Saxon Musk is the son of a famous engineer and entrepreneur, Elon Musk. Elon is the co-founder of Paypal and Tesla Inc.

His Parents’ Love Story

His parents Elon Musk and Justine Musk first met at the University of Ontario, Canada. Although it was the first time Elon met Justine, he felt something for her. 

He then pursued her for dates.

Both of them completed their graduation and then walked off to different destinations to achieve their dreams. 

Justine was interested in writing, so she started working on her novel. 

On the other hand, the business tycoon moved to Silicon Valley to work on his first dot-com company called Zip2.

Two months before their wedding, they had an appointment with a lawyer who was going to help them with the financial agreement. 

In one of the essays in Marie Claire, Justine has written, 

“Although I’d been dating a struggling 20-something entrepreneur, I was now engaged to a wealthy one.”

She also wrote, 

“I made uneasy jokes that he was about to dump me for a supermodel. Instead, he proposed, getting down on bended knee on a street corner.”

The loving duo got married in 2000.

Saxon Has Four Brothers

Saxon is not the only child of his parents. He has four siblings whose names are Griffin, Xavier, Damian and Kai.

His brothers Griffin and Xavier Musk are twins.  He and his brothers Damian and Kai share the same birthday date.

His relationship with His Father

He shares an incredible bond of love with his father. His father is concerned about his and other children’s futures. 

Elon wants to make sure that his children learn the importance of work from an early age. 

He often takes his children to his factories in California. He once posted a photo with one of his children in the Tesla Design Center.

 Here is the picture shared by Elon with a caption, 

“Elon Musk and his son.”

His son can be seen holding a rocket in his hand. It seems like he is going to be the next CEO of SpaceX. 

Here is another picture of Elon with his other children who are busy working on their model of car. They are playing in front of a clay mockup of the Model S in the Tesla Design Center. 

Why Saxon’s dad Elon was too shy to talk to anyone?

As Saxon’s father, Elon is a big name in the industry, but Elon has said that he was very much shy to speak in front of anyone. 

In one of his interviews with Business Core, he was asked what was the one thing that has surprised him about his life? 

He giggled and replied with an interesting answer. Elon said he was surprised by the whole thing. He then elaborated, stating that he certainly did not expect any of the things that happened throughout his life. 

He knew that he had been interested in technologies since the beginning of his career. He shared there were only a few companies back in 1995 related to the internet. 

But among those few, he couldn’t get a job from them. Elon said that he was too shy to talk to the people around him. That’s why he thought of starting his own business.
