Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has welcomed his 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. The news was confirmed by Zilis, who announced the birth on social media, with Musk responding to the post with a heart emoji.
This marks the fourth child Musk shares with Zilis. The couple previously welcomed twins Strider and Azure in November 2021, followed by their daughter Arcadia in 2024.
A Growing Family
Musk’s family has continued to expand over the years. In addition to his children with Zilis, he has six children with his ex-wife, Justine Wilson, including twins Griffin and Vivian and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. He also shares three children with musician Grimes: X Æ A-12, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.
Most recently, a new controversy emerged as conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair has claimed that Musk is the father of her five-month-old son. She has filed a paternity lawsuit seeking sole custody, which, if confirmed, would officially bring Musk’s known child count to 14.
Elon Musk’s Views on Population Growth
Musk has long been an advocate for increasing birth rates, warning about the dangers of global underpopulation. He has repeatedly stated that he is personally contributing to solving what he sees as a demographic crisis.
In past interviews and social media posts, Musk has emphasized that low birth rates could threaten the future of civilization. His growing family seems to align with his philosophy of ensuring a robust next generation.
Public Reactions and Future Prospects
As news of Musk’s latest child spreads, reactions have been mixed. While some admire his commitment to fatherhood, others question whether his busy lifestyle allows for quality time with his children.
Regardless, Musk remains one of the most influential figures in the tech and business world, and his expanding family continues to draw attention alongside his ambitious ventures in space exploration, AI, and sustainable energy.
