Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, CEO of Tesla, and co-founder of brain-computer startup Neuralink, has been revealed to have fathered twins with Shivon Zilis, a Neuralink executive who reports directly to him, Business Insider reports.

At most American companies, a sexual relationship between a supervisor and a direct-report employee is grounds for dismissal, even when the relationship is consensual. In February of this year, CNN president Jef Zucker resigned after it was revealed that he had carried out an undisclosed romantic relationship with an employee described as “his key lieutenant.” In 2020, McDonalds fired CEO Steve Easterbrook — and later sued him to try to recoup his exit bonus — after his sexual relationship with an employee was made public. Most companies frown on relationships between supervisors and direct-report employees, because the professional power imbalance can never be completely disentangled from the personal relationship.

Counting the newly-revealed twins, Musk now has nine living children with three different women: five with ex-wife Justine Wilson, two with musician Grimes, and two with Zilis. The Zilis-Musk twins were born just a few weeks before Musk’s second child with Grimes.
