A soon-to-be-released biography reveals that Tesla chief Elon Musk and the artist Grimes expanded their family with the addition of a third child.
What Happened: The biography, by author Walter Isaacson, is set to hit shelves on Sept. 12, unveiling a plethora of details about Musk's life.
Musk and Grimes reportedly have a son named Techno Mechanicus, who also goes by “Tau," according to People.
The pair, who have been in an on-again/off-again relationship, previously welcomed son X Æ A-12, whose name was later changed to X Æ A-Xii and is fondly called “X.”

This was followed by the birth of their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, affectionately known as “Y,” via surrogate in December 2021, a few months after they publicly split.
In an interview with Vanity Fair in March 2022, Grimes shared that the two "always wanted at least three or four" children.
However, her relationship with Musk took a turn when the artist announced their breakup the day the interview surfaced.
Apart from his children with Grimes, Musk is a father to six children from his marriage with Canadian writer Justine Wilson, People reported. Their firstborn, Nevada Alexander, died from sudden infant death syndrome when he was just 10 weeks old.
Musk also fathered twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis through in vitro fertilization (IVF), as reported by Reuters. Although, Zilis maintains she wasn't romantically involved with Musk.
