Elon Musk, the South African-born wealth hoarder who has been inexplicably placed in charge of the United States of America, is apparently coming for Nick Cannon. No, the X (formerly Twitter) owner isn’t taking over as host of The Masked Singer—though, folks, it’s 2025 so I certainly wouldn’t rule that out! But the extremely problematic amateur government critic appears to have publicly acknowledged his 14th child today, placing him at least two babies ahead of Cannon, who is famously father to a dozen kids.

News of Elon Musk’s latest baby comes to us via X, of course. Shivon Zilis, who has worked as an executive at Musk companies Space X and Neuralink, welcomed Musk-fathered twins in 2022, and then gave birth to a third kid with him in 2024. On Friday, Zilis announced the birth of a fourth child, named Seldon Lycurgus, on Musk’s platform, to which the magnate responded with a heart emoji.

“Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much,” Zilis wrote, also revealing the name of the couple’s previously-born child in the announcement.

Zilis, who is 39, also accompanied Musk at President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, the New York Post reports. According to the outlet, at least two of their children were born using IVF, a fertility procedure many Republican leaders are seeking to ban.

That announcement appears to bring Musk’s tally of children up to 14, if conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair’s recent claims that her five-month-old child is also a Musk heir are proven correct. Meanwhile, Cannon appears to have stopped at 12, saying in January, “It’s so funny, everybody’s always trying to get me to have more kids. It’s like, 12 ain’t enough?”

Cannon—who reportedly pays millions a year in child support to the mothers of his children—appears to be fairly active in his children’s lives, telling People that his off hours are spent as a spectator at various “sports and outdoor activities.”

“As a dad, that’s the kind of stuff you structure your schedule around, all of your kids’ extracurricular activities,” Cannon says.

Musk’s role with his kids seems less clear. Musk is reportedly fully estranged from daughter Vivian Wilson, who legally changed her name to distance herself from her dad in 2022. According to legal claims filed by St. Clair, he has never “asked for photos of their child or even checked in on his son’s wellbeing.” And according to musician Grimes, who has three children with Musk, the father of 14 “won’t respond to texts, call or emails and has skipped every meeting,” allegedly ignoring messages about one of their kids’s medical issues until she publicly posted them to X.

Meanwhile, writes Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist James E. Causey, only one of these men is regularly drubbed as a “deadbeat dad.” “If the criticism aimed at Cannon is valid, then the same scrutiny should be directed at a 53-year-old man who has 12, maybe 13, children, with four different women, right?” asks Causey, whose piece was published on Thursday, before news of Musk child number 14 broke. Hmm, I wonder why that might be!
