Elon Musk’s family grows as he welcomes his 14th child

Tech billionaire and US President Donald Trump's close aide Elon Musk confirmed the arrival of his 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. 

The couple already shares twins, Strider and Azure, aged 3, and a 1-year-old daughter named Arcadia.

Announcing the news on X, Zilis wrote, “Discussed with Elon [Musk] 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 Zilis' announcement on X with a red heart emoji, welcoming their newest addition to the family.

The birth of Musk's 14th child comes just two weeks after Ashley St. Clair, a 26-year-old MAGA influencer, claimed that she had given birth to Musk’s 13th child.

“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she wrote.

Musk has a large family, including four children with Zilis, five with his first wife Justine Wilson, and three with the musician Grimes.

The Independent quoted Clair, stating that the billionaire, who she described as “down to earth” and “funny” had asked her to keep his name off the birth certificate to protect his privacy. 

Elon Musk long advocated for increased population growth, warning that a decline in birth rates could have catastrophic consequences for human civilisation.
