According to a report from Bloomberg, the baby was born earlier this year to his partner Shivon Zilis (38), the CEO of neurotechnology company Neuralink.

The couple welcomed their twins Strider and Azure into the world in November 2021, so the newborn would be their third child together – but the twelfth overall for the tech billionaire.

In addition to his three kids with Shivon Zilis, Musk shares three kids with the musician Grimes and five children (twins and triplets) with ex-wife Justine Wilson.

The name and gender of the new Musk baby is currently unknown and neither Zilis nor the Tesla founder himself have confirmed the rumors about the birth yet.

Although Musk often communicates his thoughts quite openly on the X platform, he tends to keep private topics such as his family under wraps.

On X, Musk has repeatedly made it clear how important demographics are.

"Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis," he wrote in a 2022 X post.

"A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far," he added.
