从电影制片人姐姐托斯卡（Tosca）到女演员前妻塔拉拉·赖利（Talulah Riley），马斯克的家族出了很多的企业家和叛逆者。现在，特斯拉和SpaceX的首席执行官马斯克（Musk）家族又添加了一个新成员：他和与音乐家女友Grimes的孩子（是个男孩）在五月出生了。
但是即使在他的新孩子出生之前，马斯克（他出生于南非比勒陀利亚，然后移民加拿大，最后移居加利福尼亚）已经有了一个庞大的直系大家庭，其中包括两个前妻，一对双胞胎和一组三胞胎。

- Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has a large family that includes multiple millionaire entrepreneurs and several sets of twins.
- Musk has been married twice and has six sons, including a baby boy with his partner, the musician Grimes.
- Musk also has two siblings, Kimbal and Tosca; his mother, Maye, is a model; and his cousins have sold two companies for millions of dollars.
Elon Musk has had a wild life, but he's not the only member of his family who launched businesses, made millions, or achieved fame.
Musk's family is chock-full of entrepreneurs and rebels, from his filmmaker sister Tosca to his actress ex-wife, Talulah Riley. Now, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has a new member of the family: a baby boy born in May with his girlfriend, the musician Grimes.
But even before his new baby, Musk - who was born in Pretoria, South Africa, before emigrating to Canada, and eventually, California - already had a large immediate family that included two ex-wives, a set of twins, and a set of triplets.
Here's a closer look at the Musk family tree.

Errol Musk, according to Elon, has a genius-level IQ and was reportedly the youngest person to earn a professional engineer's qualification in South Africa, according to a 2017 Rolling Stone profile.
When Elon was a child, he moved in with his dad after this parents divorced. At the time, Errol Musk was working in construction and emerald mining, according to Rolling Stone.
Today, Musk and Errol are estranged. The Tesla CEO told Rolling Stone that his father is "a terrible human being." "You have no idea about how bad," Musk said. "Almost every crime you can possibly think of, he has done."
