The visit came just over a week after production stopped at the plant following a suspected arson attack that cut its power supply.

A left-wing organization called the Volcano Group took responsibility for the fire and called for the “complete destruction of the gigafactory,” according to the Associated Press.

Plans by Tesla to expand the Berlin-area factory have been under fire due to concerns about the impact on nearby protected wetlands.

Grimes filed a “petition to establish parental relationship” in September 2023 in California, which asks the court to identify the legal parents of a child when they are unmarried.

Days before the suit, Musk filed a petition in Texas seeking to become the children’s legal parent, alleging he had “actual care, control and possession of each child since the birth of each child,” and that the kids were living in the Lone Star State.

The SpaceX founder and the Canadian musician began dating in early 2018.

Musk is also the father of eight other children.

He and his ex-wife Justine Wilson are the parents of 20-year-old twins Griffin and Vivian.

Vivian came out as transgender in June 2022 and now uses her mother’s last name.

The twins were followed by triplet boys, Kai, Saxon and Damian, who are now 18.

The former couple, whose firstborn son died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in 2002, were married from 2000 to 2008.

Musk also welcomed twins with Neuralink director of operations and special projects Shivon Zilis in November 2021.
