In a heartbreaking and unexpected announcement, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk revealed the devastating news that his 14th child, Seldon Lycurgus Musk—his second with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis—has tragically passed away.
The infant, who had only recently been introduced to the world, captured hearts globally with his powerful, futuristic name and the love poured out by his family. But behind the public joy, a private struggle was quietly unfolding. According to close sources, the baby reportedly faced unforeseen medical complications shortly after birth.
Elon Musk, known for his stoic public persona, appeared visibly shaken as he shared the loss. “He was only with us for a brief moment, but he changed our lives forever,” Musk said in an emotional post. “There are no words for this kind of pain.”
Fans and celebrities around the world are flooding social media with condolences and tributes, mourning the sudden loss of a life that had barely begun. Shivon Zilis has yet to make a public statement, but a close friend described her as “utterly heartbroken.”
The Musk family is requesting privacy during this unimaginably difficult time.
While details remain limited, the tragedy has cast a somber shadow over what was once a celebration of new life. The world watches with compassion as one of the most high-profile families on Earth grieves a loss that proves—no matter how powerful or rich—some pain is simply human.
