Elon Musk, the tech billionaire known for his work with Tesla and SpaceX, has recently welcomed his 12th child. This news came to light earlier this year when it was reported that Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis had their third child together.
While details about the new baby, including the name and gender, remain unknown, Musk has clarified that the child was not a secret. He mentioned that their friends and family were aware of the new addition to their family, despite not issuing a formal press release.
This latest child joins Musk’s growing family, which includes five children from his previous marriage to Justine Wilson, as well as children from his relationship with musician Grimes. Musk and Grimes have been in the spotlight for their unconventional baby names, including X Æ A-Xii and Exa Dark Sideræl, who is known as “Y.”
Musk’s commitment to expanding his family aligns with his belief in the importance of intelligent individuals having children. In a biography by Walter Isaacson, Zilis shared that Musk was eager to have children with her to ensure that they would inherit his intelligence.
As Musk continues to navigate fatherhood with a large and diverse family, he joins other celebrity fathers like Nick Cannon in embracing the joys and challenges of raising multiple children. With his passion for innovation and progress, Musk’s expanding family reflects his commitment to shaping the future generation.
Despite his busy schedule and high-profile projects, Musk’s dedication to his family remains a priority. As he balances his responsibilities as a father of 12 with his groundbreaking work in technology and space exploration, Musk’s journey as a parent continues to evolve.
With each new addition to his family, Musk’s legacy extends beyond his professional achievements, leaving a lasting impact on future generations. As he embraces the role of fatherhood with enthusiasm and dedication, Musk’s influence reaches far beyond the realm of science and technology.
