Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and visionary behind Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, is not only revolutionizing technology but also raising a large and dynamic family. With multiple children from different relationships, Musk’s offspring are growing up in an environment deeply influenced by innovation, space exploration, and artificial intelligence.
Nevada Alexander Musk (2002-2002): A Tragic Loss
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 devastating loss had a profound impact on Musk and his family, shaping his perspective on fatherhood and the importance of legacy.
Twins: Griffin Musk and Xavier Musk (2004)
Born in 2004, twins Griffin and Xavier Musk (now Vivian Jenna Wilson) arrived via in vitro fertilization (IVF).
- Griffin Musk is known for his love of technology and has interned at SpaceX.
- Vivian Jenna Wilson, formerly Xavier, legally changed her name and gender identity in 2022, stating she no longer wished to be associated with her father.
Triplets: Kai Musk, Saxon Musk, and Damian Musk (2006)
In 2006, Musk and Wilson welcomed triplets—Kai, Saxon, and Damian—again through IVF. Each of them has distinct interests:
- Kai Musk is an avid reader and enjoys philosophy.
- Saxon Musk has a passion for sports and outdoor activities.

X Æ A-Xii Musk (2020): The Most Talked-About Name
In May 2020, Musk and his then-partner Grimes (Claire Boucher) welcomed their first child together, X Æ A-Xii Musk. The name immediately sparked curiosity worldwide, with Musk explaining:
- “X” represents the unknown variable.
- “Æ” is the elven spelling of AI (Artificial Intelligence).
- “A-Xii” refers to the Archangel 12 aircraft, a model admired by Musk.
Although his name is unusual, X Æ A-Xii, nicknamed “X”, is growing up surrounded by his father’s world of cutting-edge technology.

Despite his demanding work schedule, Musk has emphasized the importance of fatherhood, stating, “Children are the future.” His children have had unique experiences, including:
- Internships at SpaceX (Griffin and Vivian).
- Traveling with Musk on business trips (Kai, Saxon, and Damian).
- Growing up in a world dominated by AI, space exploration, and futuristic innovations.
The Future of Musk’s Legacy
