Just weeks before ex-girlfriend Grimes gave birth to their second kid, Elon Musk secretly welcomed twins with one of his top executives. The Tesla billionaire reportedly added twins to his family in November 2021 after Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis gave birth to them late last year.
He now has ten children and expressed his compliments to individuals who have large families while expressing his wish for others to increase their own broods. Recently, the information in a Business Insider article was released after they acquired court documents showing that the couple had petitioned to rename their twins. So, what are the twins named? Do they both have Elon Musk’s last name? Here is everything to know.

Elon Musk Petitioned To Have Twins’ Names Changed
Musk, 51, and Zilis, 36, reportedly petitioned to have the twins’ names changed so that they would “have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name,” according to Business Insider.
Although the names of the children are yet unknown, a judge in Austin, Texas, is said to have authorized the order in May. Page Six contacted Zilis and a representative for Musk for comments, but neither one responded.
The twins were born just a few weeks before Musk and his now ex-girlfriend Grimes had their second kid via surrogacy in December 2021, a girl named Exa Dark Sidereal. Additionally, they also share X A-Xii, a 2-year-old son.
Apart from his two kids with Grimes, Musk has five other living children, Griffin, Vivian Jenna, Kai, Saxon, and Damian. Musk, who is currently dating Natasha Bassett from “Britney Ever After,” shares two more children with his ex-wife Justine Wilson.
He and the Canadian author wed in January 2000, and Nevada Alexander was born to them in 2002. At only 10 weeks old, Nevada tragically perished from sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS.
“Right now there’s not much I can do. Grimes has a much bigger role than me right now,” he said of his then-partner. “When the kid gets older, there will be more of a role for me,” he elaborated at the time. “I think just doing what I’ve done with my other kids.”
