- Walter Isaacson’s recent biography of the Tesla and SpaceX boss revealed more about Justine, who Musk met when he was 19 at Queen’s University in Ontario, and married in the Caribbean.
- The two lived in a 6,000 sq ft house in Bel Air and had five kids together, Griffin, Jenna, Damian, Kai and Saxon – Justine, an author, also published her first novel Bloodangel in 2005.
Justine Musk is a fantasy author from Canada. She’s also Elon Musk’s ex-wife and the mother of five of his children.
Most recently, besides posting about writing and literature on X (formerly Twitter), she took to the social media platform to voice her opinion about the US presidential elections – lambasting Donald Trump, in particular.
She wrote, “Electing a man for president of the United States even though he has an admitted history of sexually harassing women and has been found guilty of sexual assault and defamation in a court of law, seems the very definition of rape culture. Just saying.”

Little information is publicly available about her early life, with most coverage focusing on her relationship with Elon, now the world’s richest person who serves as CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. Justine lifted the lid on their turbulent relationship in an explosive Marie Claire column in 2010. Walter Isaacson’s recent biography of the tech mogul cast further light on the couple’s time together.
Justine Musk was born in 1972 as Jennifer Justine Wilson and grew up in Peterborough, Ontario, around 13km (80 miles) northeast of Toronto. She studied at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, where she majored in English literature. It was here, when she was 18, that she met the then-19-year-old Elon.
