Elon Musk has a third child with his former partner Grimes whose identity has been a closely guarded secret, a new biography has revealed.
The child, named Techno Mechanius, is the Tesla CEO’s 10th child with three women.
The boy’s age has has not been disclosed. Mr Musk, 52, dated the 35-year-old Canadian electro music star, who was born Claire Boucher, on-and-off between 2018 and 2022.
Walter Isaacson confirmed the couple had a third child in his biography Elon Musk due to be released next week, according to a review in the New York Times.
The couple’s first child, a boy named X Æ A-Xii, or X, was born in 2020. In March, they announced the birth of a girl Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, nicknamed Y.
The couple reportedly separated last year.
Excerpts released from Mr Issacson’s biography have contained a series of bombshell revelations about the eccentric billionaire’s personal life and involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war.
In an extract obtained by CNN, it was revealed that Mr Musk ordered SpaceX engineers to cut off Ukrainian access to Starlink satellites near the Crimean coast to prevent a surprise drone attack on Russian warships.
On 6 September, Mr Isaacson posted the first images of Mr Musk with Shivon Zilis – the Neuralink executive with whom he welcomed twins in November 2021- and their two children.

That photo prompted Grimes to accuse Mr Musk of not allowing her to see their son X in a since deleted post on the social media platform X.
“Tell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or plz [sic] respond to my lawyer,” Grimes reportedly wrote.
“I have never even been allowed to see a photo of these children until this moment, despite the situation utterly ripping my family apart.”
