Billionaire Elon Musk has welcomed his 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his company Neuralink. This adds to the growing number of Musk’s children, as he and Zilis already have three other children together.

Zilis shared the news in a post on X, saying, “Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus.” However, she did not reveal when Seldon was born. Musk responded with a heart emoji in response to the announcement.

Zilis’ announcement comes just two weeks after conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair revealed that she, too, recently had a child with Musk.

The public learned about Musk and Zilis’ relationship as co-parents in 2022 when court documents revealed they secretly welcomed twins, Strider and Azure, in November 2021. Their third child, Arcadia, was born on February 28, 2024.

A source close to the couple told People that Musk “really loves Shivon.”

Musk’s family also includes three children with musician Claire "Grimes" Boucher: son X Æ A-12, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, and son Techno Mechanicus (Tau). Despite initial tensions between Grimes and Zilis due to their overlapping children, the two women have since reconciled. In September 2023, Grimes shared that they had connected and resolved their differences, with Zilis expressing her excitement for future playdates between their children.

Musk also has five older children from his previous marriage to author Justine Wilson: twins Vivian and Griffin, 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, 19. Tragically, Musk’s first child with Wilson, Nevada Alexander, passed away as an infant in 2002.
