Tesla CEO Elon Musk welcomed a third child with Shivon Zilis, an executive at his brain chip implant company Neuralink, earlier this year, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The birth came after Musk, 52, revealed in 2022 that he and Zilis, 38, had welcomed a set of twins, a boy and a girl, named Strider and Azure, in November 2021. supposedly through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
However, the sex and name of his third child with Zilis are still unknown. New York Post reported.
Musk, who is one of the richest people in the world, has fathered at least 12 children, six of whom he welcomed in the last five years.
The six children she recently welcomed include her three children she shares with her ex-partner, Canadian pop star Grimes.
She gave birth to her son X Æ A-Xii in May 2020 before welcoming a daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl, via surrogate in December 2021.
Their third child, Techno Mechanicus, was kept private until the author of Musk's autobiography, Walter Isaacson, referred to Grimes as “the mother of three of Musk's children” in his book.
Musk has previously joked that he is doing “the best he can to help the underpopulation crisis,” which he sees as “the biggest danger facing civilization.”
Last week, Musk released a graphic claiming that Europe is suffering a “fertility crisis,” saying that “civilization can end with a bang or a whimper (in adult diapers).”
Meanwhile, the United Nations predicts that the world's population will continue to rise to reach 10 billion by the end of the century, even though global growth rates are slowing, according to the outlet.
