Elon Musk, the CEO of electric car maker Tesla, is often known for posting or posting laughable comments on social media. However, now an emotional aspect of Elon Musk has come to the public, which is related to the death of his first son. Elon Musk mentioned the death of his first son in an email to the parents of a boy who lost his life in a Tesla car crash in 2018. This email has now gone public after almost three years.
“There is nothing worse than losing a child,” Musk said in an email to James Riley dated May 10, 2018. James Riley’s 18-year-old son, Barrett Riley, died in a car accident in 2018. Barrett Riley was driving a Tesla Model S car with a friend at 116 mph. Losing control of the car, she crashed into a concrete wall. The car caught fire shortly after the accident, and Riley and her friend, Edgar Monserratt, died on the spot.
Edgar Monserrat’s family has filed a lawsuit against Tesla over wrongful death in this case. A seven-month-long email conversation between Elon Musk and Barrett’s parents during the hearing of the same case is included in the court filing.

About 24 hours after the accident, Elon Musk said in an email to Barrett Riley’s father, James Riley, “There is nothing worse than losing a child. Do they have anything to say to them?” To this Barrett’s father said that he or his wife did not want to talk about it.
Musk replied, “I can understand. My first son died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat.” Musk was talking about his first son, Alexander Musk, in Nevada, who died at just 10 weeks. Elon Musk has never publicly spoken about his son’s death before.
In a conversation with Elon Musk, Barrett’s father asked him to add a program to Tesla’s car so that even the parents of a child could control the speed of the car. Musk acceded to his request, and Tesla released a software upgrade in June 2018 that allows the car to set the speed of 50 to 90 mph using a smartphone or user interface.
