23-6-2024 (CALIFORNIA) Tech billionaire Elon Musk has quietly welcomed another child into the world, this time with a top executive from one of his own companies, according to a recent report by Bloomberg. The news has sent ripples through the industry, shedding light on the unconventional personal life of the enigmatic entrepreneur.
Shivon Zilis, the director of special projects at Neuralink – a company co-founded and co-led by Musk – reportedly gave birth to his child earlier this year, marking the third instance of Musk fathering a child with the executive.
The revelation comes on the heels of previous reports indicating that Musk had twins with Zilis in 2021, a fact that surfaced through court documents where the billionaire sought to change the twins’ surnames to incorporate both his and their mother’s last names.
Musk’s growing brood has sparked widespread speculation and curiosity, as the exact number of his children remains shrouded in mystery. However, it is known that he has 11 publicly acknowledged offspring – five with his first wife, author Justine Musk, three with musician Grimes, and now three with Zilis.
The news of Musk’s latest child arrives in the wake of a Wall Street Journal report alleging that the entrepreneur had engaged in “boundary-blurring relationships” with female employees at his aerospace company, SpaceX. The report detailed an instance where a former SpaceX employee claimed that Musk had propositioned her on multiple occasions to bear his children, an offer she declined, purportedly leading to her being denied a raise and eventually leaving the company with a substantial exit package.
Musk’s stance on population growth has been a subject of public discourse for years, with the billionaire expressing concerns over declining birth rates and their potential threat to civilization. He has been vocal in encouraging his peers and friends to have more children, asserting his commitment to addressing what he deems as the “underpopulation crisis.”
The ideology of producing genetically superior offspring as a means to counteract falling birth rates has gained traction among certain influential figures in the tech industry, with Musk emerging as a prominent proponent of this viewpoint.
