Maye Musk’s Grandchildren: How Many Does Elon Musk’s Mother Have?

So, you’re curious about Maye Musk’s grandchildren—the little humans who call the world’s most famous tech mogul “grandpa”? Well, grab a cup of tea, because the numbers are as surprising as a sudden pop quiz. Maye, the glamorous 76-year-old model and dietitian, has ten grandchildren. Yes, ten! That’s a full soccer team, plus a substitute. Elon Musk, her eldest son (and the guy who tweets about rockets like we tweet about brunch), is the father of three of them: twins Griffin and Xavier (now Vivian, after her transition), and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. But wait—Elon has also welcomed an eleventh child recently? That’s a whole other plot twist for another article.

The other seven grandchildren come from Maye’s two other children: Kimbal Musk, the foodie entrepreneur (because someone in the family has to cook), and Tosca Musk, the filmmaker who probably screened bedtime stories before they were cool. Kimbal has three kids, and Tosca has four—giving Maye a built-in fan club for her birthday parties. “They’re all so different,” she’s joked during interviews, which is code for “I have a spreadsheet of who likes which cereal.” Between Tesla test drives, SpaceX launches, and family barbecues, Maye manages to spoil each grandkid rotten. Half of them are under 18, so you can bet she’s the grandma who smuggles candy and overpays for lemonade stands.

Here’s the kicker: Maye herself is a supermodel who raised three genius kids while working full-time. Now, she’s living proof that grandchildren are the ultimate reward for surviving parenthood. So next time you see Elon launch a rocket, remember: somewhere, there’s a ten-year-old named Kai who’s way more impressed by his grandma’s cookie recipe. And honestly? That’s the sweetest space race of all. Here’s to Maye—a woman who traded rocket fuel for giggles, and never looked back. Family, it turns out, is the only launch pad that truly matters. Now go call your own grandma—she’s probably got cookies, too.
