According to recent court records, Elon Musk had two children with Shivon Zilis, a senior executive at his artificial intelligence business Neuralink, last year.
The richest man in the world currently has nine known children, including five with his first wife Justine Musk and two with musician Claire Boucher, better known by her stage name Grimes.
Shivon Zilis children: Who are Shivon Zilis’ twins?
Elon Musk and Zilis petitioned the court to modify the names of their twin children so that they would “have their father’s last name and incorporate their mother’s last name as part of their middle name,” according to court documents obtained by Insider and made public on Wednesday.
The judge granted the petition, which was submitted in Austin, Texas, the city where the infants were born.
Weeks before Musk and Boucher had their second kid via a surrogate, Zilis reportedly gave birth in November.
Zilis, 36, a Canadian-born economics and philosophy graduate of Yale, began his career at IBM before moving on to Bloomberg Beta, a venture capital firm.
Zilis’ LinkedIn profile states that she is employed by Musk’s neurotechnology company Neuralink as director of operations and special projects. Neuralink aims to develop human-machine interfaces. She started working there in May 2017.
