Elon Musk secretly fathered twins with Shivon Zilis — one of the top executives at his company Neurolink — late last year, a new report from Business Insider claims.
According to court documents obtained by the media, the Tesla mogul expanded his family with Zilis in November 2021.
Business Insider reports that Musk and Zilis filed a petition to change the twins' names so that they "have their father's last name and keep their mother's last name as part of their middle name." The order was reportedly approved by a judge in Austin, Texas, in May, although the names of the children remain unknown.
According to Business Insider, the twins were born just weeks before Musk and his ex-partner Grimes welcomed their second child, a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl, via a surrogate in December 2021. They also have son together 2-year-old, X Æ A-Xii.
Musk ka edhe pesë fëmijë të tjerë me ish-bashkëshorten Justine Wilson: Griffin, Vivian Jenna, Kai, Saxon dhe Damian. Pasi u martuan në janar të vitit 2000, ai dhe autorja kanadeze mirëpritën djalin Nevada Alexander dy vjet më vonë. Nevada vdiq tragjikisht nga sindroma e vdekjes së papritur të foshnjave, ose SIDS, kur ishte vetëm 10-javësh.
Musk shpjegoi qasjen e tij ndaj atësisë në një intervistë të vitit 2020 në New York Times, duke pranuar se ai nuk luan një rol të rëndësishëm në jetën e fëmijëve të tij kur ata janë të vegjël.
"At the moment I can't do much. Grimes has a much bigger role than I do now," he said of his then-partner. "When the child grows up, I will have more of a role. I guess I'm just doing what I've done with my other kids."
