Elon Musk had twins with top executive, who is Shivon Zilis?

Elon Musk's private life is not entirely easy to understand, because there are a lot of women and children in his life. He was married to the Canadian writer Justine Musk from 2000 to 2008. They have a son, but he died of sudden infant death syndrome. Later, thecouple had twins, then triplets.

Seven children

Following the divorce, he has an on-off marriage with Talulah Riley, has a brief relationship with Amber Heard, and since 2018 he has been dating singer Grimes.

In 2020, the two welcomed their son X AE A-XII, and in March 2022, they were rumoured to have had another child via surrogate as early as December 2021. So by this time, Elon Musk had already had seven children.

Two more children

However, as Business Insider reported on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, the Tesla boss is said to have had twins in November 2021, bringing the number of children to nine, according to court documents. Musk and Shivon Zilis, the children's mother, reportedly applied for a name change in April so that the children would have the same last name as their father.

If you've been paying attention, you'll recognise that he allegedly had twins with Zilis in November 2021, followed by a daughter with Grimes the following month. Sky Newscites a report from Page Six which states that Musk and Grimes were‘semi-separated’last September.

Who is Shivon Zilis?

Shivon Zilis is 36 years old and director of operations and special projects at Neuralink - Musk's start-up that develops brain chips - according to her LinkedIn profile.

According to The Guardian, various animal rights organisations filed a complaint with the US Department of Agriculture for ‘animal abuse charges related to the monkeys used in Neuralink experiments’. Musk’s company has called the claims ‘misleading’.

Zilis and Musk are said to share the same sense of humour and fascination for artificial intelligence, as reported by The Guardian:

She is considered a rising star in the world of artificial intelligence and has been listed on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in and LinkedIn’s 35 Under 35.

According to MSN, Zilis and Musk's family planning could be viewed negatively in the US because Musk is above the top executive in the company hierarchy. The Business Insider reports that Zilis is among the possible people Musk could put in charge of the short message service after his Twitter takeover.
