Summary
Elon Musk has certainly been busy. Yesterday, the Tesla CEO confirmed he secretly fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, an employee for his company Neuralink. And this makes baby number ten for Elon. But the timing of his twins’ arrival is what's raising a lot of eyebrows. They were born just weeks before the birth of the baby girl he had with his ex, music artist Grimes. Elon doesn't seem bothered, though. He claims he's trying to help the underpopulation problem. Does this mean he's not stopping at ten?
