Nevada Alexander Musk came to fame for being the son of Tesla and Space X founder, Elon Musk.
Nevada was born in 2002, in Orange County, California, as the first child to Elon and his first wife, Justine Musk. However, he died at the age of 10 weeks.
Let’s get to know more about him!
How did Nevada Die?
Nevada Alexander Musk died of Sudden Death Infant Syndrome when he was 10 weeks old. He was napping on his back like always; however, this time, he stopped breathing.
Elon and Justine Musk called the paramedics and resuscitated him. But, it was no good. He hadn’t breathed for so long that it dealt serious damage to his brain.
Musk was kept on life support in a hospital in Orange County. After three days, Elon and Justine decided to get him off of it.
I held him in my arms when he died.

How did Elon and Justine Cope After Nevada’s Death?

While Elon kept his sufferings to himself, his wife “grieved openly.” Musk even called his wife’s coping methods “emotionally manipulative.”
Less than two months after Nevada’s passing, his mother visited an IVF clinic to plan her next pregnancy.
Within the next five years, she and Elon welcomed twins and triplets.
