Elon Musk clarified a fan’s post on X, correcting the identity of his son in a photo shared by Eva McMillan. Musk, pointed out that the child dining with him was Kai, not Griffin, as McMillan had assumed in her post. The image, capturing a tender moment between Musk and his son, had initially been described as featuring Musk with his “oldest son,” prompting the billionaire’s quick response to set the record straight.
The post ignited a flurry of reactions on X, with users noting the striking resemblance between Musk and Kai, particularly in their intense gaze, while another referenced Walter Isaacson’s biography, which highlights Kai’s technical curiosity and frequent presence at SpaceX rocket launches.
Musk’s family, detailed in a People magazine article, includes 14 children with four women, which if often said to be a reflection of his personal mission to address declining population rates, also something that people were discussing in the post’s replies. Some praised Musk’s dedication as a father, emphasizing his close relationship with his children despite his demanding career as the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.
Kai, born in 2006 as one of Musk’s triplets with ex-wife Justine Wilson alongside Saxon and Damian, has emerged as a child deeply interested in his father’s work. According to Isaacson’s biography, Kai often joins Musk at Cape Canaveral for rocket launches, showcasing his fascination with the technical aspects of SpaceX’s endeavors. Some users in the replies, noted this unique bond, with Kai seemingly inheriting Musk’s intensity and focus. While Griffin, Musk’s actual oldest surviving son born in 2004 with twin Vivian, remains more private.
