Mr Musk, who is the world's richest person as per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, is also one of the most followed personalities on social media. He has nearly 160,000 followers on Twitter. In recent times, he has also generated many tabloid headlines with his high-profile romances, his Twitter takeover and his recently released biography 'Elon Musk' by Walter Isaacson. 

Earlier this month, Mr Musk was also in the news after his ex-girlfriend Grimes sued him over the parental rights of their three children. According to PageSix, Grimes, whose legal name is Claire Boucher, filed a petition in San Francisco Superior Court to establish a parental relationship. She claimed that Mr Musk will not give her access to one of their children. Her request asks the court to identify the legal parents of a child when they are not married.

Mr Musk is a father to 10 living children with three different women. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has five children - Griffin, Vivian, Kai, Saxon and Damian - with Canadian author Justine Wilson. He also welcomed twins with Neuralink director of operations and special projects Shivon Zilis in November 2021 - one month before his second child with Grimes.
