Elon Musk never stuck to tradition just like that.

The founder of Tesla and SpaceX has always been able to bring his personal talent to everything he does. Love him or hate him, no one can deny that this man is definitely unique in the way he approaches life.

This uniqueness also applies to his parenting style.

Musk has twins Griffin and Xavier, 18, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, 16, with his ex-wife Justine. The couple also lost their first son, Nevada Alexander, at just 10 weeks old in 2002. Musk and ex-girlfriend Grimes also have a son, X AE A-XII, who turns two on May 4, and a daughter, Exa Dark Siderel, who was born in December 2021.

Here are 9 strict rules that Elon Musk's kids follow.

1. Elon Musk's children are expected to be his protégés

While Musk says he takes a backseat to raising kids until the kids are older, Grimes revealed in 2022 that he may have broken that rule for their son X.

The singer says her ex has high hopes for his young son. While Musk has always kept his older children out of the spotlight, in recent years the public has seen X.

“X is just there,” she says of her son, who is in the public eye. “I mean, I think Musk really sees him as a protégé and draws him to everything. This is his situation."

2. Elon Musk believes that his children can get an education on the Internet

Musk's take on education is very unconventional. During a live interview on an audio app called Clubhouse last year, Musk said he thinks his kids have learned more from the Internet than anywhere else.

“Well, in my observation, my kids mostly learned on YouTube and Reddit,” Musk said.

“I guess there were lessons too, but judging by the amount of time they spent on the Internet, it seemed like most of their education actually came from the Internet,” he says.

In the past, the CEO has openly criticized traditional education.

He said college is a bunch of "annoying homework" and he's not known to require his employees at Tesla to have a college degree.

“I think colleges are mostly about having fun and proving you can do your homework, but they're not about learning,” Musk said at a satellite conference in 2020.

3. Elon Musk's son is not allowed to call Grimes "mom"

Oddly enough, the one-year-old son of Musk and singer Grimes X does not call his mother "mom" or any other variation of the word.

Instead, X calls Grimes by her first name, Claire.

Grimes suggested that her son does this because he is so perceptive that he can feel her lack of desire to be called "mother".

“I don’t even know why I get disgusted when they call me “mother”, I like motherhood, I respect it, I just can’t, I can’t identify with it. It's weird," Grimes told Vogue in September.

4. Musk kids read more than they play video games.

Musk's childhood love of video games helped him develop the passion for programming that has served him so well in his career.

Naturally, Musk's own children followed suit and became avid video game players.

While Musk usually encourages his kids to pursue their favorite hobbies, he does have one very strict rule regarding play time.

In an interview with Ashley Vance for Musk's biography, the multibillionaire said kids should spend twice as much time reading as playing video games.

He says he does this so that kids don't get too attached to their screens.

5. Elon Musk believes that his children need to overcome difficulties in order to succeed.

Musk himself faced many challenges during his childhood and early adulthood. He moved from his native country of South Africa to Canada at the age of 17 without any parental support.

He was also bullied at school until the age of 15.

Although these difficulties were very difficult at the time, Musk credits them with helping him succeed and become the person he is today. Thus, he believes that his children must also experience some difficulties.

“I had a terrible upbringing,” Musk said at an awards ceremony in 2011. “There were many hardships in my childhood. One thing I worry about raising my children is that they don't face difficulties."

6. The Musk kids are very health conscious.

Musk encourages healthy eating in his family.

A nanny who once took care of his triplets while they spent time with a friend revealed in a TikTok video that the kids are very health conscious.

“We all went to dinner at Whole Foods. These children took great care of their health at such a young age. I was expecting Johnny Rockets or something, but they said, "No, let's go to Whole Foods."

She also described them as "well mannered". So it looks like manners are also an important practice in the Musk household.

7. Elon Musk's kids go to the school he opened

In line with his views on traditional education, Musk founded his own school, where students are taught the way he believes all children should be taught. His own children study at this school.

Musk mentioned that in 2014 he founded the Ad Astra school in Southern California, which means “to the stars” in Latin.

He went into more detail about the school in an interview with Chinese television that was subsequently deleted.

In an interview, he described the school as one that doesn't follow the traditional grading structure and places more emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving. Musk says he hated going to school as a kid, but his kids love going to the school he founded.

8. Elon Musk does not play an active role in the lives of his children while they are small.

In 2020, the billionaire revealed that he does not play a big role in raising his children when they are still babies.
Now that Musk's older sons are in their teens, they can expect to see him a lot more than they did when they were babies.

But as for his younger children, for the time being they will have to be content with the care of their mothers and nannies.

“Now there is little I can do. Grimes has a much bigger role than me now,” Musk told The New York Times.

“When the child grows up, I will have more roles. I just do what I do with my other kids,” he says.

9. Kids Mask must be prepared to travel a lot

In the same interview, Musk revealed that for his older sons, being his child means flying a lot.

“If I have a Tesla trip to China, for example, I will take the kids with me and we will go to see the Great Wall of China, or we will take the high-speed train from Beijing to Xian and see the Terracotta Warriors,” he explains.
