Here’s a breakdown of Musk’s family:
– Justine Musk: Musk’s first wife, with whom he has six children. They tragically lost their first child, Nevada, at an early age, but later had twins Griffin and Vivian, and triplets Saxon, Damian, and Kai.
– Talulah Riley: Musk’s second wife, who married and divorced him twice. Their relationship ended in part due to her career focus.
– Claire Boucher (Grimes): Musk and Boucher have three children, including their famously named son, X Æ A-Xii, born in 2020.
– Shivon Zilis: Musk also shares children with Zilis, who resides in Austin and has been spotted locally. Musk confirmed in June 2023 that they have a third child together.
Musk originally envisioned a sprawling family compound on hundreds of acres near Tesla’s Austin headquarters, but the project faced scrutiny from the U.S. Justice Department, which raised concerns about Tesla resources being used for a personal luxury project.
Musk denied these claims in August 2023, but continued looking for real estate options for his expanding family. He and Grimes lived together in a 6,900-square-foot home until mid-2023, when she moved out amid the ongoing custody dispute.
As for who will settle in Musk’s new Austin compound, it’s unclear. Some of his older children, like his daughter Vivian, are reportedly estranged from him. Vivian, who is transgender, has publicly criticized her father, suggesting that Musk’s portrayal as a “family man” might not align with his actions.
