It looks like Elon Musk and his partner Grimes (real name Claire Elise Boucher) are now parents of a new boy.
Musk announced the news on Twitter. After tweeting about something completely independent (EPA test on the Tesla Model S), someone asked Musk for news about the baby. First he replied “a few hours away”, then later “Mama & Baby all well”.

Musk later confirmed that the baby was a boy.
The recording artist Grimes had initially pointed to a pregnancy on Instagram, with one cryptic image with a baby photoshoppting on her body but later confirmed her pregnancy in an interview with Rolling Stone. She also spoke on social media about pregnancy issues in her second trimester, saying she felt “ill-prepared” because pregnancy was not as “visible or discussed” as it should be.
It was a big day for Musk Tom Cruise would make a film in space with his company SpaceX and NASA.
Musk and Tesla representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
