Fact check: Does Elon Musk have any sisters and what are their names?

Checked on June 10, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Elon Musk has one confirmed full sister, Tosca Musk, who is a filmmaker and entrepreneur, known for co-founding Passionflix [1] [2]. He also has two half-sisters, Alexandra and Asha Rose, from his father Errol Musk's marriage to Heide Bezuidenhout [1] [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

  • Tosca Musk was born on July 20, 1974, and has established herself as a South African filmmaker [1]
  • The family structure is more complex than simply listing siblings, as it involves half-siblings from his father's subsequent marriage [3]
  • Tosca has achieved notable success in her own right as an entrepreneur, specifically in the entertainment industry with her streaming service Passionflix [1] [2]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

  • There is some conflicting information in the sources:
    • One source incorrectly identifies Kimbal Musk as a sister, when he is actually Elon's brother [1]
    • Some sources mention only Tosca [2], while others provide a more complete picture including half-sisters [3]

  • The simple question about sisters overlooks the complex family dynamics of the Musk family, including:
    • The distinction between full siblings and half-siblings
    • The relationship through Errol Musk's subsequent marriage

  • Media coverage of the Musk family tends to focus primarily on Elon and occasionally Tosca due to their public profiles in technology and entertainment respectively, which might lead to incomplete reporting about other family members.
