The billionaire has just expanded his family with a thirty -thick recognized child. After X æ A-12, Techno Mechanicus and Arcadia, this newborn baby has also inherited an extraordinary first name. To decipher these amazing choices and what they say about Elon Musk, psychologist Marjorie Camus Charron gives us her analysis.
Elon Musk and his partner Shivon Zilis welcomed their fourth child together, bringing thirteen the total number of official businessman descendants. This Friday, February 28, 2025, Shivon Zilis announced the happy news on his X account (formerly Twitter) without specifying when he was born: “We discussed with Elon and, in the light of Arcadia’s birthday (the third child they had together, editor’s note), We thought it was better to speak directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a fatal force, with a solid gold in gold. We love it so much “. A choice that is in line with the names to say the least, unusual that the boss of Tesla gave her other children.
Indeed, when he was still with the Canadian singer Grimes, the couple had opted for a very atypical name for their third child: Techno mechanicus. This is what a biography of Tesla’s boss, Space X and Twitter revealed, written by journalist Walter Isaason. His brother born in 2020 is named X æ A-12and her big sister, born in 2021: Exam dark sideræl. The American entrepreneur is also the father of Nevada Alexander (unfortunately died 10 weeks after his birth of the sudden death syndrome of the infant), and the twins Griffin and Vivian, born of his union with the novelist Justine Wilson. Elon Musk is also the father of triplets, designed by in vitro fertilization, and named Kai, Saxon and Damian.
But then, how to explain these first names? In the United States, there is first of all A “cultural tradition of the first name”. It is not uncommon to see children named in the same way as their parent, “With the attached junior first name”says Marjorie Camus Charron, psychologist specializing in neuropsychology. Let us recall that in France, the names too original and which do not take into account the interest of the child are refused in the civil status. A border that exists much less in American culture. “They are still in something very permissive and absolute freedom“, Analysis the specialist.
In Elon Musk, which is also reached by Asperger’s syndrome (a neurodevelopmental disorder), “He has no anchoring in the real which allows him to see that these are complicated, even improntable names, which we cannot even remember“, estimates the specialist. She specifies that the boss of Tesla undoubtedly has a particular functioning, but that all atypical people do not naturally give strange names, detrimental for the child. Nevertheless, “There is something megalomaniac and a little selfish“Underlines the psychologist.
