Elon Musk reveals third child with Grimes named Tau Techno Mechanicus - the billionaire's 11th -...
Elon Musk recently announced that he has a third child, which he had not previously revealed, with his partner, the singer Grimes. This came just days after Grimes accused Musk of keeping their children away from her.
On Saturday, an article in the New York Times revealed that Elon Musk has a new son. Musk later posted on X that the baby's name is Tau Techno Mechanicus, with the nickname "Tau."
Musk, who is 52 years old, was already known to have two children with the 35-year-old singer. Their three-year-old son is called X Æ A-12, but goes by the nickname "X," and their one-year-old daughter is affectionately known as "Y" and is named Exa Dark Sideræl.
The age of Tau was kept a secret. This information was shared shortly after Grimes begged Musk to let her see her child in a post that has since been removed from social media. It is uncertain if she was requesting to see Tau or their older son X.
The symbol Tau in Greek appears like the letter 'T', and its origin comes from the Phoenician letter taw, which had a resemblance to the present-day letter 'X'. This seems to be one of Musk's fixations, as he has renamed Twitter as X since purchasing the popular social media site in the previous year.
. Elon Musk recently announced that he has a new addition to his family - a third child with Grimes. The baby's name is Tau Techno Mechanicus, but they will go by Tau for short.
At the age of 52, Musk previously revealed that he has two kids with the 35-year-old singer. One of their children is a three-year-old boy named X Æ A-12, but he is often referred to as 'X', and another is their one-year-old daughter who goes by the cute nickname of 'Y', specifically Exa Dark Sideræl.
Musk had a romantic relationship with Claire Boucher, who is known professionally as Grimes, for approximately three years. Recently, their relationship experienced some challenges and the couple sort of went their separate ways in March 2022. However, despite the changes in their relationship status, they made it clear that they planned to maintain a close relationship.
The extremely rich individual has fathered a total of 11 kids. His first child was with his former spouse, Justine Wilson, who regrettably passed away during infancy due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
In November of 2021, Musk became a father of twins with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink. This occurred just a few weeks before the birth of his and Grimes' second child through a surrogate.
Grimes hinted on Thursday in a tweet that was later deleted that she and Zilis were having problems. She also suggested that Musk was preventing her from seeing her own child.
Based on pictures of the tweet that showed up together with a snapshot of Musk and his two offspring with Zilis, Grimes composed a message that was meant for Musk's biographer, Walter Isaacson.
She wrote a message requesting Shivon to remove the block on her and asking Elon to allow her to see her child. Additionally, she urged a response from her lawyer.
Until this moment, I have never been given the chance to even catch a glimpse of these kids in a picture. And even though this decision has caused immense pain and turmoil within my family, it has remained the same.
The post on Twitter has been removed. However, it was placed under a fresh picture of Musk and the twins he had with Zilis.
In 2018, Elon Musk, the creator of SpaceX, was romantically linked to the Canadian singer Grimes.
Elon Musk has had a complex personal life that has included getting married and divorced three times, with two marriages and divorces to the same woman. He has seven children from two long-term relationships and also has twins with Zilis, who were conceived via in vitro fertilization.
In April 2018, Elon and Grimes began a romantic relationship that caused quite a stir in the media. Their unique personalities and quirks made for an intriguing couple, and they certainly garnered attention when they stepped onto the red carpet together at the Met Gala just one month later.
Through a sequence of separations and reunions, the couple had their initial child named 'X AE A-XII' in the month of May in the year 2020.
Their second offspring, named Exa Dark Sideræl but commonly referred to as Y, was brought into the world in December of 2021 with the assistance of a surrogate.
Musk has some more kids with his former spouse, the writer from Canada, Justine Wilson.
In the year 2000, he tied the knot with Justine Wilson. Unfortunately, their initial child Nevada passed away at the tender age of 10 weeks in 2002. Nonetheless, the couple was blessed with twins named Griffin and Xavier in 2004.
At the age of 19, Xavier underwent a gender transition and now identifies as female under the name Vivian. Vivian also made the decision to no longer use the well-known surname of her father, and expressed in court that she wants no affiliation with him whatsoever.
According to Insider, Zilis, a native of Ontario, Canada, crossed paths with Musk by way of OpenAI. This nonprofit was created by Musk in 2015 and focuses on researching and implementing artificial intelligence technology.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Zilis was selected for Forbes' 30 Under 30 list in the venture-capital field in 2015 and was appointed as the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, Musk's brain chip company, in 2017.
Last April, Musk and Zilis submitted a request to change their twins' names. The purpose of the change was to incorporate their father's last name and use their mother's last name as a middle name. This information was outlined in the court records.
According to an excerpt from Time magazine, Walter Isaacson, who is Musk's biographer, posted a picture featuring Musk, Zilis, and the twins at Zilis' residence situated in Austin, Texas.
