Elon Musk has been under the spotlight even more than usual after a report came out, and now, everyone wants to know the details about some of his elusive baby mamas. In the bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal that featured the amount he allegedly paid one of his baby mamas to stay quiet, there was something else. He has quite a few baby mamas, and it was alleged that he may have even more that we don’t know about.
But his favorite? His favorite baby mama is allegedly Shivon Zilis.

According to the report, she is the “most prominent of Musk’s mothers” and is a “steadying force,” as well as having “special status.”
“Two people close to Musk described her as having ‘special status,’” the report said. “Meaning Musk chooses to spend time at her home in Austin as well as bringing her to high-profile public events.”
Now, what is the reason she has “special status”? Well, having four kids helps, but it’s allegedly because she lives on the compound in Austin that Musk wants all of his kids to live in.
Per Realtor, he allegedly purchased a $35 million three-house compound in Oct 2024, which he’s denied time and time again. (But multiple reports claim it’s true!)
