Elon Musk, the billionaire tech mogul and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), has once again expanded his family, this time welcoming his 14th child\u2014a son named Seldon Lycurgus. The newborn is Musk\u2019s fourth child with Shivon Zilis, a Canadian executive at Neuralink, Musk\u2019s neurotechnology company. The announcement, made by Zilis on X, Musk\u2019s social media platform, has reignited fascination with Musk\u2019s unconventional approach to family life and his penchant for unique baby names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zilis, 38, shared the news in a heartfelt post, revealing that the couple had decided to disclose the birth alongside the birthday celebration of their daughter, Arcadia. \u201cBuilt like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much,\u201d Zilis wrote, accompanied by a heart emoji from Musk. The name Seldon Lycurgus joins Musk\u2019s growing list of creatively named children, including Exa Dark Sider\u00e6l, Strider, Azure, and X \u00c6 A-12, affectionately known as \u201cX.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musk, 53, has long been an advocate for larger families, often expressing concerns about declining global birth rates. \u201cBravo to big families,\u201d he declared three years ago, calling falling birth rates \u201cthe biggest danger civilisation faces by far.\u201d His personal life reflects this belief, with his 14 children born to at least three different women: Zilis, musician Grimes (real name Claire Boucher), and his ex-wife, author Justine Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Musk\u2019s family dynamics have recently become more complicated. A lawsuit filed by Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old conservative influencer, alleges that Musk is the father of her five-month-old son. St. Clair, who previously worked for the satirical website The Babylon Bee<\/em>, claims there is \u201cno doubt\u201d about Musk\u2019s paternity, citing text messages allegedly sent by Musk as evidence. In one message, Musk reportedly wrote, \u201cI look forward to seeing you and him this weekend.\u201d St. Clair publicly announced the paternity claim on X, but Musk has yet to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Musk\u2019s family tree is as sprawling as it is intriguing. With six children from his marriage to Justine Wilson, three with Grimes, and now four with Zilis, the billionaire\u2019s personal life continues to captivate public attention. His children\u2019s names, often inspired by mythology, science fiction, or abstract concepts, reflect Musk\u2019s eccentric personality and his desire to stand out from the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond his personal life, Musk remains a polarizing figure, balancing his roles as a tech innovator, political influencer, and now, the head of the \u201cDepartment of Government Efficiency\u201d (Doge) in collaboration with former President Donald Trump. His advocacy for larger families aligns with his broader concerns about humanity\u2019s future, even as critics question the environmental and societal implications of his lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
