Amassing a total of 14 kids with four different women, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk appears to be building his own universe. Learn more about the mothers of his children.
Justine Wilson (Ex-Wife)
Elon and Canadian-born Justine, his�college sweetheart from Queen’s University in Ontario, married in 2000. In a 2010 article she penned for�Marie Claire, titled�I Was a Starter Wife: Inside America’s Messiest Divorce, Justine said that while dancing at their wedding reception, Elon told her, “I am the alpha in this marriage.”
In the moment, “I shrugged it off,” Wilson wrote, “just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement, but as time went on, I learned that he was serious.”
The two faced an unthinkable tragedy when their baby boy�Nevada Alexander�died at 10 weeks from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). “Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always,” Justine wrote in her article, “and stopped breathing.”
The couple pursued IVF to conceive again and went on to welcome five more kids: Twins�Vivian�and�Griffin�and triplets�Kai,�Saxon�and�Damian.
In 2008, Elon filed for divorce.
Talulah Riley (Ex-Wife)
Elon and Talulah�who starred on HBO’s�Westworld�married in 2010. “It all happened very fast,” she told�CBS News�in 2014. “We were engaged after, I think, two weeks of knowing each other.”
The two divorced in 2012, then remarried a year later before divorcing again in 2016. In June 2024,�Talulah wed�Love Actually�alum�Thomas Brodie-Sangster.
Grimes (Ex-Girlfriend)
Elon and the singer dated�on-and-off for four years, starting in 2018. In September 2021, Elon told�Page Six�that he and Grimes “are, I’d say, probably semi-separated,” adding, “It’s mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in LA. She’s staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room.”
However, in March 2022, she told�Vanity Fair�that�they “live in separate houses” and are “best friends.”
She later tweeted, “Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now.”
When news broke in September 2023 that the couple actually had three children together, the “Crystal Ball” singer confirmed that, yes, their most recent addition�Techno Mechanicus�had joined�son�X � A-12�and daughter�Exa Dark Sider�l.
In November 2024,�Grimes revealed that�she had “spent a year locked in battle in a state with terrible mothers rights having my instagram posts and modeling used as reasons I shouldn’t have my kids,” all the while, “fighting and detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me.”
Fighting with just a “fraction” of his resources, she was kept from one of her kids for five months, she continued, adding, “This is only what can be said publicly, since most of my experience these last years should remain behind closed doors.”\
Ashley St. Clair (Alleged Mother of His Child)
Roses are red, violets are blue and on Valentine’s Day 2025, conservative influencer�Ashley St. Clair�had a little sharing to do.
�Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,� the�Elephants Are Not Birds�author wrote on�X�Feb. 14. �I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that the tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.�
�I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment,� she continued. �For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.�
Weeks after her rep�called on Elon to��publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley,� she accused him of cutting his child support payments for the baby, prompting him to address the matter on social media.
�I don�t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out,� he wrote in a post on�X�March 31, adding, �Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year.�
