Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis Quietly Welcome Another Child, Expanding Billionaire’s Growing Family
Just when the world thought it had kept up with Elon Musk’s famously expanding family, a new revelation has emerged. Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis have quietly welcomed another child,
leaving fans and media scrambling to learn more about the latest addition to the billionaire’s brood. The announcement surprises the public and raises questions about timing, names, and what lies ahead for Musk’s intricate family affairs.
Elon Musk confirmed that he and Zilis have welcomed a fourth child together, bringing Musk’s confirmed total to 13 children. Shivon Zilis took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday to share the news publicly for the first time, revealing the name of their third child—previously undisclosed.
“After discussing with Elon, and considering beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to share directly about our wonderful son, Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much,” Zilis wrote, accompanied by a heart emoji. Musk responded with his own heart emoji, signaling his approval.
The birth date of Seldon Lycurgus remains private. The couple quietly welcomed their third child, Arcadia, last year, though details surrounding that birth—including gender and exact date—have also remained confidential.
Musk and Zilis conceived their twins, Azure and Strider, via IVF—a method Musk reportedly used for nine of his children.
Zilis, 39, has been a visible figure alongside Musk, attending notable events such as President Trump’s inauguration and Musk’s stay at Mar-a-Lago after the 2020 election. Earlier this month, she and their 3-year-old twins accompanied Musk during his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The family web grows even more complex amid ongoing legal battles. Maye Musk, Elon’s mother, has publicly expressed affection for Zilis amid a highly publicized custody dispute involving conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who claims Musk fathered her 6-month-old son and is pursuing paternity and custody in Manhattan court.
In total, Musk allegedly has 14 children with four different mothers: six with his first wife Justine Wilson, three with pop star Grimes, four with Shivon Zilis, and one alleged child with Ashley St. Clair. Musk has spoken about his expanding family in the context of larger societal concerns, describing declining birth rates as a significant threat to civilization.
Conclusion
Elon Musk’s latest family announcement adds another chapter to the complex narrative of his private life—one marked by personal milestones and intense public interest.
From IVF-conceived twins to legal disputes and high-profile appearances, Musk and Shivon Zilis continue to grow their family amid relentless media scrutiny. The arrival of Seldon Lycurgus reminds us that even billionaires’ personal lives can captivate the world, blending private joy with public fascination.
