BOCA CHIKA, TEXAS: Walter Isaacson's biography on Elon Musk revealed that he had a third child, named Techno Mechanicus and nicknamed Tau, with Grimes.

With the addition of Tau, Musk now has 11 biological children with three different women, per Page Six. 

In 2002, Musk and his first wife, the author Justine Wilson, welcomed their first child, Nevada Alexander, but he died due to sudden infant death syndrome at just 10 weeks old.

Following this, Wilson had twins, Vivian and Griffin, in 2004, and triplets, Kai, Saxon and Damian, in 2006.

In 2018 Musk started a relationship with Grimes. In May 2020, the 'Oblivion' hitmaker gave birth to their first child, X AE A-XII. In December 2021, she had Exa Dark Sideræl via surrogacy.
