Musk, who is one of the world's richest men, has fathered 12 children. Reports suggest he welcomed twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain technology company Neuralink, in 2021. He later confirmed the birth of their third child. Musk's first child, born to his ex-wife Justine Musk, tragically passed away at just 10 weeks old. The couple later had five children through IVF - twins Griffin and Vivian, and triplets Saxon, Damian, and Kai. After their divorce, Musk had three more children with musician Grimes - X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl (known as "Y"), and Techno Mechanicus (nicknamed "Tau").
