Shivon Zilis, the mother of Elon Musk’s new baby, has an Indian connection.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed the birth of his twelfth child, a baby born earlier this year with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain implant company Neuralink.

Media reports brought the news to light, but Musk clarified to Page Six that the birth was never intended to be a secret. “Everyone close to us knows,” he stated, emphasising that a lack of formal announcement doesn’t equate to secrecy.

The baby’s name and sex haven’t been revealed publicly. This marks Musk’s third child with Zilis, adding to his already large family.

In November 2021, Musk and Zilis welcomed twins, Strider and Azure. This was just a month before Musk and singer Grimes welcomed their daughter Exa Dark Siderael via surrogacy. Grimes shares three children with Musk, and recently requested privacy for their family in a lengthy social media post. This came amidst media attention surrounding their co-parenting dynamic and the news of Musk’s additional child with Zilis, a son named Techno, born shortly after the twins.

Zilis’ association with Musk likely began through their shared interest in artificial intelligence. She served on the board of OpenAI, a non-profit research company dedicated to friendly artificial intelligence, until 2023. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015.

While the specific details of Zilis and Musk’s relationship remain private, court documents revealed that they welcomed twins together in November 2021. This news only came to light in July 2022, highlighting the couple’s desire for privacy.

In June 2024, reports surfaced indicating that Zilis had given birth to their third child, further expanding Musk’s already large family.
