Billionaire business magnate and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, has added 14th child Seldon Lycurgus to his brood with Shivon Zilis. This is the couple’s fourth child together after twins Strider and Azure, 3, and daughter Arcadia, 1. The development is an indication of Musk’s public position on population growth, given that he has insisted time and again on a need to grow birth rates.
Musk and Zilis, who is an executive at Neuralink, have kept a low-profile relationship, with the births of their earlier children only becoming known months later. The newest member of their family, Seldon Lycurgus, has a name that seems to be inspired by historical and literary figures, consistent with Musk’s preference for unusual and significant names.
Apart from his children with Zilis, Musk has ten other kids from past relationships, five of whom are with his first wife, Justine Wilson, and three with singer Grimes. The billionaire entrepreneur has often expressed that he wants to see to it that humanity prospers by promoting more children, particularly among exceptionally smart people.
As Musk expands his business empire and personal legacy, his expanding family mirrors his vision of creating the future. Whether space exploration, AI, or human longevity is involved, Musk’s children could one day take up his ambitious vision for the world.
