After his divorce from Wilson, Musk went on to have two children with actress Talulah Riley, though they never had children together.
His relationship with musician Grimes (Claire Boucher) brought three more children into the world: son X Æ A-Xii, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, and son Techno Mechanicus. Musk also fathered twins with Neuralink employee Shivon Zilis in November 2021, and welcomed another child with Zilis in early 2024

Musk has expressed his desire to help address the global underpopulation crisis, and his growing family is a testament to his commitment to this cause.
Elon Musk’s Canadian roots
Elon Musk is a true immigrant. His Canadian roots trace back to his mother, Maye Musk, who is a Canadian-South African model and dietitian. Born in Saskatchewan, Maye Musk later moved to South Africa, where she met and married Errol Musk, Elon’s father.
This Canadian connection played a significant role in Elon Musk’s upbringing and his eventual move to North America. Musk holds Canadian citizenship, and his early exposure to Canadian culture influenced his worldview.
In fact, before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania, Musk attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, further solidifying his ties to Canada. This diverse heritage has undoubtedly contributed to the unique perspective and innovative spirit that Musk is known for today.
