Elon Musk & Shivon Zilis: The Twin Turn‑Ups and a Whole Lot More!
Picture this: the man who’s been co‑creating rockets and critiquing the planet’s future just gave birth to a pair of little Stars — apparently with the help of Shivon Zilis. And no, it wasn’t a bad dream. It was a whole legal fiasco and a tweet‑worthy joke.
Two Twins, One Name Change
- In November 2021, Musk and the Neuralink big‑wig Shivon welcomed twins — the duo that could get their first tickets for a SpaceX launch just by waving.
- Fast forward to April: the duo filed a court petition hoping to rebalance those baby names. Officially, they want Musk’s surname (“Musk”) as the kids’ last name, with Shivon’s maiden name cozied up in the middle.
- By May 11, the judge signed off on the request. The new legal log says those little ones will officially carry “Musk” on their birth certificates.
Why Are We Talking About Names?
It might feel like a headline recipe for a mind‑blowing cocktail, but it’s pretty mundane: parents just want their kids from the cosmos to have a family name that sticks. If the twins are part Musk, part Zilis, why not let everyone know about the mix-up? Because it’s super parent‑intuitive.
When the Inspirational Tweet Comes Out
On July 7, Musk glided into Twitter’s feed with a performance‑like tweet: “Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis.” No mention of the twins or the legal crusade, just a cosmic bit of future‑planning. Later, he added, “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.”
Count the Chaos
- Musk’s total children climb to nine after the twins (and after the second kid with Grimes, who arrived via a surrogate in December).
- He shares two kids with Canadian singer Grimes, and five more with his ex‑wife Justine Wilson.
- We’ve got a half‑separated duo (per a Page Six report), but at least they’re still throwing out the ball — no tight knit undestanding, but the kids get milk and love.
What About Without a Response?
Even though Musk and Zilis are both high‑profile, neither shot back an official statement to our inquiries. Even the “irresistible” LinkedIn profile killer of Zilis shows she’s a director at Neuralink and a board member at OpenAI… as if that weren’t enough talk gold.
P.S. The Thought Experiments
Interestingly, rumors about Zilis possibly stepping into a Twitter role after Musk’s colossal takeover ring true today? It seems that behind every high‑tech bragging right lies a story of a tangled corporate wedding.
So now, we’re all feline for Elon Musk’s infant twins, a new legal name party, a tweet that hits the cultural skull, and a growing list of nine children. Let the baby naming wars begin!
