has seen his reputation fluctuate massively in recent years. Just a half-decade back, he was looked on as a successful businessman juggling dozens of responsibilities at multiple companies, but these days he’s best known as the biggest disinformation sower on his far-right vacuum of choice, X, a company he also owns.

These days, Musk is frequently looked on as a manic and unsettlingly brash billionaire with far, far too much power at his disposal. That same wealth and influence has served the 53-year-old well in the world of love, securing him with several different wives, a small handful of occasional girlfriends and partners, and a full baker’s dozen of little ones, welcomed into the world over the last few decades.

Over the years, Musk has welcomed a whopping 13 children into the world — and those are just the ones we know about. Rumors of more, unclaimed children run rampant in online communities, but without confirmation we only know of the first dozen, fathered by four separate women.

The first of these women was Justine Wilson, Musk’s first wife. The pair married in 2ooo, and two years later they were welcoming their first child. Nevada Alexander Musk was born in 2002, but unfortunately was not long for this world. The very first Musk child passed away at only 10 weeks old from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), a tragedy that urged Musk and Wilson to pursue IVF for their following children.
