Elon Musk's growing family tree

Elon Musk's journey into fatherhood began with Canadian author Justine Wilson. Together, they had six children: their first son, Nevada Alexander, who tragically passed away at 10 weeks old; twins Griffin and Vivian, now 20; and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, currently 19.

In 2020, Musk's relationship with musician Grimes led to the birth of their son, X AE A-XII, affectionately known as "X," now 4 years old. The couple also welcomed a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, nicknamed "Y," who is 3, and another son, Techno Mechanicus, referred to as "Tau," now 2. Musk's professional collaboration with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his company Neuralink, evolved into a personal relationship, resulting in the birth of their four children: twins Strider and Azure, both 3; daughter Arcadia, 1; and the newest addition, Seldon Lycurgus.

Recent developments and legal matters

Beyond his relationships with Wilson, Grimes, and Zilis, Musk's personal life has recently been in the spotlight due to a paternity claim by conservative activist and author Ashley St. Clair. She alleges that Musk is the father of her 5-month-old son, R.S.C., and has filed a paternity lawsuit seeking sole custody. A judge has ordered Musk to appear in court regarding this matter.

Despite the complexities of his personal life, Musk continues to focus on his professional endeavors, including advancements in space exploration, electric vehicles, and neural technology. His recent family developments have sparked public interest, reflecting the challenges and intricacies of balancing a high-profile career with a large and diverse family.
