Elon Musk is at it again, no, not launching rockets into space, but launching another baby into the world. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO has confirmed that he recently welcomed a new son, Seldon Lycurgus, with tech executive Shivon Zilis. With this latest arrival, Musk now boasts a staggering 14 children. Yes, you read that right, 14!

On February 28, 2025, Zilis took to social media to spill the tea and share this joyous news. In a heartfelt post, she celebrated the birth in a rather poetic tone, praising little Seldon for being “built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold”. Heart emoji included. Because obviously, even when he acknowledges your birth, you need a sprinkle of his legendary flair.

You see, Musk doesn’t just create headlines with his electric cars or recent Twitter escapades. Oh no, he prefers shocking the world with his baby-making prowess too. This latest addition doesn’t even come close to his more controversial escapades, like his alleged 13th child welcomed just five months ago with author Ashley St. Clair. Who needs personal life stability when you can just keep adding to the chaos?

Zilis and Musk aren’t your average couple; they first embarked on their parenthood journey via IVF in 2021 with twins named Strider and Azure, followed by another little one named Arcadia just a year ago. Clearly, the couple knows how to keep it discreet, well, semi-discreet, because according to Musk, failing to send out press releases about new additions (more like new employees to his personal ecosystem) does not mean they should be labeled as ‘secret children’.

In an inspiring twist, Zilis has shared her motivation for choosing Musk as her child’s father. In a biography by Walter Isaacson, she stated, “He really wants smart people to have kids, so he encouraged me to”. Well, if that ain’t the premise for the next big reality show, we don’t know what is. Let’s follow her logic: why not have kids with the person you admire most? It’s like a tech-driven matchmaking game.

Let’s not forget about the rest of Musk’s lion-sized family tree, which includes twins Vivian and Griffin, 20, triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, 19, as well as a roster of kids with his former partners. If you thought keeping track of your friend’s birthdays was tough, imagine being the child of someone whose schedule looks like it’s planned out on a rocket launch timeline.

In a world where most of us are struggling to pay rent or get a handle on work-life balance, Musk’s growing brood is a little reminder of the occasional absurdity in life, and just how wildly different our personal goals can be. Maybe the secret isn’t just in the ambitions but in the number of kids you have? Good luck, Earth; we’ll need it!
