Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has welcomed his 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. The news was shared by Zilis on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, where she expressed her deep affection for their newest addition.

Zilis' post read:
"Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much."

Musk responded to her announcement with a heart emoji, acknowledging the joyous occasion.

Musk and Zilis' Growing Family

This marks Musk and Zilis' fourth child together. The pair had previously welcomed twins Strider and Azure in November 2021, followed by their daughter Arcadia last year.

Beyond his children with Zilis, Musk also shares three kids with musician Grimes, and six children with his ex-wife Justine Wilson—one of whom tragically passed away in infancy.

Ongoing Controversy

Musk’s growing family has made headlines amid legal disputes regarding another child. Conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair has filed a paternity and custody lawsuit against Musk, alleging that the billionaire has not been involved in their child's life.

A spokesperson for St. Clair told PEOPLE:
"This has never been about money for Ashley. This is about protecting the best interests of Ashley and Elon’s child from a man who can’t be counted on to even communicate, much less act consistently in the role of a father."

The statement further criticized Musk’s online activity, claiming:
"Mr. Musk spends more time on his own social media platform talking about his children’s mothers than talking to them."

While Musk has not publicly responded to the allegations, the legal battle continues, drawing significant public attention.

Musk’s Views on Parenthood

Despite his complex personal life, Musk has often emphasized the importance of increasing the birth rate, citing population decline as one of the biggest risks to civilization. He has previously stated that he is doing his part to combat this issue.

As Musk continues to make headlines for both his personal and professional ventures, his latest addition to the family adds another chapter to the billionaire’s ever-expanding legacy.
