I believed his family tree to be crazy but this transcended my expectations lol

[@Ronnet]

This tree explains a lot. We are a product of our environment and Musk is the offspring of a man he himself describes as "evil". And now one of his own children wants nothing to do with him anymore. History repeats. It's also ironic that Musk wants to populate the earth so he increases the amount of offspring by being a spermdonor. So he's a spermdonor to all but (potentially) a father to none.

[@teebosaurusyou]

It ain't over yet.

[@doggo7078]

Wait... So Lucy married Harry Musk, she had a child that she named Walter. Then Harry happened to die the same year that the child was bornt, and Lucy remarried not soon after to a guy, who coincidentally had the same name as her son.... I could make this into a murder novel with a bit of imagination

[@Vonononie]

It’s possible she named him after Walter later on. Names on birth certificates could be changed at christenings (I’m not sure if it’s allowed now). My grandmother’s name changed from her registration to her christening a year later

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

It is much more likely she named or renamed her son after the sons adoptive father to strengthen the bond and commitment between them.

[@seamusfinnerty5897]

this is a really weird family, even the parts that have nothing to do with elon. in vitro affairs, a 70 year old in a relationship with his step daughter, a technocrat, so many marriages and divorces, kids with weird names. tf is going on in south africa & canada?

so i got a question, how do you research for these family trees?

[@UsefulCharts]

Most of the info for this one was straight from the many news articles that have been written about him. Plus, some people from wikitree recently did some looking into his ancestry, so that helped.

[@ollied.7712]

The Targaryen family tree is way simpler than Elon's.

[@tutuanimacoes6220]

I read X Æ A-XII as Shel simply because I think it makes more sense The explanation is: One of the sounds X can make in portuguese(my nativa language) is a sh Æ makes the sound for words like cat, bat and mat A-XII I interpret as being the 12th letter of of the alphabet, which is L

The Theron line are descendants of the van shalkwyks of groot constantia. The farmhouse is now a posh hotel.

Someone you forgot to add was his daughter with Amber Heard, she wasn’t naturally conceived but technically he is still her biological father

[@Imzadi]

Has this been verified?

[@RenegadeShepard69]

Lmfao I stand by Depp with all the abuse he suffered but I like to think that he was just paranoid on that, just to make it better for me to sleep at night. Like what's the end goal here, If it's not even natural.... why would do you cheat on your husband in vitro? It's a really Sci fi way of fucking with the guy.

[@tjpprojects7192]

The only thing I care about with Musk is if SpaceX can complete Starship Superheavy.

[@cdemr]

The Falcon 9 is objectively cooler right now though, literally the best US rocket ever.

[@tjpprojects7192]

@@cdemr Hmmmmm.... Yeah, I can't disagree. Falcon 9 in general is an amazing launch platform, and Dragon has put human launch capability back into the hands of the U.S. while Starship however promising it may be, is still just a promise.

[@Draugtaur]

His family tree is almost as confusing as that of biblical characters

[@pipe2devnull]

Is your Twitter account still active?

[@UsefulCharts]

For now........

[@lilygg]

I noticed a couple of generations back in the South African side of his family, the surname Theron. As in Charlize Theron, who also happens to be from South Africa. Is that the same family, making them distant cousins?

[@lm_b5080]

its a pretty common surname in SA

[@bazan0448]

How were you able to put all this together?

[@chadbentoski5778]

George R.R. couldn't have written it better. "My uncle sibling called my dad evil! I'm telling mom, who is also his sister."

[@DieAlteistwiederda]

Honestly good for Vivian to change her name to her mom's maiden name. I wouldn't want to be related to this mess either. Elon seems to be just as horrible of a father as his own.

[@Larry-208]

His father had SEX with his stepdaughter! Twice! Not even close to Elon's relationships...

[@Stettafire]

Too many men are not proper father's but mere sperm donors who don't give a rats arse about their kids needs. Then they try to blame the mother's for when the kids want nothing to do with them. Some men clearly don't own a mirror

[@Andrea-Marie]

Thank you very much. How interesting. Would you mind to create a family tree about GREGORY PECK. He's supposed to have Armenian ancestors - that would be very interesting to me. Best Greetings from Austria.

[@fredriks5090]

Elon has a son named XÆA-12,- which means that they are Oak and Ash,- like in Pokèmon.

[@ropersonline]

7:44 is literally an adult entertainment plot device, for when the stepbro fiction isn't scandalous enough. I think UsefulCharts made a related video once. No, not adult entertainment. Something about a grandpa.

[@HistoryandHeadlines]

Wouldn't it be neat if Musk had a Usefulcharts poster framed in his house showing the Musk family tree?

[@UsefulCharts]

Indeed.

[@HistoryandHeadlines]

@@UsefulCharts 👍

[@lollertoaster]

He would never buy it, because it doesn't include the other dozens in-vitro babies he secretly had.

[@ropersonline]

Careful now. If you put a poster like that for sale, some car-jumping plane-chaser is going to buy it, and the police will find it in their bedroom later.

[@ScuffedToastTakesBongrips]

What are you doing step bruncle?

[@KO.42]

Elon just had another son named Tau Techno Mechanicus with Grimes.

[@U2beRejects]

What software do you use for these tree videos

[@basilfoxworth7089]

I can only speculate, but the way I did something similar was using DrawIO, importing those files into Adobe Illustrator, exporting those files to Adobe After Effects (and then animating it), and then finally using the end product in Adobe Premiere Pro.

I hear the family tree of Taylor Lorenz could be very interesting. And difficult to unearth.

He's not the richest person on earth anymore btw, he's sunk so much money into not letting Twitter die that he dropped to 2nd. Bernard Arnault is the richest person now

[@benjamindover4337]

It it normal that so many twins come from invitro fertilization?

[@UsefulCharts]

Yes.

[@earthtorebecca1290]

Yes because usually multiple eggs are fertilized due to high cost of IVF so there is a higher chance of twins/triplets

[@noahburns6042]

I remember when I first learnt this. It was from a game! (BitLife)

[@ropersonline]

The reason that happens is that IFV is usually a big hassle and expensive, and a strenuous effort, and the chances of success are not as high as people think. So it's common to implant multiple fertilised embryos to increase the chances one will survive, because they often don't. However, when it works, this can also mean that it suddenly works for all or most implanted embryos, and then you face the choice to selectively abort all but the most promising embryos, or to compromise all embryos' chances and face the risks that come with multiple pregnancies. IVF often all but implies abortion, since having a ton of rounds of IVF with single-embryo implantations isn't healthy for the mother (and father), neither physically nor psychologically. Basically, if you are fundamentally opposed to abortion no matter how early, don't have IVF. If you're radically opposed to abortion and have IVF anyway, it'll probably be one "dead child" after the next, or you'll risk becoming octomom. It's a little disconcerting how many strongly anti-abortion people do have IVF and then go through high multiple pregnancies that are really high-risk for the mother and her babies. OTOH, if you're a radical abortion opponent, you might find it more disconcerting to learn how many successful IVF pregnancies do involve selective abortion. One wonders if all the people who undergo IVF have been fully informed of what they're getting into, because it's really not for the faint-hearted, and the outcome often isn't all puppies and kittens.

[@stevenvallarsa1765]

Thanks for the fantastic (as always!) family tree of someone important. Unfortunately, by revealing all those dark secrets, you're probably banned from Twitter now :)

[@olivierl2172]

No secrets were revealed here :)

[@skwarubwa7083]

Matt, inasmuch as you asked, I request a family tree of the Aga Khan IV, one of the wealthiest men in the world, and also the religious leader of 15 million Nizari Ismaili Shia Muslims.

Amazing video, but don't mind hearing the Duchess of Sussex lineage

[@chrisnicky9136]

Please make a family tree for Michael Jackson or tupac shakur.

The Jackson family would be quite interesting actually!
