Tech magnate Elon Musk has recently welcomed his 12th child, his third with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. Musk, who is well-known for his ventures with Tesla and SpaceX, confirmed that the birth was not kept secret from his friends and family, refuting claims that he had “secretly fathered” the baby.

Musk emphasized that it would have been “bizarre” to issue a press release for his 12th child, as his close circle was already aware of the birth. However, he chose not to reveal the name and gender of the baby publicly (Wikipedia) (Business Insider).
A Growing Family
Shivon Zilis, an AI expert and director at Neuralink, has had a significant professional relationship with Musk. The couple’s twins, Strider and Azure, were born in late 2021. This recent addition marks Musk’s 12th child, extending his large and diverse family further (Peoplemag).
Musk’s other children include five with his first wife, Justine Wilson, and three with the musician Grimes. Musk has frequently mentioned his concerns about the global “underpopulation crisis” and his commitment to contributing to population growth.
