Washington, D.C. – Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk found himself at the center of attention once again for his personal life, as he publicly shared affectionate emojis with venture capitalist Shivon Zilis, the mother of his children. This exchange took place amidst controversy surrounding conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair, who claimed to have given birth to Musk’s 13th child.

Zilis, an executive at Musk’s Neuralink, recently posted a photo on social media with her twins, Strider and Azure, referring to them as the “Lil loves of my life” with red heart emojis. Musk responded with a heart-faced emoji, showcasing a warm interaction between the two. This exchange occurred shortly after St. Clair made startling claims about Musk.

St. Clair alleged that she had a relationship with Musk and that he had not finalized an agreement to recognize and support their supposed child. Despite the secrecy surrounding her pregnancy, St. Clair expressed no regrets about having Musk’s child, calling the baby “the most perfect thing that happened to me.”

Court documents revealed that Zilis and Musk’s twins were conceived through in vitro fertilization in 2021. The couple also welcomed a third child in 2024, although details about the child have not been disclosed publicly. Musk and Zilis were recently seen together in Washington, D.C., during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with their children and Musk’s son X from his previous relationship with Grimes.

Musk’s personal life has long been a subject of public fascination. Despite facing challenges and controversies in the realm of paternity claims, Musk’s expanding family continues to draw attention from the media and the public alike. The entrepreneur’s relationships and fatherhood journey have been closely followed over the years, adding an intriguing layer to his already complex persona.
