Elon Musk Confirms Birth of 14th Child with Shivon Zilis Amidst Paternity Dispute
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has confirmed the arrival of his 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his company Neuralink.
Musk reacted to Zilis’ post on X (formerly Twitter), where she shared the news of their son’s birth. The couple already shares twins Strider and Azure, 3, and daughter Arcadia.
This news comes amidst a paternity dispute between Musk and Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old influencer who claims Musk is the father of her child. St. Clair has sued Musk for sole custody and demanded a paternity test to confirm Musk’s parental role.
A New York judge has ordered Musk to respond to St. Clair’s demands for a paternity test by May 29, 2025. Musk has not publicly commented on the dispute.
Musk’s family now includes at least 14 children from different relationships. He has:
– Five children with his first wife, Justine Wilson, including twins Vivian and Griffin, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Their first child, Nevada Alexander Musk, died at just 10 weeks old.
– Three children with musician Grimes – sons X and Techno Mechanicus and a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl.
– Four children with Shivon Zilis – twins Strider and Azure, daughter Arcadia, and son Seldon Lycurgus.
Musk has been vocal about his pro-natalist stance, believing that large families are key to ensuring a sustainable future. He has reportedly offered his sperm to friends and acquaintances in line with his beliefs.
Musk’s views on population growth and sustainability have been a topic of discussion in recent years. He has expressed concerns about a perceived “population collapse” and has advocated for people to have more children.
The news of Musk’s 14th child has sparked a mixed reaction on social media, with some praising his commitment to his beliefs and others criticizing his unconventional family dynamics.
