Elon Musk’s ex challenges his account of their son’s death: ‘I was the one holding him’ | Daily Mail Online
Justine says she was the one who held their son as he emitted the ‘death rattle’
Musk’s first ex-wife, Justine, contradicted her ex’s account of the tragedy
Musk said that he held his 10-week-old son as he took his last breaths and that he has no sympathy for anyone using the deaths of children for gain
Last week, Musk said that experiencing his first son’s death from SIDS was part of the reason he won’t allow Alex Jones back on Twitter
Elon Musk’s first ex-wife Justine Musk took to Twitter last week to overturn the SpaceX founder’s account of the final moments of their infant son’s life.
Justine Musk, with whom Elon shares five living children, wrote that it was she and not her ex who held their 10-week-old son Nevada in her arms as he was taken off life support.
Nevada Alexander Musk, the couple’s first child together, tragically died at just two-and-half months after a sudden infant death syndrome episode.
Last week, Elon commented on the tragedy of losing his first born as he explained his decision not to allow Sandy Hook elementary shooting conspiracy theorist Alex Jones back on Twitter.
Musk, who recently assumed control of the short form social posting platform, wrote, ‘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,’ he added.
When another user asked whether the infant had died of SIDS, it was Justine who responded, ‘A SIDS-related incident that put him on life support. He was declared brain-dead.’
‘And not that it matters to anyone except me, because it is one of the most sacred and defining moments of my life, but I was the one who was holding him,’ she added, slashing through her ex’s account of the last moments of their baby’s life.
Another commenter responded to Justine, ‘Dad always wants to get credits, but, that should, actually, goes to mom. I believe it is the mom who felt the last heartbeat [sic].’ To which the author responded, ‘not the last heartbeat. The death rattle.’
‘The details are just really important to me,’ she followed up with later.

Musk has reinstated several high-profile Twitter accounts in recent days but says he will not allow Jones back on the site

In a Marie Claire essay after she and Elon separated, Justine recounted Nevada’s death.
She wrote: ‘By the time 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.’
Musk has nine children. He and Justine, a fiction writer who has published several fantasy novels, went on to have five more children together before divorcing in 2008.
Musk also shares two young children with singer Grimes and is the father of twins with Shivon Zilis, a director at one of his companies Neuralink.
One of Musk’s children recently filed to legally change her name and gender to Vivian Jenna Wilson.
The 18-year-old told the court the name change was partly to distance herself from her father, the world’s richest man.
Musk said at the time: ‘It may change, but I have very good relationships with all the others. Can’t win them all.’

Musk recently declared he would grant ‘amnesty’ for suspended twitter account as long as users have not broken the law or spammed others.
He arrived at that conclusion the same way that he determined he should allow Trump back on the platform – a sitewide poll.
Posted last Wednesday, the poll asked ‘Should Twitter offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, provided that they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam?’
Some 72.4 percent of voters said yes, while 27.6 percent said no. There were 3,162,112 votes cast during the 24-hour poll.
Musk said on Thursday: ‘The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.’ The Latin phrase means ‘the voice of the people is the voice of God’.
The declaration opens up the possibility that thousands of suspended accounts will be immediately reinstated. It’s not yet clear whether there will be a vetting process before accounts are reactivated, or whether Twitter will simply take a broad brush approach and restore all of them at once.
In a recent explanation of his policy on account suspensions, Musk said: ‘New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.
‘Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.
‘You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet.’
He added: ‘Note, this applies just to the individual tweet, not the whole account.

Nevada
Elon Musk and his first wife, Canadian Justine Wilson had their first son, Nevada, in 2002.
But Nevada died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks.

Twins Griffin and Vivian Jenna Wilson (formerly Xavier), aged 18
After losing Nevada, Musk and Wilson – who were married between 2000 and 2008 – turned to IVF to grow their family.
Wilson gave birth to twin sons Griffin and Xavier Musk in April 2004.
In April, Xavier filed court documents seeking to legally change from male to female and lose their last name, stating: ‘I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.’
Xavier Musk, 18, filed the paperwork in Santa Monica, California, on April 18, seeking to be known as Vivian Jenna Wilson, taking the maiden name of her mother Justine Wilson, who was married to Musk from 2000 to 2008 and shares 18-year-old twins Xavier and Griffin and 16-year-old triplets Damian, Kai and Saxon.
The transgender teenager explained that they wish to take their mother’s last name to distance them from their dad but they have not commented on whether they receive financial support from their dad – whose $213 billion dollar fortune makes him the world’s richest man.

Musk and Wilson also used IVF to have triplet sons Damian, Kai and Saxon in January 2006.

X AE A-Xii Musk, aged 2
Musk started dating singer Grimes in May 2018 and she gave birth to their son X AE A-Xii, in May 2020.
Their son was originally named X Æ A-12, but ‘Æ’ and ’12’ violated California law, which prohibits the use of any numbers of symbols in a name. The couple then changed the spelling of their son’s name.
Instead of X Æ A-12, they revealed just a few weeks after the baby was born that his birth certificate would be registered under the name X AE A-Xii – using the Roman numeral version of the number ’12’ and changing the character æ to AE.
The couple then broke up in September 2021.

Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, who goes by Y, aged 1
Grimes and Musk later welcomed their first daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, via surrogate in December 2021.
Grimes referred to Musk as her ‘boyfriend’ in a Vanity Fair interview, but after the interview was published, she took to Twitter to reveal that they had since broken up.
‘Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article,’ she wrote on March 10. ‘But he’s my best friend and the love of my life.’
New set of twins, names unknown
It has emerged that Musk quietly had twins with one of his top executives weeks before he welcomed a child with Grimes via surrogate.
In November, the Tesla CEO, 51, reportedly had twins with Shivon Zilis, 36, the director of operations at Musk’s brain-machine interface company Neuralink, Insider reported. He now has nine known children.
Musk and Zilis filed a petition in April to change the twins’ names in order to ‘have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name,’ according to the court documents.
The twins were born in November, just weeks before Musk and Claire Boucher, the musician who performs as Grimes, had their second child via surrogate in December.
