Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis turned heads again. This time, they were together at a major political event. The billionaire Tesla CEO met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Washington, D.C. Shivon, a Neuralink executive and mother of three of Musk’s children, was right by his side.
A family affair in Washington
Shivon made a statement with her outfit—purple plaid skirt, matching blouse, and knee-high leather boots. She sat beside Elon, holding one of their children on her lap. Another child read a book at their feet. Musk’s son, X Æ A-12, known as ‘X,’ whom he shares with Grimes, was also present. He played with his half-siblings, creating a rare family moment.
Photographers caught more revealing moments. Musk and Shivon were seen leaving the historic Blair House. Elon walked ahead, while Shivon followed, holding their children’s hands tightly. The images have fueled fresh speculation about their relationship status.
Secret twins & hidden romance
The world first learned about Musk and Shivon’s connection in November 2021. It was revealed that she had secretly given birth to twins, Strider and Azure, in June of that year. Shockingly, they arrived just weeks before Elon welcomed a child with Grimes. The news stunned many, including Grimes, who reportedly learned about the twins a month after their birth.
The truth about their children
Reports later confirmed that Elon had donated sperm to Shivon through IVF. Their relationship remained ambiguous. Then, in June 2024, Musk shocked fans again. He announced that he and Shivon had welcomed another child earlier in the year. They have kept the baby’s gender and name under wraps.
In October 2023, more rumors swirled. Shivon reportedly moved into a $35 million mansion in Austin, Texas. Musk allegedly bought the property with a grand vision—housing all 11 of his children under one roof.
Together at Mar-a-Lago
In November 2023, Elon brought Shivon to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. She appeared in the background of a high-profile photo featuring Musk and Trump at a black-tie gala. Another image fueled romance rumors. In it, Elon and Shivon stood united, holding hands with two of their children next to a swimming pool.
Musk’s complicated family tree
Elon Musk is a father of 12. His first six children were with ex-wife Justine Wilson, whom he divorced in 2008. He later had three children with Grimes. Tragically, one of his children with Justine passed away shortly after birth.
Rift with his transgender daughter
Musk’s relationship with his children has not always been smooth. He has been estranged from his transgender daughter, Vivian Wilson, for years. He publicly called her a ‘communist’ who believes ‘anyone rich is evil.’ He also claimed he was ‘tricked’ into allowing her to take puberty blockers.
Vivian fired back with harsh words. She accused Musk of being absent during her childhood. According to her, he harassed her for her femininity and queerness. ‘He doesn’t know what I was like as a child because he simply wasn’t there,’ she stated. She added that he reduced her to a stereotype, showing how he views queer people and children in general.
Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis continue to keep people guessing. With public appearances and shared children, they are clearly connected. But is there more to their relationship?
