Elon Musk Confirms 12th Child with Neuralink Executive Shivon Zilis
(CTN News) – Elon Musk and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis welcomed their third kid earlier this year, marking Musk’s 12th child.
The 52-year-old business magnate told Page Six that his new addition was not a “secret,” but publishing a statement would have been “bizarre.”
“As for’secretly fathered,’ that is also false,” he told the publication. “We have informed all of our friends and family. Failure to publish a press statement, which would be strange, does not imply’secret.'”
Elon Musk’s 12th child, whose gender and name are unknown, was born earlier this year, according to reports. Musk previously had two children with 38-year-old Zilis, the executive of Neuralink, his brain-computer interface firm.
Elon Musk’s 12th child was revealed in a Bloomberg article on Friday, which also discussed his views on birth rates.
In July 2022, Musk and Zilis welcomed two children. Court filings obtained by Insider show Musk and Zilis’ children were born in November 2021, weeks before Musk and Grimes had their second child.
The twins’ names were disclosed nearly two years after birth: Strider and Azure.
In his biography of Elon Musk, Walter Isaacson reported in September 2023 that Musk and musician Grimes had a third child, Techno Mechanius, also known as Tau.
Grimes and Elon Musk welcomed their first child, a son named X Æ A-Xii (or X), in 2020. In March 2022, they announced the birth of a girl, Exa Dark Siderael Musk, nicknamed Y, born in December 2021.
Elon Musk has been married twice previously. He met his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson, while they were students at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada. Musk and Wilson married in 2000, and two years later, they welcomed their first child, Nevada Alexander Musk.
Tragically, their first child died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome when he was 10 weeks old.
In 2018, Musk sent an email to a father who had lost his son in a Tesla crash, saying, “There is nothing worse than losing a child.”
“My first child died in my arms. “I felt his last heartbeat,” he wrote on X in 2022.
In 2004, Wilson and Musk welcomed twins Griffin and Vivian, followed by triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian Musk in 2006.
In June 2023, it was reported that Musk and Wilson’s teenage daughter had been given the requested name and gender change. In an April court filing with Los Angeles County Superior Court, their daughter, who identifies as transgender, asked to change her name and cease her relationship with Musk.
“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape, or form,” the document filed in Santa Monica stated.
Wilson claimed she was “proud” of her daughter Vivian Jenna Wilson’s choice to terminate ties with Musk.
Musk, a father of 12 children, has expressed concern that dropping fertility rates could lead to civilization’s demise.
In 2022, the billionaire tweeted that population collapse from low birth rates poses a greater threat to civilization than global warming.
Following the announcement that he and Shivon Zilis had twins, he expressed concern about dwindling birth rates.
“I’m doing my utmost to address the underpopulation situation. “A collapsing birth rate is the biggest threat civilization faces by far,” he tweeted, mocking the claims. “I hope you have big families and congrats to those who already do!”
NBC is bringing a version of legendary sportscaster Al Michaels back to the Olympics this summer, but with an unexpected twist: his voice will be powered by artificial intelligence.
On Wednesday, NBC said that it will utilize AI software to reproduce Michaels’ voice to offer daily Summer Games summaries to users of its Peacock streaming platform. This marks a significant milestone in the application of AI by a major media firm.

NBC To Use AI Version Of Announcer Al Michaels’ Voice For Olympics Recaps
The employment of an artificial intelligence voice for the Olympics comes at a time when technology has advanced dramatically, particularly in its ability to generate images, sounds, and text. This has sparked concerns in creative industries, such as journalism, regarding how artificial intelligence may—or should—be utilized.
A new tool, “Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock,” will allow subscribers to create 10-minute highlights packages incorporating event updates, athlete back stories, and other related content based on their preferences.
The company stated that the highlights could be packaged in approximately 7 million distinct ways, based on 5,000 hours of live coverage in Paris, thereby making AI (artificial intelligence, not the guy) a far more efficient way to give individualized summaries.
“When I was approached about this, I was skeptical but obviously curious,” Michaels stated in a press statement. “Then I saw a demonstration of what they had in mind. I replied, ‘I’m in.'”
An NBC representative told CNN that Michaels is being rewarded for his participation.
A veteran broadcaster, Michaels is now the play-by-play sportscaster for Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime. He is well noted for his work on earlier Olympic Games broadcasts for NBC and ABC and for announcing the Miracle on Ice Game at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.

NBC stated that the AI system was trained using previous NBC broadcast audio from Michaels.
The business stated that a team of NBC Sports editors will evaluate all of the content, including audio and footage, to ensure that it is factually correct and that names are pronounced correctly.
Beginning July 27, the highlights tool will be available on Peacock in web browsers and iOS and iPad apps.

“I don’t remember anything,” he claimed in a video shot on June 29 in Phoenix.
Foxx went on to say in the video that he was told his sister and daughter took him to the doctor, who him a cortisone shot. Another doctor told him something was “going on up there,” as Foxx pointed to his head.
“I won’t say it on camera,” he remarked throughout the video.
The singer is known to be discreet about his personal life, and he disappeared from the spotlight at the time due to what his daughter Corinne Foxx described as a “medical complication” on social media.
In July 2023, the “Ray” star revealed that he chose not to reveal more information because he did not want the public “to see me like that.”
“I want you to see me laughing, having fun, partying, cracking jokes, or performing in a movie or television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes coming out of me and wondering if I was going to make it,” he said in a video posted on Instagram at the time, adding that he felt like he had gone “to hell and back.”
Foxx provided another health update on his verified social media accounts in August 2023.

NEW YORK — Hunter Biden filed a complaint accusing Fox News of illegally distributing sexual photographs of him as part of a streaming series.
The president’s son filed the complaint on Sunday in state court in Manhattan over photos from “The Trial of Hunter Biden,” which will premiere on Fox Nation in 2022. According to the lawsuit, the series included a “mock trial” of Hunter Biden on crimes he has not faced, as well as photos of Biden naked and engaging in sex acts.

Hunter Biden Sues Fox News Over Explicit Images Featured In A Streaming Series
The lawsuit argues that the distribution of intimate photographs without his consent violated New York’s so-called revenge porn legislation.
“Fox published and disseminated these Intimate Images to its vast audience of millions as part of an entertainment program in order to humiliate, harass, annoy and alarm Mr. Biden and to tarnish his reputation,” the lawsuit states.
In an emailed statement, a Fox News representative termed it an “entirely politically motivated lawsuit” that was “devoid of merit.” According to the statement, Biden’s attorneys filed a letter demanding its removal from streaming sites in April 2024.
“The program was removed within days of the letter, out of prudence, because Hunter Biden is a public figure who has been investigated several times and is now a convicted felon. According to the emailed statement, Fox News has faithfully covered Mr. Biden’s newsworthy events by the First Amendment, and we look forward to defending our rights in court.
Hunter Biden was convicted last month of three felony charges stemming from the purchase of a revolver in 2018. Prosecutors claimed the president’s son lied on a mandated gun-buy form by claiming he was not unlawfully using or addicted to narcotics.
