7. His Son Is Another Comic Book Hero

While many people compare Elon Musk to Tony Stark, Musk himself wants to associate his son with another Marvel character. After the passing of their child in 2002, Justine Wilson and Elon would conceive twins in 2004. One of the children was named Griffin but the other one was named after the X-Men character Professor Charles Xavier.

Now 18, Xavier has a new gender identity and has legally changed their name to Vivian Jenna Wilson.

8. He’s From South Africa

Some may find it hard to place Elon’s accent, with many believing he is from the United States, but in fact, Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa, and would live there until he was 17. Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother and would eventually move to the US in 1992 to study at the University of Pennsylvania, the rest they say is history.
