Shivon Zilis

Musk's nine children include pair born to Shivon Zilis, who works at his artificial intelligence company.

According to Insider, Zilis has “been floated” to run the social media site should the deal go through. Neuralink called the claims “misleading”. Zilis reportedly gave birth in November 2021, weeks before Musk and Boucher had their second child via a surrogate.

Congratulations are apparently in order for Elon Musk: The Tesla chief executive had twins in November with Shivon Zilis, a top executive at his company ...

Neither she nor Musk responded to a request for comment from the outlet. Earlier this year, he tweeted a screenshot of a Wall Street Journal demographic illustrating the declining U.S. birth rate. Her existence was also kept secret until March this year, when a Vanity Fair reporter sent to profile Grimes heard the “lone cry” of a baby upstairs. The twins were reportedly born just “weeks” before the SpaceX founder and musician Grimes had a baby daughter via surrogate. An expert in artificial intelligence, Zilis met Musk, 51, in 2015. Court filings obtained by the outlet showed that Musk and Zilis filed a petition to change their children’s names to “have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name” in April. One month later, a Texas judge approved the petition.

Court documents show that Elon Musk and a 36-year-old Neuralink executive, Shivon Zilis, are the parents of 8-month-old twins. Musk now has nine known ...

(She later defined "The Mission" as "sustainable energy, making humanity a multiplanetary species and the preservation of consciousness." The day the article was published, she tweeted, "Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article haha, but he's my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now." Musk and Amber Heard — who dated for about a year in 2016 — may also have frozen embryos together. As he wrote in a 2017 paper published in the academic journal New Space, he sees a human presence on the red planet as a safeguard against "some eventual extinction event." Replacement-level fertility, or the average number of children a woman would need to have in her lifetime in order for a generation to replace itself, is 2.1. In 2020, as The Journal pointed out, the total fertility rate in the United States was down to 1.64, though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that in 2021 the number of births in the US rose for the first time in seven years. In response to a tweet in 2021 praising him for his large family, he wrote: "I'm trying to set a good example! We see each other all the time ... We just have our own thing going on, and I don't expect other people to understand it." Since the beginning of 2022, the mogul has tweeted more than a dozen times about population issues. Zilis lived in San Francisco before buying a home in a gated community in Austin in August, about three months before the twins were born. Today she holds the title of director of operations and special projects for Neuralink, where Musk is a co-CEO. She previously worked as a project director in the CEO's office. The order was approved by a judge in Austin, Texas, this May. (Insider is withholding the children's names to protect their privacy.) The twins were born weeks before Musk and Claire Boucher, the musician who performs as Grimes, had their second child via surrogate in December. In 2017, Zilis moved to Tesla, where she was a project director, deploying her AI expertise on the Autopilot and chip-design teams.
