As the son of the richest man in the world, information about Griffin Musk is always sought after and he is expected to continue to be successful like his father.
Billionaire Elon Musk has been married and divorced three times, and recently split from his new lover Amber Heard. The 46-year-old billionaire’s married life and love life have encountered many difficulties, but Elon Musk often keeps these secrets from the media.
According to Forbes, Elon Musk is currently the richest billionaire in the world with $219 billion, far ahead of Jeff Bezos in second place. Recently, news about the Tesla boss has attracted attention after his love affair with singer Grimes and his plan to buy Twitter.
As the richest man on the planet, the billionaire rarely shares information about his children on social media. Of Elon Musk’s 7 children, twins Griffin and Xavier are now 18 years old. In particular, Griffin is considered to have the most appearance similar to his father.
The eldest son looks exactly like his father.
Griffin Musk was born on April 15, 2004. He also has a twin brother named Xavier. The eldest son of the world’s richest billionaire does not often appear in the media. His images are often found in family photos posted by Elon Musk.
Griffin is the son of Elon Musk and his first wife, Justine Musk, a prominent Canadian author. Elon and Justine exchanged vows in January 2000. In fact, the two met in college when Musk was 19, while his ex-wife was just 18.

The two were also happily married for about eight years. However, their marriage did not last long as they announced their divorce in September 2008. Currently, Musk and his first wife share joint custody of their children.
Even though they broke up a long time ago, they are still good friends and good parents to their children.
Griffin and Xavier were conceived through in vitro fertilization. Griffin Musk rarely makes headlines, first appearing in the news in 2004 and then in 2008 when his parents divorced. He occasionally appears at events with his family.
At 18, Griffin is considered to be as handsome as his father. Comparing photos of him and Elon Musk when they were young, anyone can see the similarities between father and son. Not only that, the boy is already 1.72 meters tall. He inherited his mother’s blond hair and black eyes.

The boy received special education from a young age.
Unlike many other children, Griffin and his brothers attend a school called Ad Astra, created by their father. Musk co-founded the academy with retired teacher Joshua Dahn in 2014 to educate his own children and some of the children of SpaceX employees.
The name of the school Ad Astra is Latin for ‘to the stars’ – and its students have an average age of 10. Although the school has been known for some time, details about who can attend and how to apply remain a secret.
Some views describe the school as akin to a venture capital incubator.

Speaking about the school’s education system and the motivation for creating such a unique startup, the SpaceX founder said in his interview in Beijing, China: “I don’t care about having a degree. Instead of treating school as an assembly line, I think it makes more sense for children to be educated to match their own skills and abilities.”
The school has some unique teaching methods. According to the Daily Mail, the school allows students to skip subjects they don’t like, build flamethrowers and ‘defeat evil AI’.
The school currently has more than 40 students, including Elon Musk’s five high school-age sons. Griffin and the other kids who attend are more focused on courses like artificial intelligence, design, and coding than on music and sports.
The unique school is located in Bel-Air, Los Angeles. But since Musk sold his property there, he has yet to reveal exactly where it is.
Griffin is now 18 years old. However, his future plans have not been revealed. The media and interested people expect that under Elon Musk’s special education, he will continue to create breakthroughs like his father.
