Elon Musk has a secret child, probably the third with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, born earlier this year, Bloomberg reported confirming that this child was not known to the public until now. The report said Musk and Zilis did not comment on the issue. Elon Musk is the father of at least 12 children, six of them in the past five years — three with the musician Grimes and three with Shivon Zilis, including the so far secret one, the report noted.
Elon Musk had a son with Grimes in 2020 who made headlines because of his unusual name X Æ A-Xii, or X. Their second child was a daughter named Y or Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, born via surrogate in December 2021. They had a secret son named Techno Machanicus or Tau — everything about him was kept a secret, only his existence was revealed in a biography.
In 2021 only, Musk had twins with Shivon Zilis.
Elon Musk has six more children from his previous marriage to Canadian author Justine Wilson. Their first son Nevada Alexander was born in 2002 but died as an infant at 10 weeks age. Then he had twin boys Xavier (transgender) and Damian and triplet boys Kai, Saxon and Damian. Xavier in 2022 dropped Musk’s name saying that she did not want to be related to the biological father. “I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” she said in a petition for both a name change and a new birth certificate. Xavier also changed the gender from male to female after she turned 18.
The revelation of a secret child born earlier this year came in the Bloomberg features titled ‘Elon wants you to have more babies’. “Musk, father of at least 12, has been quietly buying mainstream respectability for fringe theories about a coming population collapse,” it said.
‘To be clear: The world’s population is not declining’
The Bloomberg feature delved into how Elon Musk brings up the issue of a population decline in any interview ” To be clear: The world’s population is not declining. There were about 2 billion people living a century ago, and last year the number topped 8 billion, according to the US Census Bureau. The overwhelming majority of experts trust the data from the United Nations, which projects that the global figure will keep rising to a peak of more than 10 billion people by the year 2100. And even then, the consensus holds, we’re not talking about some collapse. What’s expected to follow the peak is a gradual, marginal decline in the population, not Children of Men,” the report said.
