Elon Reeve Musk FRS (/ˈiːlɒn/ EE-lon; born June 28, 1971) is an entrepreneur and business magnate. He is the founder, CEO, and chief engineer at SpaceX; early stage investor, CEO, and product architect of Tesla, Inc.; founder of The Boring Company; and co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI. A centibillionaire, Musk is one of the richest people in the world.

Personal life Musk met his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, while attending Queen's University. They married in 2000 and separated in 2008. Their first child, son Nevada Alexander Musk, died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at the age of 10 days. They share custody of their five surviving children.

In 2008, Musk began dating English actress Talulah Riley, and in 2010, the couple married. In 2012, Musk announced a divorce from Riley. In 2013, Musk and Riley remarried. In December 2014, Musk filed for a second divorce from Riley; however, the action was withdrawn. A second divorce was finalized in 2016. Musk then dated Amber Heard for several months in 2017; he had reportedly been pursuing her since 2012. Musk was later accused of having an affair with Heard while she was still married to Johnny Depp.

In May 2018, Musk and Canadian musician Grimes revealed that they were dating. Grimes gave birth to their son in May 2020. According to Musk and Grimes, his name was "X Æ A-12"; however, the name would have violated California regulations as it contained characters that are not in the modern English alphabet, and was then changed to "X Æ A-Xii". This drew more confusion, as Æ is not a letter in the modern English alphabet. The child was eventually named "X AE A-XII", with "X" as a first name and "AE A-XII" as a middle name.

From the early 2000's until late 2020, Musk resided in California where both Tesla and SpaceX were founded and where their headquarters are still located. In 2020, Musk moved to Texas, stating that California had become "complacent" with its economic success.

While hosting Saturday Night Live in May 2021, Musk said that he has Asperger's syndrome.

Elon and his "Swasticar"

edit

The term "Swasticar" has been used in satirical campaigns targeting Elon Musk, linking his actions and political endorsements to far-right ideologies.

These campaigns criticize Musk for his public support of controversial figures like Tommy Robinson, a far-right British activist, and his endorsement of Germany's far-right political party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD).

Additionally, Musk faced backlash for a gesture at Donald Trump's inauguration that some interpreted as a nazi germany|Nazi salute, though he has denied any such intent.

These elements have fuelled protests and boycotts at Tesla car dealerships, with groups using the term "Swasticar" to highlight their concerns about Musk's influence and political affiliations.

“Tell that to Earth.”
(What Space X ultimately contributes to space travel might please the government in other ways.) One of the significant innovations of Falcon V is that because it's got five engines on the main stage, it can actually lose an engine and reach orbit safely, ... If the space shuttle were to lose one of its solid rocket boosters the people on the shuttle would be doomed.
is analogous to building part of an airplane in a factory and part of the airplane on the runway. You can imagine that's a pretty expensive way to split the construction so the fact that we can just do the entire integrated rocket, transport it as a single unit, that definitely reduces costs.
