Elon Musk was photographed for the first time with his twins alongside their mother Shivon Zilis, who also works for the mogul at his brain chip company Neuralink.
The image shows Musk sitting cross-legged on a couch with one of the twins, who was 16 months old at the time, on his lap.
The other infant is being held by the 37-year-old Zilis, who is sitting next to Musk, according to Insider.
The photo, taken at Zilis’ home in Austin, Texas, was released by veteran journalist Walter Isaacson, the author of an upcoming biography about Musk.
Isaacson, who has reportedly shadowed Musk for three years for the book, posted the photo on his X account on Wednesday.
Another image posted by Isaacson shows one of the twins standing next to a robot with Musk hovering over the baby.
Isaacson, whose book goes on sale Sept. 12, said Musk wanted to meet him at Zilis’ home last March for a chat that “can only be done in person.”

“He said we should leave our phones in the house while we sat outside, because, he said, someone could use them to monitor our conversation. But he later agreed that I could use what he said about AI in my book,” Isaacson wrote in an excerpt from his biography posted in Time magazine.
“For a moment I was struck by the oddness of the scene,” Isaacson wrote. “We were sitting on a suburban patio by a tranquil backyard swimming pool on a sunny spring day, with two bright-eyed twins learning to toddle, as Musk somberly speculated about the window of opportunity for building a sustainable human colony on Mars before an AI apocalypse destroyed earthly civilization.”
Ever since imbibing Isaac Asimov stories as a kid, Musk has worried that our robots could turn on us. This Time excerpt of https://t.co/7JGHd10lOC explains why and what he’s doing about it. https://t.co/EiXqmMi3E6 pic.twitter.com/loKKgwYoIx
