Elon Musk had twins with his employee through in vitro fertilization but they were not in a relationship

With just over a month to go Twitter and Elon Musk faces have to be seen in front of Judge Kathaleen McCormick, in a trial that will last for five days in October, the tycoon continues to make people talk.

The secrets kept by the richest man in the world and owner of the automaker Teslathe space company SpaceX and neurotechnology neurolink, they keep coming to light no matter how hard I try to hide them in the shadows.

This is how an investigation revealed that the twins she had last november with one of its main executives, Shiv Ziliswere conceived through the in vitro fertilization (IVF)according to a published report.

Neuralink’s 36-year-old director of operations and special projects told her colleagues that she and her 51-year-old billionaire boss they never had a sexual relationship or a romantic relationship in any wayaccording to Reuters.

Neuralink prohibits employees from having personal relationships with anyone in a more senior position due to potential conflicts of interest.

The company requires that employees involved in any type of relationship that may create a conflict of interest disclose it to the “people operations manager” so you can decide what steps to take to mitigate potential problems.

Thus, Reuters reported that company management accepted Zilis’s explanation that his arrangement with Musk was not romantic in nature. Therefore, after the billionaire confirmed that he is the father of the twins, the artificial intelligence expert was able to continue her role as director of operations and special projects.

Musk recently sent Zilis to meet with Thomas OxleyCEO of Neuralink competitor, synchroto invest in that company.

Elon Musk: children and ethical limits

As revealed by Business Insider (BI)Twins were born weeks before Musk and singer Grimes had their second child via surrogacy in December. The girl, named Exa Dark Sideræl, was not going to be introduced in society, but crying at the wrong time during an interview made it inevitable that Grimes would admit to having one more daughter with Musk. Today, the couple is separated.

The children became sons eight and nine of Musk, although the billionaire never publicly announced his birth or presented them in societyas he did with X Æ A-12, born in 2019, product of his relationship with the singer Grimes, and his five children with Justin Wilson.

In April, Zilis and Musk petitioned a Texas court to allow children to “have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name” (Claire Boucher is her real name.) The request was approved by a judge in May.

Corporate governance experts interviewed by Reuters were divided on whether Musk violated ethical boundaries by having children with Zilis.

Neuralink’s own employee handbook prohibits “personal relationships” and “close personal friendships” between employees and their managers to whom they report.

But the arrangement between Musk and Zilis is unusual, experts argued: “Whoever the lawyer wrote this language (in the company’s code of conduct) did not contemplate this situation,” said Nell Minow, vice president of the government consultancy. corporate ValueEdge Advisors.

Minow stated that this case sought “fall into oblivion” of the spirit of politicswhich aims to avoid conflicts of interest.
