Damian Musk is one of the many children of SouthAfrican-Canadian Billionaire, Elon Musk, and one of his triplet sons.
His father is one of the world’s richest men and has been recognized as the first person to exceed a net worth of $300 billion.
Also, he’s famously known as the co-founder of SpaceX, a manufacturer of spacecraft, and the founder of Tesla, one of the leading brands in the production of Electric Vehicles.
Just like his father, Damian has shown interest in tech, excelling in math and physics at a young age. Moreover, his father’s fame has made a lot of people curious about him.
In this article, I’ll be discussing some interesting facts about him; his early life, net worth, age, and family.
Who Is Damian Musk?
Damian Musk is one of the triplets of Elon Musk and Justine Wilson, born on the 1st of January, 2006, in Los Angeles, California, USA. His triplet siblings are Kai and Saxon.

Furthermore, the young boy has a deep interest in Physics and Music. He is a theoretical researcher, with a focus on quantum information for high-energy physics. He works at the Fermilab Theory Division and Caltech INQNET consortium.
Additionally, in February 2021 a Twitter user @Kristennetten uploaded a video of Damian playing piano and tagged him as his brother, Saxon. However, Elon had corrected that it was Damian.
