Having a parent in common makes them half siblings not step... Weirdly, his relationships and children sound like a plot to a sci-fi movie... creepy

[cdemr]

I believed his family tree to be crazy but this transcended my expectations lol

[doggo]

Wait... So Lucy married Harry Musk, she had a child that she named Walter. Then Harry happened to die the same year that the child was bornt, and Lucy remarried not soon after to a guy, who coincidentally had the same name as her son....

I could make this into a murder novel with a bit of imagination

[samhunter]

That’s a incredible messy family dynamic

[lightyagami]

For not wanting to have anything to do with his father (which is totally understandable after hearing some of the stories Elon has told about him) he does take after his dad in some the weirdest ways possible.

[seamusfinnerty]

this is a really weird family, even the parts that have nothing to do with elon. in vitro affairs, a 70 year old in a relationship with his step daughter, a technocrat, so many marriages and divorces, kids with weird names. tf is going on in south africa & canada?

[travcollier]

Doing a 'geneolgy' of the companies Musk has significant stakes in would be interesting... And complicated.

[hamnchee]

I knew Elon was a busy man, but I didn't know he was this busy.

[noahburns]

Elon is a weird man, this really puts it into perspective

4:34 - As a canadian, the moment you said "A Political Movement in the 1930s in the Praries" I knew it would be social credit.

[vjay]

There was a particular family who had very high political influence in India - the Gandhi family- who adopted the Gandhi name. Sonia Gandhi who was an Italian by birth had the supreme power in indian politics as the president of the Indian National Congress, a social democratic political party, which has governed India for most of its post-independence history. it would be quite interesting to see the history as a chart.

Just to clarify, Musk didnt found paypal, when he left the company one of the conditions was that he was listed as a founder

[jordang]

The ending with secret twins was a surprise for me. So many questions about that... Well one, why have secret twins when you've already got 7 kids?

[nekoneko]

I was wondering why most of his children were twins/triplets, but of course IVF was the answer... I wouldn't be surprised if there are even more children, Exa and the twins got revealed randomly...

[tvalid]

I can honestly say that this was the scariest family tree I have ever seen you explore

[megagodsavageredlion]

Elon Musk truly has the most bizarre family tree I’ve ever seen. It’s like a migraine trying to figuring it all out lol

[exdus]

Kudos to whomever created that very clear, concise family chart. So much information yet so easy to follow. Love that there was no music overlay and that the narration was slow enough to allow the graphics time to flow. The highlight colored boardering lines was a novel touch. Absolutely love the presentation. 👍👍

[lionelhutz]

I have a suspicion that Harry Musk wasn't the father of Walter Musk. The fact, that he was born in 1917, the year his "father" died quite old, he is named "Walter", and his mother married a Walter shortly after Harry passed away is sus.

@UsefulCharts I don't know if you've ever seen the German tv series called Dark but it would be a really interesting show to do family trees for all of the characters!
