The Birth of Elon’s First Child and an Unimaginable Loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Elon met Justine Wilson while they were both students at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. Justine was in her first year, and Elon, a year ahead of her, was a 19-year-old student with a South African accent and an ambitious spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Their romance<\/a> quickly grew, and after Elon sold his first company, Zip2, they got engaged and moved into a newly renovated condo. By January 2000, they were married. Two years later, they welcomed their first child, Nevada Alexander Musk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In 2002, their joy turned to heartbreak when Nevada stopped breathing during a nap at just 10 weeks old. Although paramedics managed to resuscitate him, Nevada had been without oxygen for too long and was declared brain dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He spent three days on life support before Justine and Elon made the painful decision to let him go. Justine held him in her arms as he passed away. When news of Nevada’s passing resurfaced years later, it struck a chord with many people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“That’s so heartbreaking to learn they lost their baby\u2026. I didn’t even know that, and I can only imagine how hard & sad that is to lose a child\u2026 I’m so sorry,”<\/i>\u00a0one commenter\u00a0wrote<\/a>. Another\u00a0added<\/a>,\u00a0“Oh god, I can’t even imagine. So tragic! No one should ever bury their child.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The loss deeply affected the couple, but in the years that followed, they went on to grow their family through in vitro fertilization (IVF).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Twins and Triplets \u2013 Expanding the Family<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

After Nevada’s passing, Elon and Justine became parents to\u00a0five more children<\/a>. In 2004, he welcomed twins, Griffin and Xavier. Two years later, triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian joined the family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

During their marriage, Elon continued to expand his business ventures. However, the pressures of his growing career and personal life eventually took a toll on their relationship. In 2008, the couple divorced and Elon went on to date actress, Talulah Riley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite their differences, they agreed to share custody of their five sons. In 2022, one of the twins, Xavier,\u00a0made headlines<\/a> after petitioning for a legal name and gender change. She adopted Vivian Jenna Wilson, taking her mother’s maiden name, and requested to sever ties with her father.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Court documents\u00a0revealed<\/a>\u00a0her reasoning, “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form.” A Los Angeles County judge approved the legal change. Vivian is\u00a0active on TikTok<\/a>, where she has attracted over 387,000 followers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
