9 Musk And Nevada Alexander

Musk had his first son, Nevada Alexander, with his wife, Justine Wilson, in 2002. He suddenly died from sudden infant death syndrome at 10 weeks (SIDS). According to an essay by Wilson for Marie Claire in 2010, Nevada laid down for a nap and stopped breathing while lying on his back as usual. He had no oxygen for so long when the paramedics revived him that he was brain-dead. Before doctors decided to remove him from life support, he was kept alive for three days in a hospital in Orange County.

8 Musk And Griffin

Less than two months after Nevada's passing, Elon's ex-wife Wilson paid her first visit to an IVF clinic. They intended to conceive again as soon as possible. She gave birth to twins and then triplets over the next five years. Griffin, one of the twins, was raised as a well-known personality who gained fame and media attention by being the son of CEO and multi-billionaire Elon Musk. Griffin Musk is also thought to be the renowned child who showed up on his father's Instagram account.

7 Musk And Vivian Jenna

She wanted a name change and a gender change for one of his twin kids, Xavier. According to court records that people could access, she no longer wants to be tied to her father. Xavier requested a legal name change to Vivian Jenna Wilson in June 2022, adopting the teen's mother's last name. Gender identity and the fact that she no longer lives with or want to be related to her biological father in any manner, shape, or form are listed as the reasons for the name change in the file.

6 Musk And The Triplets

Kai, Saxon, and Damian were the names of the triplets that Wilson gave birth to in 2006, two years after having twins. They were also conceived through IVF treatment, she said in a 2017 TedTalk, although she and Musk haven't talked about the kids in public. When speaking at the Wall Street Journal's annual CEO Council in December 2021, Musk, who does not frequently address his own family, said there aren't enough people worldwide. Kai, Saxon, and Damian, the former couple's triplet sons, were born in January 2006, thanks to IVF. The trio is now sixteen. Both Wilson and the divorced couple still have joint custody of their five sons.

5 Musk And X Æ A-12

Grimes and Musk had their first child on May 4, 2020, following the singer's pregnancy announcement in January 2020 with a photo of her growing baby bulge. Part of their kid's name, X Æ A-12, which was later modified to X Æ A-Xii, was inspired by the Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance plane used by the CIA. Despite going by the moniker "X," Grimes clarified how to pronounce him in her Instagram comments.

4 Musk And Exa Dark Sideræl

Three months after the couple's public divorce in 2021, his ex-girlfriend Grimes disclosed in a Vanity Fair interview a year later that she had given birth to a daughter through surrogacy. The singer-songwriter Exa Dark Siderael claimed that her name has two meanings. Exa stands for exaFLOPS, a supercomputing phrase, and Dark stands for the unknowable. People fear it, she said, but in reality, it's the absence of photons. Our universe's magnificent mystery is dark matter. Star time, deep space-time, and not our relative earth time are all used to define the third part of Y's full name, Sideræl.

3 Musk And His Kids' Education

Elon Musk claimed in an interview that YouTube and Reddit played a significant role in his children's education. He said that he believed teaching children should be just as entertaining as video games. A school Musk founded that mainly focuses on AI, coding, and applied science is attended by his five older boys. Musk said his children had gained knowledge from their peers at Musk's Ad Astra school. His children and the children of SpaceX employees are educated at the school he co-founded in 2014.

2 Musk' Time With His Kids

People close to Musk have noted that he frequently sees his children from his former marriage since he is loyal to them. Musk tries to arrive home early for family dinners with her and the kids and maybe even plays some video games with the boys, according to his ex-wife Riley.

1 Musk Taking X Æ A-Xii To Public Events

Musk has also brought X Æ A-Xii, his first child with Grimes, to numerous public engagements. Elon appeared on a video call in November 2021 while holding a dancing infant named X on his lap. In a recent Vanity Fair interview, Grimes claimed that Musk treats X like a protégé by inviting him to events. In 2020, Musk admitted to the New York Times that he doesn't get mainly involved in his children's lives until they are old. There isn't much he can accomplish because Grimes currently plays a far more prominent role than him on X.
