His name was Nevada.
The first child of Elon Musk and his ex-wife (from 2000 to 2008), the Canadian novelist Justine Wilson, had indeed died at the age of 10 weeks, in 2002. A tragic disappearance, mentioned by the billionaire in a tweet written on Monday, November 21.
Elon Musk spoke out on the subject when he was challenged by Kim Dotcom, the creator of the site Megaupload (now inactive), who asked him to restore the Twitter account of host Alex Jones in "the interest of the freedom of expression".
The new owner has indicated his refusal.
The latter has, in fact, not digested that the far-right radio man qualifies the Sandy Hook massacre, in which 20 students and six educators lost their lives, of "staged".
“My first child died in my arms, wrote the founder of SpaceX.
I felt his last heartbeat.
I have no indulgence for anyone who uses the death of children for gain, politics or fame.”
Two days later, his former companion Justine Musk, however, wanted to restore the truth on his Twitter account.

She thus expressed herself in a questioning message, addressed to Elon Musk: “Did your baby die of sudden infant death syndrome?”
What the novelist replied: “From an incident related to the sudden death of the infant, after which he was placed on life support.
He was declared brain dead.”
Justine Musk, who met Elon Musk at Queen's University in Kingston, also insisted on correcting her ex-husband on the details of her son Nevada's last moments.
"Not that it matters to anyone except me, because it was one of the most sacred and defining moments of my life, but I was the one holding it in my arms," she added.
A message to which another Internet user replied: “The dad always wants to claim what should, in fact, go to the mom.
I believe it was the mother who felt the last heartbeat.”
“Not the last heartbeat, retorted Justine Musk.
The death rattle.”
During their union, Justine Wilson, who became an English teacher in Japan and then author of the

saga , and Elon Musk, gave birth to five children: Nevada, in 2002, twins Griffin and Vivian Jenna, in 2004, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, in 2006.
