Elon Musk’s list of children has added another name. Unlike the 13th child who was not recognized, the tech billionaire has made a move to express his affection for the new baby.

On February 28 (US time), Shivon Zilis, senior executive of Neuralink – a company owned by Elon Musk, shocked everyone when he announced the fourth child with the tech billionaire.

“After discussions with Elon and on Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it appropriate to share about our wonderful and amazing son, Seldon Lycurgus,” Zilis wrote on X.

Zilis is Elon’s girlfriend after breaking up with singer Grimes. They had twins Strider and Azure in November 2021.

In June 2024, Bloomberg reported that the couple welcomed their third child earlier that year.

A day after the press broke out, Elon Musk confirmed to Page Six about the birth of his 12th child.

He denied having a secret baby because all his friends and family knew. According to him, it is normal not to make a big deal about a baby, and it is strange to issue a press release about the birth of a new baby. However, at that time, Elon did not reveal the baby’s name and gender.

In the post at the end of February, in addition to the newborn, Zilis also revealed that the previous baby’s name was Arcadia. According to The Bump, this is a name commonly given to baby girls.

About 2 weeks before baby boy Seldon Lycurgus was introduced to the world, female writer Ashley St. Clair announced that she had given birth to the Tesla boss’s 13th child 5 months ago.

However, the businessman born in 1971 did not acknowledge the child, and even implied that he was trapped by the 26-year-old beauty. This attitude led to Ashley’s lawsuit on February 21.

In the documents submitted to the court in New York, the female writer requested a genetic test to determine that Elon Musk was the biological father of her son. Ashley also requested full custody of the child.

Despite the photos and messages revealed by Ashley, Elon Musk has never responded to her.

Unlike Ashley’s attitude of rejecting her child, Elon Musk, although not officially confirming that he has another child with his female subordinate, has shown affection. Below Zilis’s post, the technology billionaire commented with a red heart icon.

Including Ashley’s baby, Elon Musk now has a total of 14 biological children publicly. He once said he wanted to have as many children as possible, as long as he spent enough time with all of them and became a good father.

The news of Elon Musk having another child attracted a lot of attention. Zilis’s post received more than 1.4 million views in just a few hours after it appeared. People have mixed opinions about Elon Musk’s ever-increasing number of children.

Some netizens respect Elon’s wishes. According to them, he is financially strong and is not afraid of not having enough money to support all of his biological children. However, others think that having children with many different women is strange and Elon does not have enough time to be a proper father to all of them.

In addition, the noise about Ashley was also revived. They speculated that there was something fishy going on when Elon admitted to 13 children, excluding Ashley’s child.
