Her second book, Uninvited, was released in 2007 and is an unrelated work intended for young-adult readers. A sequel to BloodAngel, Lord of Bones, was released in 2008.[5] Musk is one of the first people to ever use a site like Pinterest to plan out a novel.[6]
In an interview, she identified Margaret Atwood, Joyce Carol Oates, Paul Theroux, George R.R. Martin, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Neil Gaiman as authors whom she could relate her writings to.[7] She also described her books as cross-genre fiction.
Musk also offers TED Talks on a regular basis.

Through IVF, she later gave birth to twin boys, Griffin and Xavier, in 2004; followed by triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai in 2006.[9][10] On September 13, 2008, she announced that she and Musk were getting a divorce.[11] She later wrote an article for Marie Claire entitled "I Was a Starter Wife" detailing the ways in which the marriage was unhealthy, including that he frequently belittled her, discouraged her from career pursuits, and pressured her to dye her hair blonde.[8] She claimed to have been a "model ex-wife", on good terms with Musk's second ex-wife, Talulah Riley.[12][13]
