The baby’s name and sex haven’t been revealed publicly. This marks Musk’s third child with Zilis, adding to his already large family.
Earlier this year, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis welcomed their third child. The couple, who are well-known for their technological and business innovation, decided to keep the arrival of their newest family member a secret. The Tesla mogul, who is already a father to twins Strider and Azure who were born in November 2021, has not revealed the exact number of children he has.
This was just a month before Musk and musician Grimes welcomed their surrogate daughter Exa Dark Siderael. Grimes and Musk are parents to three children together, and in a recent lengthy social media message, Grimes asked for privacy for their family. This occurred during public coverage of their co-parenting arrangement and the birth of Musk's second kid, a son named Techno, with Zilis, born shortly after the twins.
Considered a rising star in the tech industry, Shivon's association with Elon Musk has recently brought her a great deal of public attention. Here’s what we know about Zilis and her connection to the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, while details are still kept confidential.
Zilis, is a top executive at another of Musk’s companies, the brain-chip startup Neuralink. The 36-year-old works in the capacity of Director of Operations and Special Projects. Though Shivon was born in Canada, her mother, Sharda, hails from India. Zilis acknowledged her ethnicity in a 2015 interview with USA Today, saying she "pretty much turned out white," probably alluding to her physical attributes. She did, however, give credit to her Punjabi background for her big eyes, implying a link to her mother's Indian roots.
Zilis joined Musk’s Neuralink back in May 2017 and has earlier been a part of some other ventures of the world’s richest man, OpenAI, and flagship firm Tesla.
She pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Arts, Economics, and Philosophy from Yale University in the US. She has also been part of some prestigious recognitions including LinkedIn’s 35 under 35 list.
Although Zilis and Musk's relationship remains private, court records show that they welcomed twins together in November 2021. The fact that this information was finally made public in July 2022 underscores the couple's desire for solitude.
In June 2024, reports surfaced indicating that Zilis had given birth to their third child, further expanding Musk’s already large family.
