The announcement was made by Zilis on X.com, a platform owned by Musk, where she expressed joy over their new addition. Musk responded to the post with a heart emoji, indicating his happiness.
This news comes shortly after author Ashley St. Clair revealed that she and Musk have a five-month-old son named R.S.C. St. Clair has filed for sole custody, noting Musk’s lack of involvement in the child’s upbringing. A judge has ordered Musk to appear in court regarding the custody case.
Musk’s expanding family includes children with multiple partners. He has five children with his ex-wife, Justine Wilson: twins Griffin and Vivian, 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, 19. With musician Grimes, he shares three children: X Æ A-Xii, 4, Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, and Techno Mechanicus, 2. Tragically, his first son, Nevada Alexander, passed away at 10 weeks old.
Shivon Zilis, the mother of Musk’s four youngest children, is the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink. Born in Ontario, Canada, Zilis attended Yale University, where she studied economics and philosophy. She has held positions at IBM and Bloomberg Beta and was a board member at OpenAI until 2023.
Musk, a self-described “pronatalist,” has expressed concerns about declining birth rates and has stated his commitment to having a large family. He believes that a collapsing birth rate poses one of the biggest risks to civilization.
As Musk continues to expand his family, public interest in his personal life remains high, especially given his significant influence in the technology and business sectors.
