Elon Musk is a name that echoes around the world for his groundbreaking work in the fields of modern technology. He is not just a tech juggernaut but also a father of ten, including Saxon Musk. Being a father to ten children can be difficult for anyone, even a billionaire.
This piece looks into the life of Saxon Musk, examining the kind of a man he is growing into within the ever-complicated Musk family.
Who Is Saxon Musk?
Almost all of Elon Musk’s children don’t have steady social media accounts making much of their lives elusive. Despite being the son of one of the most talked-about billionaires in the world, Saxon Musk, like his siblings, lives his life outside the public’s eyes.
Saxon Musk was born to Elon Musk and Justine Wilson in Los Angeles, California, on April 14, 2006. As the son of one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, Saxon has been thrust into the public spotlight from a young age. He is one of Elon’s more popular children.
That is partly because he was born through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and was part of a trio of triplet boys Elon had with his first wife. His other triplet siblings are Damian and Kai.
Saxon Musk had an outstanding early education compared to most children his age. He went to the Ad Astra School, founded by his father in 2014. The school had fewer than 40 students, including Musk’s siblings and the children of SpaceX’s staff. Instead of focusing on dancing, music, and language, the school emphasized applied science, artificial intelligence, design, and coding.
Elon Musk started the school to create a new education system catering to student’s abilities rather than treating education like an assembly line. Saxon grew up in a rich environment with his siblings and is known for being well-behaved.
Saxon Musk Family and Background
Like Bill Gates, Saxon’s father, Elon Musk, is widely recognized worldwide. Elon Musk was born to a South African father and a Canadian mother. He showed a natural aptitude for computers and business at a young age. When he was 12, he created a video game and sold it to a computer magazine.
In 1988, after acquiring a Canadian passport, Elon Musk left South Africa because he didn’t want to support apartheid by being compelled to serve in the military. He eventually settled in the United States, where he has been successful as an executive in multiple technology companies.
In contrast, Justine Wilson, his ex-wife, was born in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and spent much of her early life there. She attended Queen’s University in Kingston and earned a degree in English literature. Later, she relocated to Japan, where she taught English as a second language (ESL). Finally, she made California her permanent home.
They met while she was studying at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada, and married in January 2000. Wilson and Elon Musk had six children together. But their marriage ended in divorce in 2008.
Saxon was two years old when his dad filed for divorce from his mom. Only six weeks later, Elon messaged Justine to inform her that he had moved on to actress Talulah Riley, who was in her early 20s. “Custody of our five children is split evenly,” Musk said in a 2010 Business Insider op-ed. “Almost all of my non-work waking hours are spent with my boys, and they are the love of my life.”
Who Are Saxon Musk’s Siblings?
Saxon Musk has nine siblings, four biological and five half-siblings from his father’s other relationships. However, his oldest brother, Nevada Alexander, passed away due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome when he was just ten weeks old.
Saxon has two twin siblings named Griffin and Xavier, who now goes by the name Vivian Jenna Wilson. They were born in 2004. In 2022, Xavier publicly emerged as a transwoman and changed her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson.
Shortly after turning 18, Vivian filed a petition in Los Angeles County’s Superior Court, requesting a name change to Vivian Jenna Wilson and official recognition of her gender as female. She also asked to issue a new birth certificate reflecting these changes, as indicated in the court documents.
Saxon also has younger half-siblings from his father’s other relationships. Two half-siblings, X A-12, and Exa Dark Siderael, were born from his father’s relationship with musician Grimes in March 2022. There are also twin siblings from his father’s affair with Shivon Zills, whose identities have yet to be revealed.
Where Is Saxon Musk Now?
Saxon has led a relatively private life without information about his current work. Still, he has made public appearances, with the latest being last year on the tabloid news show “BILD LIVE.” That is his first TV credit. Although the teenager didn’t have any social handles at the time of publication, he has voiced many of his opinions through his dad.
His dad has also published his statements and opinions on social media, referring to him as SJM. The initials first confused fans, who were clueless about whom the Twitter CEO spoke. SJM stood for Saxon’s full name Saxon James Musk.
In September 2022, Elon shared Saxon’s amazement that newspapers were still in print. The youngster thought that publications should “just search the internet” and “print it out.” Elon shared the sentiment again last December. That same month, he accompanied his dad to Italy to meet Pope Francis.
Whether Saxon will become a tech inventor like Elon Musk remains to be seen. But for now, he is happily living his life behind the scenes.
