Elon Musk is a busy man. Between Tesla, SpaceX, the social media platform X, and his budding political career, the South African businessman seemingly has little downtime. However, Elon Musk recently welcomed his 14th child, his fourth with Neuralink director Sivon Zilis.
To recap, Elon has six children with his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson. This includes their son, Nevada (who died at 10 weeks old from SIDS); twins Griffin and Vivian, 20; and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian, 18. He also welcomed three kids with Canadian singer Grimes: son X Æ A-Xii, 4, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, 3, and son, Techno Mechanicus, 2.
Additionally, Elon shares girl-boy twins Azure and Strider, 3, a daughter, Arcadia, 1, Neuralink director Shivon Zilis—and now, a fourth child.

Elon Musk welcomed his 14th child with Shivon Zilis.
On February 28, Shivon took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the arrival of Elon’s 14th child.
“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,” she wrote. “Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much.”
On X, Elon responded to the baby news.
The primary owner of X publicly acknowledged his newest child on the platform. In the comments of Shivon’s post, Musk simply replied, “♥️.”
An unnamed source also told People that he “really loves Shivon.”
What does the name Seldon Lycurgus mean?
So, what does the name “Seldon Lycurgus” mean, anyway? “Seldon” is of English origin and means “from the house on the hill,” according to Nameberry. Meanwhile, “Lycurgus” refers to the “Spartan lawgiver who shaped Sparta’s military-driven society.”
On Reddit, critics took aim at the unique name given to Elon’s newest baby. One person wrote, “Seldon Lycurgus sounds like a phlegmy throat disorder,” and another added, “Or a type of fungus.” Another critic suggested the name sounds “like a phlegmatic disease.”

Two weeks before, Ashley St. Clair claimed that Elon had fathered her child.
On February 14, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair claimed via X that she gave birth to Eon’s 13th child in 2024.
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world,” she wrote. “Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”
She continued, “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”
