A new biography on Twitter, now X, owner, Elon Musk has been making waves across the internet. Written by journalist Walter Isaason, the book is yet to arrive in the public domain.

Elon Musk and Grimes’ third son
According to The New York Times, its review of the book says that Musk and Grimes welcomed their third child, namely Techno Mechanicus, also called Tau, in secret. The couple are parents to two children. Grimes and Musk famously named their first child X Æ A-12. Born on May 4, 2020, the son was then renamed to X Æ A-Xii. Elon had once said that they had given the nickname ‘X’ to their firstborn. Later in December 2021, the couple welcomed their second child. The daughter was born to a surrogate. And the couple named her Exa Dark Sideræl, who was given the nickname ‘Y.’
Not only this, the NYT’s post also mentions more about Grimes’ comments on Musk’s anger. In one of the lines, it is stated that Musk’s angry behavior is like his ‘demon mode.’ Moreover, this ’causes a lot of chaos.’

Elon Musk is a father to nine children and has been with three women in the past. One of these women is Shivon Zilis, who holds an executive position at Neuralink. In 2021, Zilis gave birth to twins, a unique situation as Musk had volunteered to be her sperm donor to ensure the children shared his genetic makeup. His motivation behind this unconventional arrangement was his strong desire for intelligent individuals to carry forward his genetic legacy. Interestingly, the twins were born while Musk and Grimes, his partner at the time, were expecting their second child together.
