The Full List: All 14 Children Of Elon Musk And The Shocking Truth About The 14th Child, Seldon Lycurgus
The family tree of billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk has grown once again, reaching a confirmed total of 14 children with four different women as of early 2025. This unprecedented expansion, driven by Musk’s public stance on the global birth rate crisis, has placed his personal life under an intense spotlight, with the announcement of his 14th child sparking a fresh wave of curiosity and confusion.
The latest news, confirmed in February 2025, reveals the birth of the 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis. This addition solidifies Zilis's position as the mother of four of Musk's children. However, the exact count remains confusing due to a separate, highly publicized claim by conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who alleges she gave birth to a child named Romulus, further complicating the public narrative surrounding the "Musk-eteers."
Elon Musk's Complete Family Biography: The 14 Children
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and owner of X (formerly Twitter), is a father to 14 known children from four partners. His approach to fatherhood is as unconventional as his business ventures, often selecting unique names that blend technology, science fiction, and historical references. Here is the chronological list of his children and their mothers, updated for 2025:
- With Justine Wilson (Author) – 6 Children
- Nevada Alexander Musk (2002): Tragically died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks old.
- Griffin Musk (Twin, born 2004)
- Vivian Jenna Wilson (Twin, born 2004): Formerly Xavier Alexander Musk; legally changed her name and gender in 2022.
- Kai Musk (Triplet, born 2006)
- Saxon Musk (Triplet, born 2006)
- Damian Musk (Triplet, born 2006)
- With Grimes (Claire Elise Boucher, Musician) – 3 Children
- X Æ A-Xii (X) (Born May 4, 2020): Originally named X Æ A-12, the name was later changed to comply with California law.
- Exa Dark Sideræl Musk (Y) (Born December 2021): Born via surrogate.
- Techno Mechanicus (Tau) (Born 2023): His existence was revealed in a biography of Musk.
- With Shivon Zilis (Neuralink Executive) – 4 Children
- Strider Musk (Twin, born 2021)
- Azure Musk (Twin, born 2021)
- Arcadia Musk (Born 2023/2024): The third child with Zilis, whose birth was kept private until later reports.
- Seldon Lycurgus Musk (Born Late 2024/Early 2025): The confirmed 14th child.
- With Ashley St. Clair (Conservative Influencer) – 1 Child (Disputed Claim)
- Romulus Musk (Born 2024): Claimed by St. Clair to be the 13th child, though paternity is reportedly disputed by Musk, creating a complex narrative around the true count.
Seldon Lycurgus: The Confirmed 14th Child and the Zilis Lineage
The official confirmation of the 14th child, Seldon Lycurgus Musk, with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, has put a definitive number on Musk's growing family as of early 2025. Seldon is the fourth child Zilis has welcomed with the billionaire, further strengthening her connection to the Musk family's inner circle.
Zilis, the Director of Operations and Special Projects at Neuralink, and Musk first welcomed twins, Strider and Azure, in 2021, just weeks before his second child with Grimes was born. The twins' birth was initially kept private, only becoming public knowledge in mid-2022. The third child, Arcadia, was also born in a private capacity, with details emerging later in 2024.
The name Seldon Lycurgus continues Musk's tradition of choosing names with deep, often classical or science-fiction, roots. The name "Seldon" is a clear nod to Hari Seldon, the fictional mathematician and founder of psychohistory in Isaac Asimov's seminal Foundation series, a known favorite of Musk's. "Lycurgus" refers to the legendary lawgiver of Sparta, tying the name to themes of strict governance and societal structure, entities highly relevant to the tech magnate's worldview.
The Romulus Controversy: The Disputed 15th Child Claim
The public's confusion over the exact number of Musk's children stems from a separate, highly contentious claim involving conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair. St. Clair came forward in late 2024, claiming she secretly gave birth to Musk's son, whom she named Romulus, a name referencing the mythical founder of Rome. She alleged that Musk requested the baby be kept a "secret forever" and that a paternity dispute was ongoing.
This claim, if proven true, would technically make Romulus the 13th child (born before Seldon) and Seldon the 14th, or potentially Seldon the 14th and Romulus the 15th, depending on the exact timing and public acknowledgment. However, without official confirmation or a public statement from Musk regarding Romulus, the confirmed total remains at 14, with Seldon Lycurgus being the latest addition. The intense media coverage surrounding St. Clair's allegations highlights the complexity and secrecy surrounding the tech billionaire's rapidly expanding family.
Elon Musk’s Philosophy: Procreating to Combat Population Collapse
Musk’s decision to have a large family is not merely a personal choice but is intrinsically linked to his public philosophy on global demographics. He has repeatedly warned about the dangers of a declining birth rate, calling it one of the biggest threats to human civilization. This topical authority is a constant driving factor in his personal life, making his growing family a real-world embodiment of his beliefs. He views having children as a moral imperative and a necessary step to ensure the future of humanity, a sentiment often echoed in his statements about his children.
This philosophy, coupled with the unique names and unconventional family structure, keeps the public perpetually fascinated by the "Musk-eteers." The presence of four different mothers—Justine Wilson, Grimes, Shivon Zilis, and the claimed Ashley St. Clair—shows a highly modern and non-traditional approach to family-building, prioritizing the mission of procreation over conventional relational models. The continuous news of new arrivals, like Seldon Lycurgus, serves as a constant reminder of the billionaire's commitment to his demographic vision, blending his personal life with his global, future-focused agenda.
