Elon Musk, Shivon Zilis had twins, both at Tesla and Grimes

Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis, a top executive at Neuralink, had twins in November of 2021, Business Insider reported on Wednesday.

In April, Musk and Zilis filed a petition to change the name of the twins to have their father's last name and contain their mother's last name as part of their middle name, according to the report.

A month later, a Texas judge approved the petition, according to the report.

A judge signed an Order Changing the Names of Multiple Children on May 11 after a name change petition by Musk and Zilis was made on April 25th this year.

The report said that Zillis has recently been floated as one of the people Musk could tap into to run Twitter Inc, after his $44 billion deal acquisition.

Zilis, 36, is identified on her LinkedIn profile as a director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, co-founded and chaired by Musk, 51. In May 2017, she started working at the company, the same month she was named project director in artificial intelligence at Tesla, where she worked until 2019.

She is also a board member at the artificial intelligence research firm OpenAI, which was co-founded by Musk, according to her profile on LinkedIn.

The twins arrival brings the total count of children to nine. Musk shares two children with Canadian singer Grimes and other five children with his ex-wife Canadian author Justine Wilson.

Musk and Grimes welcomed their second child via surrogate in December. According to a report by Page Six in September last year, he and Grimes were semi-separated.

Musk and Zilis didn't respond immediately to Reuters' request for comment.
