Help Increase Birth Rate In The US, Elon Musk Returns To Twin Children, This Time From Badminton Zilis, Director In Neuralink

JAKARTA - According to a report by the Insider, Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk and banton Zilis, a top executive at brain chip startup Neuralink, had twins in November 2021.

In April, Musk and Zilis petitioned to change the twins' name to "have their father's last name" and included their mother's last name as part of their middle name, the Insider report wrote on Wednesday, July 6, citing court documents.

Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 7, 2022

A court folder summary of Westlaw's legal research services showed a judge signing "An Order to Change the Name of Several Children" on May 11 after a petition for name change from Musk and Zilis was made on April 25 this year.

On Thursday, July 7, Musk tweeted: "Doing your best to help the population shortage crisis." He did not refer to The Insider's report. "A collapsed birth rate is the biggest danger facing civilization so far," he said.

The twins make Musk's total children now nine. Musk has two children with Canadian singer Grimes, and five other children with former Canadian writer Justine Wilson.

Musk and Grimes welcomed their second child through a replacement mother in December, a month after Musk and Zilis reportedly had twins. The billionaire said he and Grimes were "half apart," according to a report by Page Six in September last year.

The report, without citing sources, said Zilis had been leveled as one of Musk's manageable people by Twitter Inc after a 44 billion-dollar acquisition deal. However Musk and Zilis did not respond to a request for comment from Reuters.

Zilis, 36, was identified on his LinkedIn profile as director of operations and special projects in Neuralink, founded and chaired by Musk, 51. He started working at the company in May 2017, the same month he was appointed director of artificial intelligence project at Tesla, where he worked until 2019.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Zilis also serves as a board member of the Intellectual Research firm OpenAI, co-founded by Musk.
