Elon Musk and Grimes welcome another baby into their family
Elon Musk’s forthcoming biography by Walter Isaacson has unveiled more than just the billionaire inventor’s life story: it also confirms the arrival of his new baby. Musk and his partner, Claire Boucher, known famously as Grimes, have been blessed with a new baby boy two years after the birth of their twins. The boy, named Techno Mechanicus, is the third child of this couple and Musk’s eleventh child overall. Techno Mechanicus has been affectionately nicknamed ‘Tau’. The other children Musk shares with Grimes are their son X Æ A-Xi, born in 2020, and referred to as X, and their daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, born in 2021, and known as Y.
The forthcoming biography, due to be released on September 11th, is reviewed by The New York Times where the revelation about the latest addition to the Musk family was made. No further information has been given about Tau, including his birthplace or birthdate. It is also yet to be confirmed whether more details about him will be found in the upcoming biography.
Grimes discusses her non-traditional relationship with Musk and their journey through surrogacy
The couple’s journey to parenthood has not been entirely traditional. Grimes confirmed that she had chosen to go through surrogacy for her second pregnancy, likely the same for Tau’s birth, after experiencing complications during her first pregnancy with X. Talking to Vanity Fair in 2022, the singer revealed the physical difficulties she faced while pregnant with X, including frequent collapsing due to nerve pressure from the baby, and severe hemorrhage.
The romance shared by Musk and Grimes has often deviated from the conventional. They have been seen together even after their split during Grimes’ surrogate pregnancy with their second child. Their current status is a fluid one, as Grimes illuminates their unique bond, “There’s no real word for it. I would probably refer to him as my boyfriend, but we’re very fluid. We live in separate houses. We’re best friends. We see each other all the time…. We just have our own thing going on, and I don’t expect other people to understand it.”
As a concluding comment, we extend our congratulations to the couple on the birth of their third child, baby Tau.
