It is no secret that Elon Musk has a unique approach to his personal life. According to a recent report by The Wall Street Journal, Musk appears to favor one mother among the many with whom he has fathered children. Shivon Zilis, who shares four children with Musk, reportedly holds a ‘special status’ in his life.
Zilis is described as a ‘steadying force’ for Musk and is often seen accompanying him at high-profile events. For instance, she attended a black-tie pre-inauguration dinner in January, where she mingled with influential figures such as Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Additionally, she was present when Musk met with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Musk’s ‘fixer,’ Jared Birchall, plays a significant role in managing the relationships between Musk and the mothers of his children. Birchall handles financial and privacy agreements for these women, ensuring Musk’s preferences are met. Musk reportedly desires all the mothers of his children to reside on a compound in Austin, Texas, which technically belongs to him.
Ashley St. Clair, another mother of Musk’s child, has been involved in a legal battle with the billionaire over paternity issues. St. Clair claims Musk attempted to silence her with a nondisclosure agreement in exchange for financial support. When she refused to sign, Musk reportedly withdrew his offer and publicly questioned the paternity of her child, Romulus.
Grimes, Musk’s partner and mother of three of his children, has also expressed dissatisfaction with the arrangement, claiming Musk’s vast resources gave him an unfair advantage during custody battles.
