Damian Musk’s biography
Damian is the son of Elon Reeve Musk and Jennifer Justine Wilson. Damian Musk's mother is a Canadian author, while his dad is a South African-Canadian business mogul, technology investor, and engineer.
What is Damian Musk's age?
Born on 1 January 2006, Damian Musk is 18 years old as of 2024.
How did Damian Musk's parents meet?
Elon spotted Justine at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, where she was still a student and pursued her on dates.
They met again after graduation. She flew out several times to meet him in Silicon Valley, where he moved after graduation.
When he asked how many children she would love to have, Justine said she wanted one or two children but four if she could afford a nanny. Elon’s response was:
That’s the difference between you and me. I just assume that there will be nannies.
Elon Musk and Justine Wilson got married in 2000 and divorced in 2008. They share the custody of Damian and the four other children they have together.
After parting ways, Elon married and divorced the English actress Talulah Riley twice, from 2010 to 2012 and 2013 to 2016. The Tesla mogul never had a child with Riley, but between 2020 and 2024, he has had around six children with two other women.
Elon Musk's children
Elon Musk has 12 children with three women. The Tesla mogul welcomed six kids with his first wife, Justine Wilson, three with his ex-girlfriend Grimes, and three with his Neuralink executive, Shivon Zilis.
Musk and Justine's first child, Nevada Alexander, was born in 2002 but died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at ten weeks.
Almost two years later, they got twins Xavier and Griffin on 15th April 2004, followed by triplets Damian, Saxon, and Kai Musk on 1st January 2006 via IVF. The twins are now 20, while the triplets are 18 years old.
After Elon and Justine's divorce, Elon had another child, son X Æ A-Xii (X Ash A Twelve), on 4th May 2020 with his girlfriend, Claire Boucher (aka Grimes).
After three years of dating, Grimes and Musk broke up in September 2021 but later rekindled their relationship. Elon and the Canadian singer welcomed daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk via surrogate in December 2021. The girl was nicknamed Y after their other child, who was named X.
Their third child, Techno Mechanicus (nicknamed Tau), was born around June 2022. Grimes and Musk are battling for custody of their children in California and Texas courts.
Elon also quietly welcomed twins Strider and Azure on Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive, in November 2021. The two had a third child together at the beginning of 2024. Musk exclusively confirmed having a 12th child to Page Six in June 2024.
Who are Elon Musk's daughters?
Elon and the Canadian singer Grimes have a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk (born female in December 2021 via surrogate). The Tesla tycoon also has a transgender daughter named Vivian Jenna Wilson (born male on 15th April 2004 as Xavier). Vivian was born to Elon by his first wife, Jennifer Justine. She had a twin brother named Griffin.
Elon’s relationship with his children
Elon Musk's relationship with Vivian Jenna Wilson, his transgender daughter, has been tense in recent years. The pair reportedly are not close, and she tried to hide her true gender identity from her dad for several years.
Three days after her 18th birthday, she filed a petition to change her gender to female and drop the name Xavier Musk in 2023. She also revealed in court filings that she no longer wished to be related to her father in any way.
Musk, who was confidently optimistic about his daughter's transition, called the then-19-year-old Vivian a communist who thinks anyone rich is evil, blaming her political views on the expensive private high school she attended.
Elon claimed he was tricked by the "woke mind virus" into allowing Vivian to become a transgender woman. He said:
I was essentially tricked into signing documents for one of my older boys, Xavier. This was really before I had any understanding of what was going on, and we had COVID going on, so there was a lot of confusion. And I was told Xavier might commit suicide.
On the other hand, Elon Musk's other children love playing video games, traveling, and hanging out with him but are not interested in visiting his Tesla factory. He believes video games improve children’s learning ability by boosting their concentration.
Saxon, one of Damian Musk's triplet brothers, plays the piano. Elon shared a video of him performing for older adults; some thought he was Damian because he also loves music. For now, little is known about the hobbies of Musk's other children.
What is Damian Musk’s school?
He is an undergraduate student at the California Institute of Technology and Stanford University's online school and an alumnus of the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program.
Damian Musk’s Caltech profile on Caltech.academia.edu says he studies Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy at the California Institute of Technology and takes Applied Physics at Stanford University.
Elon Musk has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Damian and his siblings' education. All his children attended the Crossroads K-12 school in Santa Monica, where annual tuition costs up to $50,000.
Before that, Elon's children attended a nontraditional school called Ad Astra at the SpaceX facility in California. Ad Astra is an innovative online school without traditional classes and grades.
The tycoon established Ad Astra in 2014 for his kids and the children of SpaceX employees. Since Elon endured bullying in South African schools, people assumed he wanted to create a different path for his children.
Since Ad Astra is only available to learners ages eight to fourteen, his children would leave and enroll in traditional schools after turning 15.
The school now admits students from all over the world. Musk offers the school financial support and donations from the public are also accepted.
