Justine Musk (born Jennifer Justine Wilson; September 2, 1972)[1][2][3] is a Canadian author.

Career[]

Musk is the author of the contemporary fantasy novel ,[4] published in 2005 by the ROC imprint of Penguin Books. Her second book, Uninvited, was released in 2007 and is an unrelated work intended for young-adult readers. A sequel to BloodAngel, Lord of Bones, was released in 2008.[5] Musk was one of the first people to use a site like Pinterest to plan out a novel.[6]

In a 2007 interview, she identified Margaret Atwood, Joyce Carol Oates, Paul Theroux, George R.R. Martin, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Neil Gaiman as authors to whom she could relate her writings.[7] She also described her books as cross-genre fiction.

Personal life[]

Justine Wilson was born in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada and she spent most of her early life there. She attended Queen's University in Kingston and obtained a degree in English literature. She then moved to Japan where she taught English as a second language (ESL) before finally settling in California.[8]

She married Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, in January 2000. Their first son, Nevada, was born in 2002 and died of sudden infant death syndrome at the age of 10 weeks.[8]

Through IVF, she later gave birth to twin boys, Griffin and Xavier, in 2004; followed by triplets Damian, Saxon, and Kai in 2006.[9][10] On September 13, 2008, she announced that she and Musk were getting a divorce.[11] Elon Musk and she share the children's custody.[12] She later wrote an article for Marie Claire titled "I Was a Starter Wife" detailing ways in which she thought the marriage was unhealthy, including that Elon Musk frequently belittled her, discouraged her from career pursuits, and pressured her to dye her hair blonde.[8] As of 2010, she claimed to be a "model former wife", and said she was on good terms with Musk's then-second wife, Talulah Riley.[13]
