Shivon Zilis is an employee of Elon Musk, the richest billionaire in the world today. She is also becoming the center of public attention after giving birth to the billionaire's third child.

According to Bloomberg on June 21, Mr. Elon Musk has a third child with Ms. Shivon Zilis, the female director in charge of special projects at Neuralink, a company co-founded by this billionaire.

On June 23, billionaire Elon Musk confirmed to Page Six that this was not a secret, because "all our friends and family knew."

Before welcoming their third child this year, Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis had twins through in vitro fertilization. Although famous for having 3 children with billionaire Elon Musk, Shivon Zilis is also considered a talented woman with an outstanding career.

Shivon Zilis was born in 1986 in Markham, Ontario (Canada). She has Eurasian blood as her father is Canadian and her mother is Indian. Zilis earned a degree in economics and philosophy from the prestigious Yale University in 2008. As a student, she led an active lifestyle, often participating in rock climbing, surfing and ice hockey. Zliis was famous on the ice hockey team as captain and she set the school record for scoring percentage.

Shivon Zilis is particularly interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). After graduating from college, she began her career in financial technology at IBM in New York. She was one of the members behind the IBM Watson project, a computer system capable of answering questions expressed in natural language. She then joined the venture capital fund Bloomberg Beta and was in charge of the data and machine learning team. Shivon Zilis was honored in Forbes' Under 30 list in the venture capital category in 2015.

In a 2015 interview, USA Today described Shivon Zilis (then 29) as having large eyes, wearing little makeup, and wearing only jeans and a simple T-shirt. Zilis was so professional that she rarely paused to breathe during the conversation and spoke in complete sentences without any embellishment.

Shivon Zilis considers herself an unattractive investor who focuses on dry areas and analyzes everything in terms of arguments, combining it with philosophy to have logical reasoning and a holistic view.

However, Jonah Varon, co-founder of Newsle, a networking platform acquired by LinkedIn, comments that, “Shivon Zilis has a unique combination of IQ and EQ,” and she is not quite the workaholic she describes herself to be.

This can also be considered one of the reasons why billionaire Elon Musk was attracted to this talented girl.

Shivon Zilis first met Elon Musk in 2015 through a non-profit project at OpenAI, a company co-founded by billionaire Elon Musk. She joined OpenAI in 2016 and is the youngest member of the company's board of directors (as of March 2023).

In 2017, Shivon Zilis moved to Tesla as a project manager and AI implementation manager for self-driving cars and chip design. She later became the executive director of special projects at Neuralink, Elon Musk's neurotechnology company. In a speech at a Canadian university in 2021, Shivon Zilis called Neuralink the most complex and fascinating thing she had ever encountered in her life.

In November 2021, Shivon Zilis made a notable post and shared that she had to use a real heart symbol instead of the usual heart icon on her phone. This was the time when she and billionaire Elon Musk welcomed twins.

According to Business Insider, after making the twins public, billionaire Elon Musk mentioned the birth of the two babies on X. He wrote that he was trying his best to help the underpopulation crisis.

"The declining birth rate is the biggest danger civilization has faced to date," Elon Musk wrote on X.

Billionaire Elon Musk revealed the names and genders of his twins when his children were 16 months old. In April 2022, billionaire Elon Musk and Zilis filed a request to change their names to "the father's surname and the mother's middle name". At this time, both confirmed that they were not dating.

Having a third child with Shivon Zilis brings the total number of known children of billionaire Elon Musk to 12. Specifically, Elon Musk's 12 children include 6 children with his first wife Justine Musk, 3 children with his ex-girlfriend, singer Grimes, and 3 children with female director Shivon Zilis.
