Looks Like Elon Musk Has a Couple of Secret Kids — That He Had With One of His Employees

While we still don’t know if billionaire Elon Musk will buy Twitter or not, the clearly eccentric Tesla and SpaceX CEO likes a lot of media attention — whether it’s flattering or not, Uproxx notes. Certainly, the recent news that he’s been disowned by one of his daughters, who no longer wants to be related to him “in any way, shape, or form” falls in the category of non-flattering news.

But now it’s been revealed that Musk has more children than originally thought. Insider reports Musk and Shivon Zilis, a top executive at the neurotechnology company Neuralink, which Musk co-founded and serves as chairman, had twins in November. Meanwhile he and his on-again, off-again wife singer Grimes also had a baby via surrogate. The birth of this child was hush-hush, only to be discovered when a reporter from Vanity Fair who was working on a story about Grimes overhead the new addition crying in another room.

With the birth of the twins, Musk now has nine children. He has a penchant for giving them odd names like X-AE A-Xii (how in the heck do you even pronounce that?) and Exa Dark Sideræl (the child who was discovered by that pesky journalist.)

It’s anyone’s guess whether Musk will be able to successfully purchase Twitter but the process is going forward slowly. In June Twitter’s Board of Directors recently recommended that shareholders approve the proposed sale, a regulatory filing reported. Musk continues to push to move forward with the acquisition of the social media giant, but at the same time, he’s also said there are still a number of “unresolved matters” to be worked out for the deal to go through.

And there’s an unpleasant aspect to the idea of Musk taking over Twitter: He’s said he plans to allow former President Donald Trump back on Twitter. That’s right, the man who was purportedly permanently banned from Twitter for his connections to the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol may be allowed to return if Musk sees fit.

Considering all that Trump did to foment the attempted insurrection on January 6, 2021, this is a dangerous idea. This is a man who whipped his supporters into a frenzy with many of his tweets. So no, this is not a good idea. Musk is undoubtedly an intelligent man but apparently, he’s not quite bright enough to see the damage Trump can do.
