In a recent revelation from Walter Isaacson’s upcoming biography of Elon Musk, it has been disclosed that the tech billionaire and musician Grimes have secretly welcomed their third child. Elon Musk, who is 52 years old and the owner of X (formerly Twitter), and Grimes, the 35-year-old musician whose real name is Claire Boucher, named their son Techno Mechanicus, also known as “Tau.”
However, the biography does not reveal the child’s birthplace or date of birth, with its release scheduled for September 12.
Their first child, born on May 4, 2020, was originally named X Æ A-12 before being changed to X Æ A-Xii and later nicknamed “X.” Following their separation in the media after three years of dating, Musk and Grimes welcomed their daughter Exa Dark Siderael, known as “Y,” via surrogacy in December 2021.
Grimes had expressed in an interview with Vanity Fair in March 2022 that they had hoped to have “three or four” children, but on the same day, they announced another breakup.
Elon Musk is a father to six children from his previous marriage to Canadian author Justine Wilson. Tragically, their first child together, Nevada Alexander, passed away at 10 weeks old from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). They later had twins, Griffin and Vivian Jenna Wilson, and one of the twins, now 18 years old, officially changed her name and gender, expressing a desire to distance herself from her father.
In 2005, Wilson gave birth to twins, followed by triplets in 2006: Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Additionally, according to court records reported by Insider in July 2021, Musk secretly welcomed another set of twins, Strider and Azure, with Shivon Zilis just before the birth of his daughter with Grimes.
Grimes recently discussed co-parenting with Musk in an interview with Wired, sharing their commitment to providing a strong family culture for their children while balancing discipline and friendship in their parenting approach. Despite uncertainties, she expressed hope that their children would not resent them in the future.
