Elon Musk—the billionaire genius behind Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink—is known for his bold visions, controversial statements, and unconventional personal life. But beyond the rockets and electric cars, Musk is also the father of at least 14 children.

Yet, recent whispers and online debates suggest that Musk might have a clear preference for his sons over his daughters. Some mothers of his daughters have hinted that their girls don’t receive the same privileges, attention, or opportunities as their male siblings.

So, is Elon Musk truly favoring his sons? Or is this just speculation? Let’s dive into the details.

Elon Musk’s Growing Family – A Quick Breakdown

Elon Musk has been notoriously private about his family life, but here’s what we know about his children:

With his first wife, Justine Musk:

Nevada (passed away as an infant)
Twins: Griffin & Vivian (born 2004)
Triplets: Kai, Saxon & Damian (born 2006)

With musician Grimes:

X Æ A-12 (aka “X”) (born 2020)
Exa Dark Sideræl (aka “Y”) (born 2021)
Techno Mechanicus (aka “Tau”) (born unknown year)

With Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis:

Twins Strider & Azure (born 2021)

Notice something? Musk has multiple sons and daughters. But according to recent claims, his daughters are not receiving the same level of attention or opportunities.

The “Boy Bias” – What the Mothers Are Saying

Vivian Musk’s Story: The Daughter Who Cut Ties with Elon

Perhaps the biggest evidence of a strained father-daughter dynamic is Musk’s relationship with his transgender daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson.

In 2022, Vivian legally changed her name to remove “Musk” and declared that she wanted nothing to do with her father. She cited:
Her gender identity (Musk has made controversial statements about trans issues)
Her desire to separate from her father’s influence entirely

Musk’s response? He blamed “woke culture” for turning his daughter against him. Instead of trying to mend the relationship, he doubled down on his views.

Could this be proof that Musk struggles to connect with his daughters, especially when they don’t align with his ideals?

Grimes vs. Musk – A Battle Over Their Daughter

In 2023, Grimes took legal action against Musk regarding the custody of their children, including their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl (Y).

While Musk often parades his son “X” at SpaceX events, Tesla meetings, and even interviews, little is seen or heard about “Y.”

Did Musk not want a daughter? Or is he simply prioritizing his sons for his legacy and business empire?

Shivon Zilis’ Daughter: Another Overlooked Girl?

Shivon Zilis, an executive at Musk’s Neuralink, secretly had twins with Musk in 2021—one boy and one girl.

Once again, public appearances and reports mostly highlight their son, Strider. Little is known about their daughter, Azure.

Is this a pattern?

Elon Musk’s Views on Legacy and Gender

Musk has openly stated that he believes in having many children to “save humanity.” But does he think his sons are the key to that future?

Some past comments suggest Musk holds traditional or even outdated views on gender roles.

He has praised “strong men” in history while rarely mentioning powerful women.
He named his AI chatbot “Grok” after a hyper-intelligent male character.
He often tweets about teaching his sons engineering and science—but not his daughters.

Does Musk see his sons as the future of his empire, while his daughters remain in the background?

Counterarguments – Is This Just a Misinterpretation?

To be fair, there are other possible explanations for Musk’s behavior:

 He’s Extremely Busy – Musk runs multiple billion-dollar companies and doesn’t have time for any of his kids, regardless of gender.
 His Sons May Be More Interested in His Work – If his sons naturally take an interest in Tesla and SpaceX, it makes sense that they’re more visible.
 Privacy Concerns – Maybe Musk is protecting his daughters from public exposure.

However, these points don’t fully explain why there’s a noticeable imbalance in how he treats his sons vs. his daughters.

Final Thoughts: Is Musk Really Favoring His Sons?

While we can’t say for certain, there’s strong evidence that Musk prioritizes his sons over his daughters.

 Vivian cut ties with him completely
 Grimes is fighting for more involvement in their daughter’s life
 His sons are frequently seen with him, while his daughters remain in the shadows

Whether intentional or not, Musk’s behavior raises questions about his views on fatherhood and gender.
