Elon Musk, who is well-known for his audacious space and AI endeavors, has also earned the title of father to fourteen children. The delivery of their newest kid, Seldon Lycurgus, was verified by Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, who already had three children with his partner. Zilis wrote on X (previously Twitter) on February 28, 2025, “We felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus after discussing it with Elon and considering the birthday of beautiful Arcadia.” Constructed like a juggernaut, with a strong, gold heart. I adore him. Musk’s response was straightforward: a heart emoji. The news opens a new chapter in Musk’s complicated personal life, where his expanding family and his view of procreation as a social obligation appear to mesh well.
In 2021, Musk and Zilis became parents to Strider and Azure, their first twins born through IVF. In 2024, Musk confirmed the birth of their third child, Arcadia, just a few months later. At the time, he told Page Six, “Everyone in our family and friends is aware.” “It is not a secret if a press release is not issued, which would be strange.” Zilis, a well-known Neuralink artificial intelligence specialist, has been candid about her reasons for choosing to have children with Musk. She stated: “He really wants smart people to have kids, so he encouraged me to,” according to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Elon Musk. “I can’t possibly think of genes I would prefer for my children,” she continued.
Ashley St. Clair’s Claims: Another Paternity Claim
Two weeks before to Zilis’ announcement, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair made waves when she claimed that Musk was also the father of her child. On X, she posted on February 14, 2025: “I gave birth to a young child five months ago. The dad is Elon Musk. In order to safeguard our child’s safety and privacy, I have not previously exposed this, but it has been evident in recent days that the tabloid media plans to do so regardless of the harm it may cause. “Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time,” said her lawyer, Brian Glicklich. To put an end to unjustified rumors, we are waiting for Elon to openly acknowledge his parenting role with Ashley. Regarding this assertion, Musk has said nothing in public.
Musk’s family tree is almost as intricate as his company. Musk has a complicated family tree that includes several relationships. Six of his children, including triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian and twins Griffin and Vivian, were born to his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson. Unfortunately, their first child, Nevada, died of SIDS at 10 weeks of age. In 2022, Vivian Jenna Wilson, his eldest child with Wilson, made news when she openly severed her relationship with her father by legally changing her name and gender. Beyond his biological offspring, Musk has a well-established procreation ethic. He said on X in 2022: “I’m doing everything I can to address the underpopulation crisis.” By far the greatest threat to civilization is a declining birth rate.
Musk and musician Grimes welcomed X Æ A-Xii into the world in 2020. Two further children, Techno Mechanicus and Exa Dark Siderael, were born through surrogacy. Since then, the ex-couple has been involved in custody battles in court. Zilis then gave birth to twins Strider Sekhar Sirius and Azure Astra Alice in 2021, and Arcadia in 2024. Seldon Lycurgus, their newest child, has now joined the family. St. Clair, who just submitted a paternity petition, claims that Musk is the father of their child. As a child, Maye Musk, who was born in Canada, relocated to South Africa. She was once a model and dietician and has continued to have a significant impact on Elon’s life. She continues to pursue her modeling profession while living in the United States.
Father Errol Musk
Errol Musk, who works as an engineer, has had a tense relationship with Elon Musk for many years. Errol has talked about his affection for his children in spite of their differences, while Elon has openly discussed their difficult background.
Tosca Musk and Kimbal Musk are siblings.
Kimbal is an entrepreneur and restaurateur, and Tosca is a filmmaker and the creator of the romance-focused streaming service Passionflix. Musk’s impact on technology and space exploration is undeniable, but the public is becoming more interested in his personal life. His unorthodox approach to family life continues to generate discussion, especially in light of the growing number of children with multiple partners and the ongoing paternity disputes. It remains to be known if he will respond to the most recent disclosures or keep his customary mysterious quiet. However, there is little doubt that Elon Musk’s legacy is inscribed not only in the stars but also in the increasing number of his family’s names.
