Elon Musk Welcomes Daughter Azure on Livestream Event Days After Announcing Breakup with Her Mother
The four-year-old made a surprise appearance during an event promoting Musk's companies, a week after his split from Shivon Zilis.
Elon Musk was joined by his four-year-old daughter, Azure, during a livestream event promoting his companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. The appearance occurred just a week after Musk and Azure's mother, Shivon Zilis, announced their breakup.
During the X Takeover event held at Tesla's global headquarters in Austin, Texas, Musk was interrupted by Azure while discussing the Tesla Roadster. He turned to her off-camera, initially indicating he needed to sign off, before she appeared on screen. The crowd responded with cheers and laughter as Musk introduced her to the audience as "supporters of Tesla."
The event focused on AI, energy, and robotics and featured speakers such as Nicki Minaj and Musk's mother, Maye Musk.
Zilis, a tech executive, and Musk announced their breakup last week. Zilis shared an emotional message on social media stating, "It's hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that's how it is sometimes."
Azure and her twin brother, Strider, were born in November 2021. They are among Musk's 14 known children with four different women. His other children include.
- Six children with Justine Wilson: Nevada Alexander (deceased), twins Griffin and Vivian Jenna, and triplets Kai, Saxon, and Damian.
- Three children with singer Grimes (Claire Boucher): X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus. The custody of these children was a subject of legal battles between 2023 and 2024.
- Two children with Shivon Zilis: twins Strider and Azure, followed by Arcadia and Seldon Lycurgus.
- One child with MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair: Romulus. An ongoing custody battle for Romulus began in February 2025.
Custody disputes have been prominent in Musk's relationships. A legal battle with Grimes concluded in August 2024, with the terms kept confidential, though a deleted social media post suggested a shared custody arrangement. Ashley St. Clair initiated a custody battle for their son Romulus in February 2025. She publicly stated she declined a $40 million non-disclosure agreement for a documentary about Musk, emphasizing her children's dignity. Musk denied offering the sum but acknowledged providing financial support. He has since countersued for full custody of Romulus, citing St. Clair's public support for the trans community and her statements regarding their son.
