Maye Musk's Grandchildren: How Many Does Elon's Mother Have?

Picture this, if you will. It’s a quiet Sunday afternoon, and Maye Musk is likely sipping a green juice after a long week of modeling and dietitian work. Suddenly, her phone explodes with a photo of a tiny hand gripping a finger. Another grandchild has arrived—and let's be honest, she’s probably lost count by now. But that’s the thing about being Elon Musk’s mother: your family tree grows faster than a SpaceX rocket.

So, let’s cut to the chase. How many grandchildren does Maye Musk actually have? As of early 2025, the number stands at fourteen. Yes, you read that right. Fourteen little Musks running around, likely building Lego rockets before they can walk. It’s a logistical miracle that Maye remembers all their names, let alone their birthdays.

The Main Event: Elon’s Bunch

Of course, the bulk of the grandkids come from Elon, the family’s most famous (and busiest) member. He has twelve children, which is a number that makes most parents’ heads spin—including mine, honestly. How does he do it? The answer is a mix of past relationships, surrogacy, and one very public baby announcement with a singer named Grimes.

Elon’s kids range from young adults to toddlers. There’s the oldest set: Nevada Alexander (sadly passed away as an infant), followed by Griffin and Vivian (twins), then Kai, Saxon, and Damian (triplets). That’s six kids from his marriage to Justine Wilson. Already a full house, right?

But wait, there’s more. With Grimes, he had X Æ A-Xii (yes, the one with the unpronounceable name), plus a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl. Then, in a surprise twist, he reportedly fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive. And just this year, rumors and reports suggest a third child with Zilis. The guy is basically building a miniature population.

Don’t forget, Elon isn’t the only Musk with kids. Maye’s other son, Kimbal, is a food entrepreneur (and way more low-key than his brother). He has two children, meaning Maye gets to babysit some normal kids who aren’t named after an alphabet soup. Meanwhile, Maye’s daughter, Tosca, has two kids of her own via surrogacy. So, the grandparent tally breaks down like this: 12 from Elon, 2 from Kimbal, 2 from Tosca. That’s a full soccer team plus a bench, my friend.

Ironic side comment: Maye often jokes that she’s “just a grandmother” who happens to grace the covers of magazines. But imagine the emotional workload. She attends tech conferences for Elon’s kids and film festivals for Tosca’s. Talk about range.

How Does Maye Keep Track?

You might wonder how a 76-year-old supermodel remembers fourteen birthdays. According to interviews, she uses digital calendars and a lot of post-it notes—which is both relatable and hilarious. She’s admitted that she sometimes mixes up names but blames it on “senior moments.” Oh, Maye, we feel you.

She also doesn’t push for family reunions. Instead, she sees them in small groups, often at her favorite sushi restaurant. “I can’t have all fourteen at once,” she told a reporter, “they’d break my apartment!” Imagine that scene: a dozen kids running around, probably inventing the next Tesla battery from leftover chopsticks.

One of the funniest contradictions is Maye’s own life advice. She wrote a book called A Woman Makes a Plan, where she preaches discipline and routine. And yet, her son Elon is famously chaotic, having kids with overlapping timelines. It’s like she raised a tornado and then handed him a baby-making spreadsheet. But hey, she rolls with it—literally, while walking a runway in heels.

Side note to you, dear reader: If you ever feel overwhelmed by your own two kids, just think of Maye. By the time you finish this article, she’s possibly gained another grandchild via some moon colony. It’s a comforting perspective.

What Does It All Mean?

At the end of the day, the number “fourteen” is just a statistic. What matters is that Maye Musk, with her signature white hair and unshakeable optimism, treats each grandkid as a unique adventure. She’s posted photos of X Æ A-Xii playing with his siblings, captioning them with emojis and laughing at the chaos. That’s the real story: a grandmother who embraces the absurdity of her own fame.

So, the next time you see Elon Musk tweet something wild, remember there’s a kid in the background asking their grandmother for a snack. And Maye, bless her heart, is probably handing them a healthy snack because she’s a dietitian who doesn’t play games. Fourteen grandkids, one supermodel, zero sugar crashes. That’s the Musk way.

Now, go hug your own grandma—or at least send her a text. She loves you even if you only have half her grandkids’ names memorized.
