Elon Musk's ex-wife shares nickname he allegedly calls the mothers of his 14 children
A new documentary about the world’s richest man is set to be released where it examines his public image and business career.
During the nearly four-hour film, various people in Elon Musk’s life, including some of his ex-wives, sit down to shed some light on the eccentric billionaire.
Musk’s first wife, Justine Wilson, shared details about the tech mogul’s conduct, including how he refers to the mothers of his 14 children as ‘breeders, according to AFP news agency.
Wilson was married to the Tesla boss from 2000 to 2008 and the former couple share six children together - their firstborn, Nevada - died at 10 weeks old in 2002.

According to Wilson, who is an author, during the first dance at their wedding, Musk informed her that he was the 'alpha' in the relationship, adding that it was during their marriage that she learned about the concept of 'gaslighting'.
The pair met when they were both students at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, and are parents to twins Vivian and Griffin and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian.
Musk reportedly has had 14 children with four different women including Wilson, singer Grimes, Shivon Zilis, and Ashley St Clair.
The mogul is often seen at public events accompanied by his six-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, who he shares with Grimes. This includes frequent trips to the White House and even a state visit to China alongside President Donald Trump.
It is not known how much Musk sees his other 13 children, although he has publicly shared about his strained relationship with daughter Vivian.
The doc, which is titled Musk, is directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney and premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday (September 8), before it is set for a theatrical release next month.
In the film, it argues that Musk is ‘aggregating power’ in dangerous ways, with Gibney having described the billionaire as ‘a confidence man whose power comes only from the stock market’.
It goes on to accuse him of being the ‘most miserable man’, with Gibney commenting that as Musk continues to gain more power, he is increasingly ‘no longer interested in checking his worst impulses’.
Both Musk and his mother, Maye Musk, previously hit out at these claims on social media, with his mother sharing a post on X, formerly Twitter.
The post, which was from The Hollywood Reporter, included a quote from Gibney which read: “Someone who worked closely with Elon told me, ‘He’s the most miserable man I’ve ever met.’ So he’s inflicting his misery on everyone else.”
Maye quoted this on her own X account, writing: “This is weird @THR “Someone who worked closely with Elon told me, ‘He’s the most miserable man I’ve ever met.’ I haven’t seen him miserable, but that’s just me. His mom.”
Musk himself weighed in on the matter by replying to his mother’s tweet. In the post he said: “I’m happy about half the time, somewhere in the middle about 40% and sad about 10% of the time.”
