Elon Musk confirmed reports that he welcomed his 3rd child with an executive at his brain implant factory.
Musk, who already had twins with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, confirmed they welcomed a third child earlier this year.
In addition to his 3 children with Zilis, Musk has 5 children with his first wife, three kids with musician Grimes, and 1 child who died of sudden infant death syndrome in 2002.
Musk, 52, told Page Six his newest addition was not by any means a “secret,” but he hesitated to announce the birth because it would have just been a bit “bizarre.”
Musk said the child was not a “secret” as the tabloids breathlessly reported.

“All our friends and family know. Failure to issue a press release, which would be bizarre, does not mean ‘secret,'” he said.
Bloomberg first reported the news of his 12th child in an article published on Friday.
Musk and Nick Cannon are doing their part to sustain the planet’s population. Cannon has also fathered 12 children by multiple women.
Musk tweets often about the risk of “population collapse due to low birth rates.”
He says “low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming.”
