Elon Musk and Grimes already share two children, but since their break-up they’ve continued to say they hoped to have more children together
Elon Musk has reportedly welcomed his 11th child into the world – and handed him an unusual name.
The world’s richest man shares his youngest son with musician Grimes, but the pair decided to keep the happy news out of the public eye. The claim has been made in a new biography about the businessman, who now owns X, the social media site previously known as Twitter. The book will hit the shelves next week with extracts appearing on the New York Times. Very little is known about the latest arrival and the businessman hasn’t revealed how old they are. However he did share the name, Techno Mechanicus, but says the family have nicknamed him Tau.
He now has 11 children with three different women. Little Tau is Musk’s third child with Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher.
The couple named their first child, born in May 2020, X Ã A-12 but they had to change it to X Ã A-Xii. The following year they welcomed Exa Darl, who they call Y. The couple split up in 2021 but said they wanted to continue having children together, with Grimes telling Vanity Fair they “wanted at least three or four”.
