BILLIONAIRE tech mogul Elon Musk has had a third child with colleague Shivon Zilis, the twelfth child he has fathered. Musk and Zilis — who has worked at several of Musk's tech companies and is currently the Director of Special Projects at his brain implant company Neuralink — welcomed the newborn earlier this year. The child, whose name has not been made public, was born less than two years after the couple's twins, who joined the family in 2022 and first reported by Bloomberg .
Musk has celebrated the births of at least 12 children with three women since first becoming a father in 2002. He had his first six children with his then-wife, Justine Wilson, who he met at college. The couple's firstborn child, Nevada Alexander Musk, tragically died at only 10 weeks old due to sudden infant death syndrome in 2002.
Wilson and Musk went on to have a set of twins, Griffin and Vivian Musk, in 2004, and triplets — Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk, in 2006. After divorcing from Wilson, the Tesla founder eventually began dating Canadian pop singer Grimes . Together the couple have three children, including a son named X AE A-XII Musk, born in 2020, and a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, born in 2021.
The couple's third child, son Techno Mechanicus Musk, was revealed by the SpaceX founder's biographer last year. Musk began planning a family with his subordinate and long-time friend, Zilis, around the same time. He secretly had a set of twins with Zilis in 2022, before welcoming thei.
