Let's find out more about Elon Musk's family and his relationships

The tech tycoon, Elon Musk, is a big family guy, which wouldn't be wrong to call him, as he has just welcomed his 14th child.

His mother was a model and dietician, whereas his father was an electromechanical engineer, pilot, consultant, and so on. Musk has two siblings: a younger sister, Tosca, and a younger brother, Kimbal.

Eventually, Musk moved to Canada in 1989, and from there, he shifted to America, where he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and later on pursued his professional career.
