March 24, 2025 – Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, is known for revolutionizing multiple industries. However, beyond his groundbreaking innovations, he is also a father to 14 children from different relationships.
While Musk’s demanding career has often kept him in the public eye, his family life remains a topic of curiosity. Let’s take a closer look at the children of one of the most influential figures of our time.
A Tragic Beginning: The Loss of Nevada
Musk’s first child, Nevada Alexander Musk, was born in 2002 to his first wife, Justine Wilson. Tragically, Nevada passed away at just 10 weeks old due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). This heartbreaking loss deeply affected Musk and Justine, shaping their outlook on family and resilience.
The Twins: Griffin & Vivian Jenna (Formerly Xavier)
In 2004, Musk and Justine welcomed twin sons, Griffin and Xavier, through IVF. However, in 2022, Xavier legally changed her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, distancing herself from Musk and adopting her mother’s last name. Vivian has remained out of the spotlight since.
Griffin, on the other hand, has shown an interest in technology and space exploration, with reports suggesting he has interned at SpaceX.
The Triplets: Kai, Saxon, and Damian
Born in 2006, Musk’s triplet sons—Kai, Saxon, and Damian—were also conceived via IVF. Each of them has unique interests and personalities:
- Kai is an avid reader with a deep interest in philosophy.
- Saxon is passionate about sports and outdoor activities.
- Damian is known for his sense of humor and musical talents.
Despite their father’s demanding schedule, Musk has mentioned that he makes an effort to spend time with them.
The Arrival of X Æ A-12 (Lil X) and Exa Dark Sideræl (Y)
In 2020, Musk and his then-partner Grimes (Claire Boucher) welcomed their first child together, X Æ A-12 Musk, now often called Lil X. His name, inspired by a mix of mathematical symbols and aviation history, quickly became a viral sensation.
Two years later, in 2022, Musk and Grimes had their second child, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, affectionately nicknamed Y. She was born via surrogate and has remained relatively private compared to her brother Lil X, who frequently appears alongside Musk at Tesla and SpaceX events.
