We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
Thanks!

Here is a link to the article in Sunday's Tages-Anzeiger: https://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/aus-diesem-schweizer-dorf-stammt-tesla-gruender-elon-musk-719465997366
And here is also a short summary of the article available in English: https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/historians-trace-elon-musk-s-swiss-roots-to-emmental/47559580
So Elon Musk probably has plenty of English/British ancestors on his mother's side, outweighing the Swiss heritage by orders of magnitude (he loves to say orders of magnitude, by the way).

The missing spouses/mates and children also are incomplete but obviously known although Grimes and son have been oddly excluded from the profile information AND the biography, which is strange. Grimes in her own right is famous as well. She may already have a profile that you can easily attach the this tree.
