Elon Musk, a titan in the business world, is not just an angel investor. He also holds the pivotal roles of chairman and CEO at Tesla, Inc., and has made headlines with the acquisition of X (formerly Twitter). His controversial statements and personal life may grab attention, but it's his leadership at these companies that truly defines his current activities.
Elon's personal front has also been a major attraction for all his fans, and people have always been intrigued by the same. Elon reportedly welcomed twins back in 2021 with his company's AI expert, Shivon Zilli. The twins are reportedly among Musk’s nine children. Here's everything you need to know about Shivon and her Indian connection.
Shivon Zillis dominated headlines when, back in 2021, she delivered Elon Musk's twins. Biographer Walter Isaacson shared the pictures; in them, the twins were seated on both their parents' laps. Now, several reports suggest that Elon welcomed another child with Shivon earlier this year. Shivon Zillis has worked with Elon for several years and is the operations director of special projects at one of his companies—Neuralink. This startup makes computer chips designed to be implanted in the human brain.
Shivon's mother is an Indian Punjabi, while her father is a Canadian. She was born in Markham, Ontario, and grew up playing ice hockey. She attended Yale University, where she pursued dual degrees in economics and philosophy from the prestigious Yale University.
Elon Musk recently attended the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology meeting with Rajeev Chandrasekhar. The meeting was held in Britain at the global AI Summit. In the meeting, Elon Musk revealed that he named his son after the Indian Nobel laureate, Professor S. Chandrasekhar, a renowned astrophysicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983. Elon Musk further divulged that his son’s middle name is Chandrasekhar.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar took to his X account and informed everyone about the same. Soon after his post, Elon Musk’s current partner and the mother of his son, Shivon Zillis, added that their son’s nickname is Sekhar. She further added:
“Yes, that’s true. We call him Sekhar for short, but the name was chosen in honour of our children’s heritage and the amazing Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.”
Elon Musk has yet to officially announce his relationship with Zillis, and he has not even officially talked about his kids in public.
