Elon Musk has recently become a father for the 14th time. His newborn son is named Seldon Lycurgus, and the mother is Shivon Zilis, an executive at Musk's company, Neuralink. This is their fourth child together. Previously, they had twins Azur and Strider, born in 2021, and a daughter Arcadia, born in 2024.
Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis have welcomed their fourth child. On Friday, February 28, Zilis announced the news in a post on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that she and the 53-year-old Musk had a second son together, named Seldon Lycurgus. However, she did not disclose his birthdate.
"After discussing with Elon and in light of the beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was best to directly share about our extraordinary and incredible son, Seldon Lycurgus. He seems like an unbreakable force, yet his heart shines like gold. We love him dearly." – Shivon Zilis wrote in her post.
Musk's Growing Family
Apart from his children with Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk has fathered several children with different partners. He shares three children with musician Grimes and five children with his former wife, author Justine Wilson.
Recently, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed that Musk is the father of her five-month-old baby, bringing his total number of children to 14. A court has reportedly ordered Musk to appear in a custody case regarding this child.
Ashley St. Clair’s Claim
American author and social media influencer Ashley St. Clair has claimed that she is the mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child. The 31-year-old posted on her X (formerly Twitter) account that she gave birth to a child five months ago, fathered by Musk. She stated that she had kept the matter private for the sake of the child’s safety and privacy, but due to growing media attention, she felt compelled to make it public.
Ashley St. Clair is known for her conservative political views and has authored a children's book titled "Elephants Are Not Birds." She is also known for her outspoken political opinions on social media.
Musk has not publicly commented on St. Clair’s claim. However, he did respond to a post on X by a user named Milo, who alleged that Ashley had been planning to have Musk’s child for the past five years. Musk reacted with just one word: "Whoa." In response, Ashley St. Clair accused Musk of ignoring her attempts to contact him while reacting to public discussions about the matter. She later deleted her comment.
