Elon Musk has welcomed a fourth child with Neuralink exec Shivon Zilis, which would make the controversial billionaire a father of 14 if author Ashley St. Clair’s recent claims are true.
Zilis, 39, announced the news Friday afternoon on Musk’s social media platform X.
“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. “Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much.”
Musk tweeted a heart emoji in response to Zilis’ post, which did not reveal when their latest addition was born.
In November 2021, the pair announced that they’d welcomed twins earlier that year — son Strider and daughter Azure.
Bloomberg then reported last June that Musk and Zilis had also welcomed a third child, now known to have been born on Feb. 28, 2024. Zilis celebrated Arcadia’s first birthday with a separate post on X earlier in the day Friday.
The latest baby news comes exactly two weeks after St. Clair announced on Valentine’s Day that she’d given birth to the Tesla honcho’s 13th child last fall.
The 26-year-old conservative influencer, who authored a seemingly anti-trans children’s book and has appeared on Fox News, tweeted that 53-year-old “Elon Musk is the father” of her infant. She said she decided to go public about the child after learning that an unnamed tabloid was planning to break the news.
“I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause,” she wrote. “Wish I did not feel the need to make a statement.”
Days later, St. Clair sued Musk for legal custody of their son, reportedly born on Sept. 17, and filed a paternity petition to establish Musk as the father.
The SpaceX CEO has not publicly commented on St. Clair’s claims, though she alleges he’s been absent from their child’s life since late November. Since sharing the news of their son, she says he’s also cut off contact with her, despite her numerous attempts to get in touch.
Musk’s growing brood started with ex-wife Justin Wilson, with whom he shares 20-year-old twins Vivian and Griffin, and 18-year-old triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai. The former spouses also shared Nevada, who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at 10 weeks old in 2002.
Musk also shares three children with singer Grimes — X Æ A-Xii (or Lil X), Exa and Techno — ranging in age from 2 to 4. They welcomed Exa in December 2021, just weeks after the birth of Musk’s twins with Zilis.
