For a man known for rockets, AI, and electric cars, Elon Musk is rarely associated with quiet domestic routines. But behind the chaos of global business and innovation, the world’s richest man has a surprisingly down-to-earth morning ritual — and it’s all about his children.
According to close sources, Musk has developed a habit that few people would expect from the tech titan: he personally cooks breakfast for his kids before diving into meetings and missions that shape the future.
“He’s up early — often before sunrise,” an insider revealed. “But instead of checking stock prices or rocket updates, he heads to the kitchen. It’s his way of grounding himself — and connecting with his kids before the day explodes into chaos.”
Musk, who has often spoken about the importance of family despite his demanding schedule, reportedly enjoys preparing simple, comforting dishes. Pancakes, eggs, and sometimes even breakfast burritos are among the favorites — a routine that brings him joy and helps him balance his famously intense lifestyle.
Those close to the entrepreneur say this small act reflects a side of him rarely seen by the public — the father who values ordinary moments as much as extraordinary accomplishments. “For Elon,” the source added, “making breakfast isn’t about the food — it’s about presence. It’s the one time of day he isn’t CEO, inventor, or visionary. He’s just Dad.”
And that’s perhaps the most human thing about him.
