Court documents obtained by: Insider reveal that Musk and Zilis welcomed the twins last November.
The two filed a petition on April 25 to have the twins’ names changed.
Musk and Zilis want to “have their father’s last name and their mother’s last name as part of their middle name,” court documents say.
A Texas judge approved the injunction in May, Insider reports.
Zilis, 36, is the youngest person on OpenAI’s board of directors.
The Canadian native joined Tesla in 2017 before moving to Neuralink.
She is currently director of operations and special projects at Neuralink.
It is rumored that Zilis could be chosen by Musk to help run Twitter if his deal to buy the company goes through.
Musk now has nine children, including two twins and triplets.
He has five children from his relationship with Justine Wilson, which ended in divorce in 2008.
Sadly, Musk’s first child with Wilson, Nevada Alexander Musk, died of SIDS 10 weeks after he was born in 2002.
Musk shares two children with his former partner, Claire Boucher, aka the singer Grimes.
He has previously expressed his wish to have more children to maintain civilization.
He said: “There are not enough people, I cannot emphasize this enough. There are not enough people.
“If people don’t have more children, civilization will crumble. Mark my words.”
In 2021, in response to a tweet praising his large family, Musk wrote: “I’m trying to lead by example!”
“The population collapse is a much bigger problem than people realize and that’s only for Earth. Mars has a great need for people as the population is currently zero.”
The Sun contacted Neuralink for comment.
