After Elon Musk Welcomed His 12th Child, People Keep Saying The Same Thing Elon Musk, the 52-year-old Tesla founder and tech mogul, has quietly welcomed a new member to his ever-growing family, and everyone is saying the same thing
Elon Musk, the 52-year-old CEO of Tesla, recently welcomed his 12th child, this time with Shivon Zilis, the director of special projects at his company, Neuralink. Musk has largely kept his children’s lives private, though some details have emerged, particularly through the 2023 biography by Walter Isaacson. His first child with Zilis, twins Azure and Strider, were born in November 2021, and the couple’s most recent child was revealed in late 2024.
Musk’s family history includes a tragic loss, with his first son, Nevada, dying from SIDS in 2002. He has twins and triplets from a previous marriage to Justine Wilson, and two children, X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Siderael, with musician Grimes. Musk’s growing family has drawn comparisons to Nick Cannon’s own large family, with many online users joking about a “competition” between the two. Despite some public curiosity, Musk has defended his private approach, dismissing claims that his children’s births are secretive and stressing that his family is well aware of his personal life.
