Marriage to Justine Musk

Elon's first wife was Justine Musk, née Wilson, and the pair married in 2000. The marriage wasn't to last, and the husband and wife parted ways in 2008.

In a 2010 op-ed in Business Insider, Elon revealed of the split: “Custody 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.”

Nevada Alexander Musk

The couple welcomed their first son, Nevada Alexander Musk in 2002, however, he tragically died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at ten weeks old.

“There is nothing worse than losing a child,” Musk wrote in an email, reported Bloomberg.  “My firstborn son died in my arms. I felt his heartbeat.”

Vivian and Griffin

Justine and Elon went on to have twins, Griffin and Vivian, in 2004 

Now over 18, Vivian has legally changed her name and is now transgender. Court documents posted online read that her reasoning was "gender 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".

In 2020 Elon tweeted: "I absolutely support trans, but all these pronouns are an esthetic nightmare." He also tweeted: "Pronouns suck." Since then, the X owner has posted and re-shared more and more anti-trans rhetoric on his platform, to the point that the Human Rights Campaign condemned his tweets.

Kai, Saxon and Damian

Elon and Justine welcomed triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, in 2006. The triplets were conceived via IVF.

While the former couple rarely speak of their twins, in Walter Isaacson's biography on the tech mogul, it was revealed that Damian had become a vegetarian at age eight to "decrease my carbon footprint".

Damian is reportedly a classical music prodigy who excels in math and physics, with Elon's mother saying: "I think Damian is brighter than you."

X Æ A-XII

More recently, Elon has been involved with singer Grimes. The couple began dating in 2018 and were together for three years before they parted ways in 2021.

In May 2020, they welcomed their first child together, who they named X Æ A-12, but they later changed their son's name X Æ A-XII in order to comply with California law.

Elon announced his son's birth on Twitter, posting: "Mom and baby all good."

The proud father happily shared a picture of his son wrapped in a blue, red and white striped blanket with fake tattoos and symbols across his face, joking: "Never too young for some ink haha." 

Exa Dark Sideræl

In March 2022, Grimes revealed she had welcomed a second child, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk. The singer also confirmed that the pair had got back together. The couple have since split for good.

Techno Mechanicus

In September 2023, it was revealed that Elon and his former girlfriend Grimes have welcomed a third child, a son named Techno Mechanicus. 

His birth was confirmed in a new biography by Walter Isaacson, which also revealed that Elon has been calling his son Tau, according to the New York Times.

Elon's children with Shivon Zilis

In July 2022, it emerged that he had become a father for the ninth and tenth time in October 2021 after Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink, had welcomed twins.

According to Reuters, Shivon informed colleagues that she wasn't involved romantically with Elon and their children were conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Reuters did point out, however, that they could not establish the accuracy of Zilis’ account.

In June 2024, Elon confirmed that he and Shivon Zilis had welcomed their third child together, a daughter named Arcadia, born on 28 February 2024. Zilis celebrated Arcadia’s first birthday in February 2025 with a post on X, writing, "Mommy loves you with all her heart."

Seldon Lycurgus

In February 2025, Shivon Zilis announced on X that she and Elon had welcomed their fourth child together, a son named Seldon Lycurgus. While she did not reveal his exact birthdate, the mother of four shared that after speaking with Musk, they decided to share the news directly, describing Seldon as "built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold."

Romulus

Conservative author and influencer Ashley St. Clair broke her silence on X in February 2025, revealing she had given birth to Elon Musk’s child back in September 2024. While she originally kept the news quiet for her child’s protection, she stepped forward after discovering tabloids were about to expose it anyway. Pleading with the media to respect their boundaries, Ashley requested privacy so her child could have a normal upbringing. The exact timeline of her baby's birth compared to Elon's fourth child with Shivon Zilis is still unknown.
