It’s no secret that Elon Musk is a huge proponent of large families.
“There are not enough people.
He later added, “If people don’t have more children, civilization is going to crumble.
Mark my words.”
Elon emphasized this point once again at the 2023 Arteju political festival in Italy.
Holding his son X A-12 Musk in his arms, Elon urged politicians to incentivize higher fertility rates.
It’s no stretch to say Elon practices what he preaches.
Here’s what we know about the Tesla cofounder’s kids.

Elon Musk and Justine Wilson welcomed twins and triplets via IVF
The twins were born in 2004.
In 2006, the former couple welcomed triplets Kai Musk, Damian Musk, and Saxon Musk.
In a 2017Ted Talk, Wilson described all five of her kids as energetic and spirited.

Once again, Elon and Grimes took issue with what they could and couldn’t legally call their child.
While they initially went with Exa Dark Siderl Musk, they later decided on a different name.
In March 2023, Grimes wrote on X, formerly known asTwitter, “She’s Y now.
Or, ‘Why???’
Or just ‘?’
(But the government won’t recognize that).
Curiosity, the eternal question … and such.”
While these names certainly aren’t orthodox, they are definitely memorable.
Rather, Grimes accidentally revealed they had a second child in a March 2022 interview withVanity Fair.
She then went on to lament the fact that her eldest son already had something of a public presence.
“And X is just out there.
His situation is like that.
But, yeah, I don’t know,” she said.
Over the years,Elon and Grimes have shared some photos of their kids on social media.

The couple named the pair Strider Zilis Musk and Azure Zilis Musk.
Elon, however, balks at the idea that any of his children are a “secret.”
All our friends and family know.
Failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre, does not mean ‘secret.'"
Shivon has said that having children has motivated her to fight for a better world for future generations.
