Elon Musk‘s mother Maye took her followers on a trip down memory lane as she shared a heartwarming throwback snap of the billionaire Tesla CEO with his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and sister Tosca on Instagram.
The photo captures a moment from 2008 at a California rocket lab, where the family gathered during SpaceX‘s expansion into larger offices in Hawthorne.
The series of four photos has been received with love, garnering nearly 20,000 likes since it was posted on Monday.
Accompanying the pictures, the caption reads: ‘As you loved the post with Elon and X, here are photos of him with his kids and @toscamusk in 2008, when @spacex moved into larger offices in Hawthorne. And a more recent photo at Starbase with his teens. #FamilyFirst.’
In the first photo, we see young Griffin and Vivian Musk, who were just about four years old at the time the picture was taken. Vivian announced that she is living as a transgender woman in 2022, and is now estranged from her father.

The photo dump also features a solo shot of Maye Musk, 75, who began her journey as a model during her teen years and was even a finalist for Miss South Africa in the 1960s
These adorable twins were welcomed into the world by Elon and his then-wife Talulah Riley in April 2004. Vivian came out as transgender in June 2022.

Maye became the oldest-ever cover girl of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue last year.
The heartwarming throwback pictures have brought joy to users, who expressed their admiration for the example Maye has set for her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren.
One user commented, ‘You’ve been an amazing example for your 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to follow.’
Another shared their dream of meeting her, saying, ‘Wow, my dream, adding you to my bucket list.’
Musk, whose love life has always something of a rollercoaster, has 9 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with 3 different mothers.
The fifty-two-year-old welcomed twins with Shivon Zilis, 36, the director of operations at Musk’s brain-machine interface company Neuralink, in November 2021 – just weeks before he welcomed a second 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 with singer Grimes.
The three new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧s join Musk’s six other living 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, including Griffin, Vivian, Kai, Saxon, Damian and X.
Musk’s first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 Nevada Alexander died in 2002 at only 10 weeks.

Together, Justine and Elon had five 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren; Vivian has a twin brother named Griffin, and the pair also have triplet siblings, Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Vivian and Griffin are seen with Musk and his second wife Tallulah Riley in 2010
Maye brought up the three 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren on her own
This wasn’t the last time Musk brought his kids to work.
In 2022, Musk, who now owns Twitter, took his two-year-old son to Twitter headquarters and gifted him with his own access key.
X AE A-Xii Musk, also referred to as X, is the latest guest to roam the San Francisco office since his billionaire father took over the social media giant in a $44 billion deal.
The adorable two-year-old smiled while in front of a classic heart shaped sculpture and later showed off his personal badge.
Elon Musk’s 18-year-old daughter Vivian, who is pictured in the Instagram photo as a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, legally changed her name – and dropped her father’s famous surname – after telling a court that she ‘no longer wishes to be related’ to the billionaire Tesla founder ‘in any way’ in 2022.
The teenager, who was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 a biological male and given the name Xavier Alexander Musk, submitted a legal petition to change her name and her gender back in April 2022, telling a California court that she wanted to be known as Vivian Jenna Wilson, in part to distance herself from her father.

Maye Musk, 75, took to Twitter to express her concern over a picture of her son Elon (right), 52, in which he is stood with UFC legend Georges St-Pierre (red shorts) and two others
That petition was granted in June of that year.
Maye has been vocal on social media, commenting on posts featuring her son, who is worth close to $250 billion.
Earlier this month, Maye scolded her son publicly on Twitter after a picture of him was posted on Twitter showing Musk training with UFC legend ahead of a rumored cage fight with Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg.
This is the second time in recent weeks that Maye took to Twitter to express her concern over her fifty-two-year-old son who posed with UFC legend Georges St-Pierre, 42, and two others.
It came amid rumors the Italian government has offered up Rome’s Colosseum as the stage for a showdown between Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 39, and Twitter billionaire Elon Musk.
Musk has two siblings: Kimbal, 51, a restaurateur who is trying to find a solution to America’s obesity crisis; and Tosca, 49, the founder of Passionflix, a Netflix-style streaming service dedicated to producing uplifting romantic movies.
Musk’s filmmaking 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 sister said she gets overcharged as people assume her billionaire brother pays for everything, she told the Daily Mail in June.
The filmmaker and executive producer, said she recently got hit with a bill inflated by $20,000 while scouting locations for a new movie.
‘The location was going to cost $5,000, but when they heard my name and assumed we were rich, they decided to charge us $25,000,’ she said. ‘That’s not exactly fair, is it?’
