pregnant again as swiftly as possible. Within the next five years, I gave birth to twins, then triplets, and I sold three novels to Penguin and Simon & Schuster,\u201d the author wrote.<\/p>\n On April 18, 2022 \u2014 one day after their 18th birthday \u2014 Xavier filed to change their name<\/a> to Vivian Jenna Wilson<\/strong> to reflect their new gender identity as a female. The documents, obtained by Hollywood Life<\/strong> in June, state that Vivian wishes the legal change because of \u201cGender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.\u201d She has yet to publicly clarified why she does not want to be related to Elon.<\/p>\n The tech guru<\/a> found himself in some hot water after he liked a comment by a right-wing account that targeted the trans community in December 2022, according to The Independent<\/em><\/a>. Many followers considered it a bad look on many levels for the owner, none more than the fact that he is the father of a trans daughter.<\/a><\/p>\n After the twins, Justine gave birth to triplets (again via IVF) in 2006:\u00a0Kai, Saxon,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Damian<\/strong>. Like their brothers, very little is known about the triplets, although their dad did respond to a Twitter video<\/a> in February, when someone shared a video of Damian playing piano for the elderly. The original user had mistakenly said that it was Saxon, but Elon pointed out that it was Damian. Justine and Elon divorced in 2008. The Tesla founder detailed some aspects of his relationship with the kids in a\u00a0Business Insider<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>op-ed in 2010. \u201cCustody of our five children is split evenly. Almost all of my non-work waking hours are spent with my boys, and they are the love of my life,\u201d he wrote at the time. After the divorce from Justine, Elon married and divorced actress\u00a0Talulah Riley <\/strong><\/a>twice. Their first marriage lasted from 2010 to 2012, and the second marriage<\/a> was from 2013 to 2016.<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/gcSXLMwsua<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 25, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Elon\u2019s most well-known child was born with his on-and-off girlfriend\u00a0Grimes (whose real name is\u00a0Claire Boucher<\/strong><\/a>) in 2020. The singer gave birth<\/a> to their son\u00a0X \u00c6 A-Xii<\/strong> (X AE A-XII<\/strong>) on May 4 (Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>day!) of that year. The baby\u2019s curious name immediately prompted questions about how to pronounce<\/a> it. He revealed that it\u2019s pronounced \u201cX Ash A Twelve\u201d in an episode of\u00a0The Joe Rogan Experience<\/em><\/a>. He told the comedian that he offered the \u201cA-Xii\u201d portion of his child\u2019s name as a reference to the \u201cArchangel 12\u201d CIA program, which created the airplane the SR-71.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc09\ud83e\udd0d pic.twitter.com\/qmOA5GjbSQ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 \ud835\udda6\ud835\uddcb\ud835\uddc2\ud835\uddc6\ud835\uddbe\ud835\uddcc \u23f3 (@Grimezsz) May 24, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Grimes surprised the world on March 10, 2022 when she announced in an April Vanity Fair<\/a> <\/em>cover story interview that she and Elon secretly welcomed another child into the world via surrogate on Dec. 2021. They named the child, a girl, Exa Dark Sider\u00e6l Musk<\/strong>, and noted she goes by \u201cY,\u201d opposite their son\u2019s \u201cX.\u201d<\/p>\n Grimes further opened up about the meaning of their daughter\u2019s name in the interview<\/a>, noting that \u201cExa\u201d refers to the term \u201cexaFLOPS\u201d which is the \u201cability to perform 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second.\u201d She also shared that the baby\u2019s middle name, Dark, is in reference to the unknown. \u201cPeople fear it but truly it\u2019s the absence of photons,\u201d Grimes explained. \u201cDark matter is the beautiful mystery of our universe.\u201d The singer also confirmed the pronunciation of \u201cSider\u00e6l\u201d \u2014 sigh-deer-ee-el \u2014 and said that it\u2019s meant to be a \u201cmore elven\u201d way to spell \u201csidereal,\u201d the \u201ctrue time of the universe, star time, deep space time, not our relative Earth time.\u201d Despite opening up a bit about her family, though, Grimes made it clear that she mostly plans to keep her kids out of the public eye. \u201cI\u2019m not at liberty to speak on these things,\u201d she admitted. \u201cWhatever is going on with family stuff, I just feel like the kids need to stay out of it, and X is just out there.\u201d<\/p>\n The baby news was shocking to many since most understood the Canadian-born singer and Elon to be broken up at the time<\/a>. Grimes opened up about their status in the interview, saying she would \u201cprobably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we\u2019re very fluid.\u201d She continued, \u201cWe live in separate houses. We\u2019re best friends. We see each other all the time. We just have our own thing going on. I don\u2019t expect other people to understand it.\u201d She also revealed that the two plan on \u201cat least three or four\u201d more children together, although she did not reveal why they used a surrogate for their second child and if they planned on surrogacy for the future.<\/p>\n Elon Musk became a dad once again to twins with Neuralink director of operations and special projects Shivon Zilis<\/strong>.<\/a> Zilis gave birth in November 2021, per court documents \u2014 and Elon himself confirmed the news on July 7, 2022.<\/p>\n He thanked\u00a0Page Six<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>for their congratulations on the babies, and said,\u00a0\u201cBravo to big families.\u201d It doesn\u2019t seem like the Tesla founder is done with having kids just yet \u2014 when asked how many he wants, he said,\u00a0\u201cAs many as I am able to spend time with and be a good father.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy eldest are off to college, and teenagers don\u2019t want to spend much time with their parents. I wish they would,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Per the court documents, a name change was filed for the twins to \u201chave their father\u2019s last name and contain their mother\u2019s last name as part of their middle name.\u201d The change was approved in Austin, Texas by a judge in May 2022. Their names were later revealed to be\u00a0Strider\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Azure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Elon secretly welcomed a third child with Grimes, which was revealed in a September 2023 biography about Elon by Walter Isaacson<\/strong>. Grimes and Elon had a son named Techno Mechanicus<\/strong> or \u201cTau,\u201d however, it\u2019s not clear when they welcomed their second son. In July 2023, Grimes took to X (Twitter) to clap back at a photo of Shivon with the twins, as reported by\u00a0Jezebel<\/a>. <\/em>\u201cTell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer,\u201d the mother-of-three wrote. \u201cI have never been allowed to see a photo of these children until this moment, despite the situation utterly ripping my family apart.\u201d<\/p>\n Later, Grimes deleted the reply and shared an update<\/a> regarding her kids on September 10, 2023. \u201cI wish I could show u how cute little Techno is but my priority rn is keeping my babies out of the public eye, Plz respect that at this time Bless C,\u201d she captioned the apology for her prior comments on the twins. Neither Elon or Grimes has addressed the latest lawsuit at the time of publication.<\/p>\n While many details about Elon\u2019s 12th child are still under wraps, it\u2019s been confirmed that he welcomed the baby with Shivon. When it was reported that he had fathered the child in \u201csecret,\u201d he responded to the claims in an interview with\u00a0Page Six<\/em><\/a>. \u201cAll our friends and family know. Failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre, does not mean \u2018secret,’\u201d he told the outlet.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\nNevada Alexander<\/h2>\n
