In another announcement regarding Elon Musk, recent reports have surfaced that the 53-year-old Tesla mastermind and richest individual sandcastle builder around the globe, may have expanded his complex brood. Speculations suggest that Musk, with an impressive net worth of $342.4 billion, has supposedly fathered 14 children through four separate relationships. To date, 13 children have been acknowledged, from three distinct partners, and rumors of a 14th with an additional woman are gaining traction. These claims, however, are awaiting Musk’s official confirmation.
Musk’s marriage to Justine Wilson, which spanned between 2000 and 2008, highlights the beginning of his intricate paternal puzzle. This chapter of his life manifests in six children from their combined genealogical equation: twins Griffin and Vivian, now 20, conceived via IVF in 2004, followed by triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, celebrating 19 years of life, born in 2006, also as a result of IVF.
A somber shade colors the early stories of Musk’s kin, with their first shared child, Nevada Alexander, facing a tragic end to his short journey of just 10 weeks following the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). An unfortunate yet essential milestone in the Musk-Wilson timeline, touching indirectly on the vulnerabilities that can lie within the societal narratives of wealth and fame.
Propelling Musk’s procreation pace further, we find three more descendants, the results of his intermittent relationship with artist and musician Grimes, spanning from an unstable 2018 to its final page in 2022. X Æ A-Xii enters the picture in 2020, expanding the Musk progeny, matching Grimes’ imaginative personality with his out-of-the-ordinary name.
The subsequent offspring, celebrated under the names Exa Dark Sideræl, born via surrogate in 2021, and an unconfirmed third child, presumably named Techno Mechanicus, also brought into the world with a surrogate, mark the completion of the Musk-Grimes family tree. Yet to be officiated, the birth dates for these characters remain a secret behind the often drama-filled veils of celebrity life.
Enhancing the surprising script of Elon Musk’s romance heroic or ludicrous – depending on the interpretations and biases – stand three more offsprings in the narrative, resulting from his relationship with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. The succession of events embraced the birth of twins Strider and Azure in 2021, born within a cosmic wink before Musk and Grimes celebrated the arrival of Exa Dark Sideræl, their second child.
Interestingly, within the myriad of life chapters and numerous tale threads, Musk and Zilis extended their story to include a third child, Arcadia, born in the early days of 2024. Moreover, rumors of a fourth addition to their interwoven lineage surfaced on February 28. A confirmation from Zilis enlightened the public about a new boy, graciously bearing the name of Seldon Lycurgus.
An additional layer of intrigue blankets the narrative, sparked by whispers of another musk-eteer, this time born of a relationship with author Ashley St Clair. However, this chapter is yet to be bestowed with Musk’s official seal. The suspense thickens, adding excitement and stimulating anticipation regarding the naming convention and the consequent implications.
The drama in the Musk family theatre continues with the inclusion of a polarizing character – Kamala Harris’ niece, Meena Harris. Engaging directly with the convoluted narrative, Meena released her response. She penned an overlay text whereby she takes a peculiarly critical stance on the never-ending Musk saga, ‘Raise your hand if you’ve never wanted to have a baby with Elon Musk.’
Further demonstrating the usage of social media as battlegrounds where public figures fight for public support, she captioned her clip defending that Elon shied away from his responsibilities, ‘What Elon got done last week: ran away from his baby mamas’. Her followers weren’t left indifferent, quick to throw their weight behind her sentiments. One echoed, ‘Raise your hand if you never wanted El*n anywhere near your (government) business’. Another voiced, ‘Dude, I don’t even want to have lunch with this guy.’
Adding fuel to the fire comes a third respondent, constructing a sharper narrative revolving around abandonment, ‘Don’t forget abandoning his son backstage’. Identifying a recent incident, this mention feeds the overall negative perspectives being shared about the Tesla CEO.
St Clair, in this ongoing whirlwind, hasn’t stayed silent but expressed her side of the ongoing drama. The author has publicly announced Musk as the father of her newborn, referencing the arrival of her baby five months prior. Her concerns regarding the intrusion of tabloid media prompted her disclosure, despite her initial protective instinct to maintain her child’s privacy and safety.
A communication from St Clair’s representative unveiled they were in the process of reaching a mutual agreement with Musk regarding their child’s upbringing. Holding their breaths for Musk to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, the world remains poised for the subsequent chapters of the eccentric billionaire’s saga.
