The CEO of X, Elon Musk, has welcomed his 14th child with Shivon Zilis, with whom he already has three children.
Musk made this known in a joint announcement with Zilis on Friday.
Zilis, who did not reveal when the baby was born, said his name is Seldon Lycurgus.
In a post on her X handle, Zilis wrote: “Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to also just share about our wonderful and incredible son, Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold.”
In response, Musk simply replied with a love emoji.
This marks the fourth child for Musk and Zilis together.
The Eastern Updates reports that the duo welcomed their twins, Strider and Azure, in November 2021, followed by the birth of another child, Arcadia.
Approximately one in three staff members at Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has walked away from their roles, rejecting the directive to enact controversial changes. In their view, the proposed measures pose a serious threat to the country, prompting this wave of resignations as a stand against the overhaul.
“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” 21 staffers of DOGE wrote in a letter, seen by AFP on Tuesday, to White House chief of staff Susan Wiles.
“However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments,” they added.
The employees initially contributed their skills to the United States Digital Service (USDS), an agency that morphed into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) shortly after President Donald Trump assumed office on January 20, 2025. Elon Musk swiftly emerged as the driving force behind this revamped entity, effectively taking the helm.
Musk serves as the ideological architect of DOGE, deploying a select team of staunch supporters—drawn from his vast sphere of influence—to infiltrate various government branches, where they’re tasked with drastically reducing federal personnel and budgets.
Although he doesn’t hold the official title of DOGE’s head, the trailblazing CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is unequivocally shaping its direction, even earning a spot at Trump’s first cabinet gathering on Wednesday, February 26, 2025, signaling his deep involvement in the administration’s inner circle.
