Elon Musk has another secret child with Neuralink executive

Reports indicate that Tesla and Neuralink CEO Elon Musk had another child with Shivon Zilis, who leads special projects at Neuralink. This addition marks their third child together with the previous two being twins born in 2021. Musk has petitioned to change their children's names to include his last name and incorporate Zilis's last name as a middle name.

Elon Musk now has a total of 11 publicly known children. He shares five children with his first wife, author Justine Musk, three with musician Grimes and three with Zilis. Musk has often voiced concerns about global underpopulation and believes that intelligent people should have more children. In 2021, he warned, "If people don't have more children, civilization is going to crumble."

Zilis has mentioned that Musk encouraged her to have children and offered to be the sperm donor. She is quoted in Walter Isaacson's biography, "Elon Musk," saying, "I can't possibly think of genes I would prefer for my children."

On Thursday, Musk stated about Europe's declining birth rates by reposting a chart and remarked that "civilization may end with a bang or with a whimper (in adult diapers)."

Additionally, a recent Wall Street Journal report revealed allegations from a former SpaceX employee who resigned in 2013. She claimed that Musk had repeatedly asked her to have his children. The report also noted accusations of Musk having inappropriate relationships with two employees, including an intern, and exposing himself to a flight attendant in 2016 allegedly offering to buy her a horse in exchange for sexual favors.
