Elon Musk has embraced fatherhood for the twelfth time, celebrating the arrival of his third child with Neuralink Director Shivon Zilis. Musk clarified that this newborn was no secret, as friends and family were well aware.
The details regarding the child's name and gender remain undisclosed. Musk has refuted reports claiming he kept the child's existence a secret.
Musk stated, 'Contrary to what’s been suggested about keeping the child's existence a secret, it’s untrue. Our friends and family were in the loop. The absence of a press release might seem unusual, but it doesn't imply the child is a secret.'
Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis now share three children together. Before this, Zilis gave birth to twins, Strider and Azure, in 2021. She continues her role at Musk's brain-implant enterprise, Neuralink.

Musk's first marriage was to Justine Wilson in 2000, with whom he shares five children. The couple divorced in 2008. He later married Talulah Riley in 2010 and they parted ways in 2016.
In 2018, Musk began dating Canadian musician Grimes. Together, they have three children before separating in 2021. Musk has voiced concerns about declining birth rates, highlighting that many countries are already below replacement rates, a trend he predicts will become universal.
According to Musk, the replacement rate should be 2.1 children, and he has indicated that the global population is likely to fall short of this number soon. In an interview given to Page Six, and echoed in a July 2022 interview, Musk expressed his desire for a large family.
