Career

Justine Musk eventually settled down in California. She had always aspired to be an author and wrote the first draft of ‘BloodAngel’ when she was attending the Queen’s University. The dark urban fantasy book was published in 2005 by Roc Books and received favourable reviews. Her second book came out in 2007. Titled ‘Uninvited’, the paranormal fantasy book tells the story of Kelly Ruland, a girl whose world falls apart after a car accident. ‘Uninvited’ was published through MTV Books.

In 2008, Justine finally published the second instalment of the BloodAngel books, titled ‘Lord of Bones’. All the main characters from the first book returned in this well-received sequel. She has also published a short story called ‘I Need You More’ and has contributed her stories to ‘The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance 2: Love Bites’ (2009) and ‘Kiss Me Deadly: 13 Tales of Paranormal Love’ (2010). She is one of the first writers to make use of platforms like Pinterest to plan out a novel.

Relationship with Elon Musk

Justine met Elon Musk while they were both students at the Queen’s University. They married in 2000. Their first child, a son named Nevada Alexander Musk, was born in 2002. However, he died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) ten weeks later. All their children after that were born through in vitro fertilization. She gave birth to the twin boys, Griffin and Xavier, in 2004 and the triplets, Damian, Saxon, and Kai, in 2006.

She released a public statement on September 13, 2008, informing the media that she was divorcing Musk. They share the custody of their five children.

Justine later contributed an article to ‘Marie Clarie,’ where she extensively described her relationship with Musk and went on to call herself a “model ex-wife” who gets on well with Talulah Riley, Musk’s second ex-wife. She currently resides in Bel-Air, California.
