Elon Musk Welcomed Baby No. 12 and People Keep Commenting the Same Thing

Earlier this year, Elon Musk, the 52-year-old business tycoon and founder of Tesla, unexpectedly welcomed a new family member. Shivon Zilis, director of special projects at Neuralink Corp., which Musk also created, is the mother of the child.

Musk and his associates have often attempted to keep the lives of their kids out of the spotlight. This strategy was highlighted in September 2023 when Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes and the mother of three of Musk’s children, requested seclusion for herself and Musk’s children on X (previously Twitter). The media hysteria around her co-parenting relationship with Musk and the recent disclosure of their third child—a son named Techno Mechanicus—who was born soon after Musk’s children with Zilis was addressed by her in a long article.

In 2002, Elon Musk and his first wife, Justine Wilson, welcomed their first son, Nevada Alexander, into the world. Unfortunately, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) claimed Nevada’s life at 10. Wilson and Musk later became parents to triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian in 2006 after conceiving twins Vivian Jenna and Griffin in 2004.

Musk and Grimes welcomed X Æ A-Xii, a son, as their first child together in May 2020. In December 2021, the couple gave birth to a daughter, Exa Dark Siderael, through surrogacy. Simultaneously, Musk and Shivon Zilis welcomed twins Strider and Azure in secret in November 2021.

Following journalist Walter Isaacson’s 2023 biography of Musk, which revealed the birth of Musk and Grimes’ third kid, a son named Techno Mechanicus, also known as “Tau,” the announcement of Musk’s newest child follows.

Musk denied any idea of concealment after confirming the birth of his most recent child with Shivon Zilis. He said, “As for’secretly fathered,’ that is also untrue.” Our relatives and friends are all aware. “It is not a secret if there is no press release, which would be strange,” he continued. The couple’s dedication to secrecy is demonstrated by the fact that Musk’s youngest child’s name and sex are still unknown despite this confirmation.

Those who follow Elon Musk’s life online were taken aback by the announcement of the birth of his 12th child. The likeness to Nick Cannon’s large family was one frequent analogy that kept coming up in online comment sections. Along with having many children, Cannon is also well-known for having twins with Mariah Carey.

One Instagram user joked, “Elon and Nick Cannon are repopulating the earth by themselves.” “Elon is competing with Nick Cannon?” “Nick, you have 24 hours to reply!” were a few more remarks that were visible.

Because of his well-known connections and noteworthy career accomplishments, Elon Musk’s personal life has frequently been the subject of considerable public curiosity and scrutiny. His expanding family and the relationships between his lovers reveal the intricacies of his private life, which is frequently conducted in public view.
