Elon Musk and ex-wife Justine’s first child died in 2002
Elon Musk’s father has made a cruel claim about the sudden death of his grandson.
The Tesla founder, 53, shares his eldest children with his ex-wife Justine, as the pair were married from 2000 to 2008.
Twins Vivian and Griffin were born in 2004, while triplets Kal, Saxon and Damian were born in 2006.
However, their first child, Nevada, tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome at just 10 weeks old in 2002.
During an episode of South African podcast Wide Awake, Musk’s father Errol claimed that Nevada spent ‘too much time’ in the care of nannies.
“The first child was too much with nannies,” he said.
“They were too rich, [had] too many nannies… then he had five children with the same woman – five sons all brought up, each one had its own nanny. You following me?
“When they got divorced, the nannies were six on this side and six on that side. So it was a really weird situation.”
Musk previously addressed his child’s death in a tweet, which read: “My firstborn child died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat.
“I have no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics or fame.”
Wilson said of her child’s death in a 2010 essay for Marie Claire: “Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing. By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead.
“He spent three days on life support in a hospital in Orange County before we made the decision to take him off it. I held him in my arms when he died.”
This comes as author Ashley St. Clair claimed she had given birth to Musk’s 13th child five months ago, adding: “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.

The Tesla CEO has faced more intense public scrutiny than ever after President Trump appointed him to a newly created role in his government, with an aim to overhaul public spending and bureaucracy.
Musk’s daughter Vivian slammed her father after he was accused of doing a Nazi salute at Donald Trump’s inauguration last month (January 20).
Without naming her dad, she tweeted: “I’m just gonna say let’s call a spade a f**king spade.
“Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade.”
She added: “I don’t know why y’all are reacting with such vigour, I’m clearly only talking about card suits.
“I mean I have ADHD and this was CLEARLY just an accident that people happened to interpret to mean something other than just card suits.
“After all, there’s no proof I’m not just talking about card suits. Y’know… people assuming that I’m not just talking about card suits just goes to show how dishonest people/the media can be.
“For those who can read between the lines, do y’all understand how f**king easy this is to do? “Plausible deniability honey. Just saying.”
Musk has denied the claims he made an antisemitic gesture, writing on X: “Frankly, they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired.”
