When it comes to Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, we’ve learned to expect the unexpected. From revolutionizing space travel with SpaceX to reshaping the auto industry with Tesla, Musk is no stranger to making headlines. But this time, it’s not his business empire that has people talking—it’s his expanding family.
🇺🇸 Musk, now the father of 14 children, has just welcomed his 4th child with Shivon Zilis, a top executive at his AI company xAI. 👶 But while baby announcements are usually filled with joy and congratulations, this one left the internet absolutely speechless—and the reason?
Elon Musk’s 14th Child: A Shocking Name Choice?
If you’ve been following Musk’s unconventional approach to baby names, you already know he doesn’t go for anything remotely normal. His first child with singer Grimes, for example, was named X Æ A-12 Musk (later modified to X AE A-Xii to comply with California law). His other kids include names like Exa Dark Sideræl Musk and Techno Mechanicus Musk.
So, when the news broke that Musk and Shivon Zilis had welcomed their fourth child together, the biggest question wasn’t just “Is it a boy or a girl?”—it was “What did they name this one?”
And Musk did not disappoint.
According to sources, the child’s name is (insert rumored name here), and the internet completely lost it.
Why Does Elon Musk Pick Such Unusual Baby Names?
While most parents stick to traditional or even trendy names, Musk has taken a radically different approach—and there’s a method to his madness.
🚀 A Love for Science & Mathematics
Many of his children’s names are inspired by technology, space, and artificial intelligence—a reflection of his own futuristic mindset. For example:
“X” represents the unknown variable in mathematics.
“Æ” is an old English character meaning “Artificial Intelligence” in Musk’s world.
“A-12” was inspired by the Archangel 12, a precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird jet.
🧠 A Desire to Stand Out
Musk has repeatedly said he doesn’t care about traditional norms—whether in business, technology, or even parenting. His choice of baby names might be his way of challenging conventional thinking.
💡 A Belief in the Future of AI
Given that Shivon Zilis is a leading expert in artificial intelligence and works with Musk at xAI, some speculate that their children’s names could be symbolic of a future where AI and humanity merge. Could Musk be preparing his kids to be the next generation of tech pioneers?
