A 40-year-old man from Kenya, Nyakundi Kibiru, went viral after announcing that he was the firstborn son of Elon Musk. He claims he was born long before Musk's 14 other children and insisted his mother had a brief relationship with a '20-year-old Musk' in the early 1990s. According to his account, the pair met while his mother was working at a hotel in Masai Mara, prompting him to request a DNA test.

Elon Musk has fourteen children with four different women, though one of his children with his first wife died in infancy. With his first wife, Justine Wilson, he had six children, including twins Vivian Jenna Wilson and Griffin Musk, born in 2004 and now about twenty-one years old, as well as triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian Musk, born in 2006 and now around nineteen. He also shares three children with musician Grimes: X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.
