Elon Musk, who complained about the decrease in birth rates in the past months and said that more children should be made, and who was also in court for allegedly abusing his employees, came up with a shocking news today. Business Insider has found court documents that the 51-year-old billionaire had twins last November. Moreover, the boy’s mother was Shivon Zilis, a senior executive at Neuralink.
Documents obtained showed that Musk and 36-year-old Zilis wanted to change the name of their newborn twins. According to the document, the duo wanted their children’s surname to be Musk, and their mother’s surname to be a middle name. The request was upheld by the judge in Texas. The number of ‘known’ children Musk has thus increased to 9.
The request of Elon Musk and the mother of the twins, Shivon Zilis:
While the names of the children were not shared by Insider for confidentiality reasons, Musk also fathered another child during the birth of the twins. Two weeks after the twins were born, Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes (Claire Boucher) also gave birth to their second child.
So who is Shivon Zilis? How did he meet Elon Musk?
Shivon Zilis is making his name known more and more every day with his achievements in the world of technology. Zilis, who received her BA in economics and philosophy from Yale University in 2008, started her career at IBM. Then it switched to Bloomberg Beta. Zilis managed to enter Forbes’ ‘Under 30′ list in 2015.
Zilis’ acquaintance with Musk took place while working at OpenAI. Today, the youngest person on OpenAI’s board of directors, Zilis served as a project manager at Tesla in 2017. He then transferred to Neuralink, another company of Elon Musk, and currently serves as operations and special projects manager. Zilis’ name was also among the names that Musk could put in charge after purchasing Twitter.
