Mothers and children, from public records and statements.
Musk married Justine Wilson in 2000. Their first son died in infancy. They then had twins and triplets through IVF, and separated in 2008. He married actress Talulah Riley twice. He has three children with the musician Grimes and at least four with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, the latest announced in March 2025. [1][2]
What we can’t tell you. Some births were not announced at the time.
In a July 2024 interview with Jordan Peterson, Musk said he was tricked into allowing puberty blockers for his child and that his son was “killed by the woke mind virus.” His daughter, Vivian Wilson, responded publicly that his account was false. [1][2]
In February 2025, conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair said Musk was the father of her son and sought sole custody. A paternity test was later reported. In January 2026 Musk said he would seek full custody. St. Clair also sued xAI in 2026 over Grok-generated images of her. [1]
On 22 October 2026, both sides skipped a custody hearing as their lawyers negotiated child support. No final ruling had been reported. [2]
