Musk has nine living children with three women, one of whom, Shivon Zilis, is an executive at his company Neuralink. Zilis bore his twins in 2021 after Musk wanted to be her sperm donor so that “the kids would be genetically his.” She added that “He really wants smart people to have his kids.” The twins arrived while Grimes and Musk were expecting their second child, and Grimes was reportedly not told that Musk had twins with one of his employees.
Last week in a since-deleted post, Grimes reportedly responded to a post from author Isaacson on X, formerly Twitter, that appeared to confirm she did not know of the twin’s existence and that she was being prevented from seeing one of her kids.
