Zilis confirmed the birth of their latest child in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, saying that after a discussion with Musk, they decided to share the news publicly. “Discussed with Elon, and in light of beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus,” she wrote. Zilis also described the child as “built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold.” Musk responded to the tweet with a heart emoji (), acknowledging the birth.

Elon Musk’s Growing Family and Fatherhood Controversy
Elon Musk is already a father to at least 12 children from multiple relationships, including his children with Grimes and Justine Musk. However, his expanding family has increased scrutiny regarding his parenting commitments, particularly in light of Ashley St. Clair’s recent accusations.
St. Clair, a conservative influencer, recently filed a lawsuit against Musk, claiming he was absent from their five-month-old son’s life. Despite the controversy, Musk appears unbothered by the claims. He has not publicly addressed the lawsuit, focusing instead on his companies and latest projects.
Grimes also called out Musk for not responding to her messages about their child’s medical issues and fans believe she was shadow banned on X when she wrote about the issues publicly.
