Elon Musk has been pictured for the first time with Neuralink director Shivon Zilis and the twins they quietly had together nearly two years ago.
The twins Strider and Azure were born in November 2021, just weeks before Musk and Claire Boucher, the musician who performs as Grimes, had their second child via surrogate.
Musk’s complicated personal life includes three marriages and three divorces, including two of each with the same woman, and seven children from two long-term romances and the twins with Zilis they conceived via in vitro fertilization.
The author of Musk’s upcoming biography, Walter Isaacson, shared the picture of the Tesla CEO and Zilis with their two children, who were 16 months old at the time, on X (formerly Twitter).
Zilis, who was born in Ontario, Canada, met Musk through OpenAI, the artificial-intelligence research-and-deployment nonprofit Musk co-founded in 2015, Insider reported.

In 2015, Zilis was on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in the venture-capital category and in 2017, joined Musk’s brain chip company Neuralink as the director of operations and special projects, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Musk and Zilis filed a petition in April last year to change the twins’ names in order to ‘have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name,’ according to the court documents.
Isaacson’s picture of Musk, Zilis – ‘who had been his intellectual companion on artificial intelligence since the founding of OpenAI – and the twins was taken at Zilis’ house in Austin, Texas, according to an excerpt the biographer published in Time.
Musk’s other children come from relationships with Grimes and his ex-wife Canadian author Justine Wilson.
Musk and Grimes welcomed their second child Exa Dark Sideræl, who goes by Y, via surrogate in December 2021, just a few weeks after the twins with Zilis were born.
They have another child named X Æ A-Xii, aged 3.
He married his first wife, Justine Wilson, in 2000. Their first son Nevada tragically passed away at 10-weeks in 2002, before the couple welcomed twins Griffin and Xavier in 2004.

Musk and Wilson went on to have triplets, Kai, Saxon and Damian, in 2006, with all five children conceived via IVF.
He would then begin dating singer Grimes in April 2018, and the eccentric couple captured headlines when they made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala the following month.
Amid a series of breakups and reconnections, the pair welcomed their son ‘X AE A-XII’ in May 2020.

Twins Griffin and Vivian Jenna Wilson (formerly Xavier), aged 19
After losing Nevada, Musk and Wilson – who were married between 2000 and 2008 – turned to IVF to grow their family.
Wilson gave birth to twin sons Griffin and Xavier Musk in April 2004.
In April, Xavier filed court documents seeking to legally change from male to female and lose their last name, stating: ‘I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form.’
Xavier Musk, 18, filed the paperwork in Santa Monica, California, on April 18, seeking to be known as Vivian Jenna Wilson, taking the maiden name of her mother Justine Wilson, who was married to Musk from 2000 to 2008 and shares 18-year-old twins Xavier and Griffin and 16-year-old triplets Damian, Kai and Saxon.
The transgender teenager explained that they wish to take their mother’s last name to distance them from their dad but they have not commented on whether they receive financial support from their dad.

Triplets Damian, Kai and Saxon, aged 17
Musk and Wilson also used IVF to have triplet sons Damian, Kai and Saxon in January 2006.
The couple divorced in 2008 and they share custody of their five sons.

X AE A-Xii Musk, aged 3
Musk started dating singer Grimes in May 2018 and she gave birth to their son X AE A-Xii, in May 2020.
Their son was originally named X Æ A-12, but ‘Æ’ and ’12’ violated California law, which prohibits the use of any numbers of symbols in a name. The couple then changed the spelling of their son’s name.
Instead of X Æ A-12, they revealed just a few weeks after the baby was born that his birth certificate would be registered under the name X AE A-Xii – using the Roman numeral version of the number ’12’ and changing the character æ to AE.
The couple then broke up in September 2021.

New set of twins, Strider and Azure, aged 1
It has emerged that Musk quietly had twins with one of his top executives weeks before he welcomed a child with Grimes via surrogate.
In November 2021, the Tesla CEO, 51, reportedly had twins with Shivon Zilis, 36, the director of operations at Musk’s brain-machine interface company Neuralink, Insider reported. He now has nine known children.

Grimes and Musk later welcomed their first daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, via surrogate in December 2021.
Grimes referred to Musk as her ‘boyfriend’ in a Vanity Fair interview, but after the interview was published, she took to Twitter to reveal that they had since broken up.
‘Me and E have broken up *again* since the writing of this article,’ she wrote on March 10. ‘But he’s my best friend and the love of my life.’
