The Two Newest Additions: Romulus and Seldon Lycurgus
The most recent period has seen a flurry of announcements, adding two more sons to the Musk family: Romulus and Seldon Lycurgus. The news, largely revealed in the first quarter of 2025, highlights Musk's complex and unconventional approach to family building.
Romulus Musk: The Son with Ashley St. Clair
The birth of Romulus Musk was one of the most unexpected revelations of 2025. Conservative influencer and author Ashley St. Clair announced in February 2025 that she had welcomed a son with the tech mogul five months prior, placing the birth in September 2024.
St. Clair, a prominent figure in right-wing commentary, stated that she had kept the birth private for safety reasons before the public announcement. The relationship reportedly began after Musk "slid into her DMs" following social media interactions. The child, named Romulus, carries a name with deep historical significance, referencing the legendary founder of Rome, a naming convention that fits the pattern of his siblings' unique monikers.
This child is reported as Musk's 14th, though some earlier reports labeled him as the 13th due to the fluid nature of the announcements. The revelation of Romulus adds a fourth mother to the Musk family roster, underscoring the billionaire's commitment to his personal philosophy on population growth.
Seldon Lycurgus Musk: The Fourth Child with Shivon Zilis
Simultaneously with the news of Romulus, Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis confirmed the birth of her fourth child with Musk, a son named Seldon Lycurgus Musk. Zilis, who is the Director of Operations and Special Projects at Neuralink, is also the mother of twins Azure and Strider (born 2021) and a daughter named Arcadia (born February 2024).
The announcement of Seldon Lycurgus, also made in early 2025, further cements the close professional and personal bond between Musk and Zilis, who are both dedicated to the future of technology and human augmentation. The name Seldon Lycurgus is another highly intellectual choice, fitting the trend of names like Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus. Seldon likely references Hari Seldon, a fictional character from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series, a known favorite of Musk's. Lycurgus is the legendary lawgiver of Sparta, again tying into themes of civilization and societal structure.
The Philosophy Behind the Prolific Family: Population Collapse and Legacy
Musk’s expanding family is not simply a matter of personal choice; it is deeply intertwined with his public advocacy on global issues. The billionaire has repeatedly warned about the dangers of "population collapse" and underpopulation, calling it one of the biggest threats to human civilization. His personal actions are often cited as a direct effort to lead by example.
His children, whom he has affectionately called his "Musk-eteers," are being raised in an environment surrounded by high-level science and technology. The unique and often highly publicized names—from the algorithmic X Æ A-12 to the philosophical Seldon Lycurgus—reflect a desire to create a legacy that is both futuristic and rooted in deep historical and scientific concepts. Entities like SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink are not just businesses; they are the intellectual backdrop of the Musk family, shaping the lives and public perception of his children.
The children's mothers—Justine Wilson (a novelist), Grimes (an avant-garde musician), Shivon Zilis (a leading AI executive), and Ashley St. Clair (a political commentator)—represent a diverse collection of intellectual and creative fields, ensuring the Musk legacy is multifaceted. The family structure, though unconventional, is a powerful statement about Musk's commitment to his vision of a thriving human future. As the family continues to grow, it will undoubtedly remain a focal point of public fascination and a testament to the billionaire's desire to leave a lasting, and very numerous, mark on the world.
