In a surprising revelation, tech mogul Elon Musk has quietly expanded his family once again, this time with Shivon Zilis, a top executive at his neurotechnology company, Neuralink. The news, first reported by Business Insider, adds another chapter to Musk’s already extensive family life.
Court Documents Confirm Paternity
Court documents obtained by Business Insider confirm that Musk and Zilis welcomed twins in November 2021. The couple filed a petition in April to change the twins’ names to include both their parents’ last names. A Texas court approved the request in May.
Zilis: A Rising Star at Neuralink
Zilis, 36, is a project director at Neuralink, a company aiming to develop brain-computer interfaces. She has a background in artificial intelligence and has worked with other Musk ventures, including Tesla and OpenAI.
Musk’s Growing Family
The twins are Musk’s second set of children with Zilis. They also have a set of twins born weeks before Musk and musician Grimes welcomed their second child via surrogate in December 2021. In total, Musk now has nine known children.
Musk’s Perspective on Family
Musk has often spoken about the importance of having children and has expressed concern about declining birth rates. He sees having a large family as a way to contribute to the future of humanity.
Secrecy Surrounding Personal Life
While Musk is known for his outspokenness on various topics, he has kept his personal life largely private. The news of his twins with Zilis is just the latest example of his tendency to keep family matters out of the public eye.
Implications for Musk’s Businesses
The revelation of Musk’s growing family raises questions about how he will balance his personal life with his numerous business ventures. However, Musk has shown an ability to juggle multiple responsibilities in the past, and it is unlikely that his family life will significantly impact his work.
Public Reaction
The news of Musk’s twins with Zilis has been met with a mixed reaction. Some have congratulated the couple, while others have criticized Musk for his apparent lack of discretion.
The Future
As Musk continues to expand his family and his business empire, it remains to be seen how these two aspects of his life will intersect. For now, the world can only watch and speculate.
