Many of the billionaire’s 14 children were conceived via IVF. His ex-wife, Justine Wilson, had his first six children — five of which were conceived via IVF. All of them were assigned male at birth, though Vivian later came out as transgender.

Elon has three children with Grimes. One of them is a girl named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, who was born via surrogate. “I was fighting for Odysseus Musk,” she told Vanity Fair in 2022. “A girl named Odysseus is my dream.”

Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis has four children with Musk. Their twins, one of whom is a girl named Azure, were conceived via IVF. It’s not clear what sex their third child, Arcadia, is. He also has a son with influencer Ashley St. Clair.

If you’re keeping track, that’s two cisgender and one transgender daughter out of fourteen confirmed children. Now, Vivian and Elon are estranged, as the former has accused the latter of being an absent parent who was nasty about her queerness throughout her life.

On Threads this weekend, Vivian wrote, “My assigned sex at birth was a commodity that was bought and paid for. So when I was feminine as a child and then turned out to be transgender, I was going against the product that was sold.”

“That expectation of masculinity that I had to rebel against all my life was a monetary transaction. A monetary transaction. A MONETARY TRANSACTION,” she continued. “How the fuck is this legal.”

Sex-selective IVF is extremely controversial. It’s outright banned in many places outside the US. Meanwhile, under Musk, fertility and adoption benefits at X were halved. According to alleged texts between Musk and St. Clair, he told her, “Well, we do have a legion of kids to make.”
