Age, Early Life, and Education Background
Kai Musk was born in the USA under the Capricorn zodiac sign on 1 January 2006, which makes him 17 years old as of 2023. He was born to the aforementioned tech magnate, who is the CEO of Tesla, Inc. and SpaceX, and his ex-wife Justine Wilson, who is a Canadian author. Kai is one of Musk’s triplets (born together with Saxon and Damian) and his other three siblings are the twins Vivien Jenna Musk and Griffin Musk, who were born in 2004, and the late Nevada Alexander Musk, who succumbed to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in 2002 when he was barely 10 weeks old. Kai’s parents divorced in September 2008, when he was two years old. His mother has revealed that he divorced Musk because their marriage was unhealthy, claiming that Musk often dismissed her career ambitions, and treated her like a trophy wife.
Kai has five half-siblings from his father’s relationship with the Canadian venture capitalist, Shivon Alice Zilis (the twins Strider and Azure, who were born through IVF) and the Canadian singer-songwriter and musician, Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher (X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, and Techno Mechanicus Musk, who is Elon’s youngest son born in June 2022).
Musk was raised in a high-profile family, and so his upbringing was very different from other children’s. Instead of attending traditional schools, Kai was educated in a unique educational system, attending Astra Nova School, which was created at SpaceX by his father. The school served just 50 students, providing education and training aligned with the swiftly evolving world.
