Elon Musk welcomes 4th child with Shivon Zilis, now has 14 children in total

Tech billionaire Elon Musk who is a close adviser to US President Donald Trump, has welcomed his fourth child with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, marking what is believed to be his 14th child. The couple announced the birth of their son, Seldon Lycurgus, on February 28 via social media.

“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,” Zilis wrote on X. “Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much.”

Musk responded to her post with a heart emoji.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO and Zilis previously welcomed twins Strider and Azure in 2021, followed by their daughter Arcadia last year.

The latest addition further expands Musk’s growing family, following reports that conservative influencer and author Ashley St. Clair gave birth to his 13th child five months ago and filled a paternity suit against Elon.

Musk has been outspoken about his belief in population growth, previously stating that a declining birth rate poses a threat to civilization.

Addressing past reports about his growing family, he told Page Six in 2024, “All our friends and family know. Failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre, does not mean ‘secret.’”
