According to Page Six, the Tesla billionaire confirmed that he had fathered twins with Shivon Zillis, an executive he works with. When the outlet reached out to congratulate Musk, they report he replied, "thanks," adding, "Bravo to big families."

View StoryThe twins push Musk's total number of children to ten, which actually puts him ahead of Cannon by three -- at least until Cannon's eighth is born later this year. Cannon has also hinted there may be more coming for him sooner than later.
Musk first appeared to respond to reports that he was the father of Zilis' twins, born in November 2021, with a tweet on July 7 where he wrote, "Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far."
Cannon jumped on the thread to comment, "Right there with you my Brother!"

Musk's message to Page Six is similar to what Cannon has shared about his growing brood of children. When asked how many children he wanted to have, Musk said, "As many as I am able to spend time with and be a good father."
Cannon has also spoken about his determination to be as present as he can in the lives of his children, especially lamenting that he felt he wasn't there as much as he would have liked for Zen before his passing.
