Elon Musk gets snapped for the 1st time with twins Strider & Azure, pics go viral on X
Musk was seen for the first time with his twins Strider and Azure, along with their mother, venture capitalist Shivon Zhilis.
The picture was shared by Musk’s biographer Walter Isaacson, on his X handle. In the picture, the 52-year-old business tycoon could be seen sitting cross-legged on a couch with one of the twins on his lap, while the other is being held by Zhilis. Another picture shows one of the twins hovering near a robot.
Dropping the pictures, the veteran journalist wrote, “Ever since imbibing Isaac Asimov's stories as a kid, Musk has worried that our robots could turn on us. This Time excerpt explains why and what he’s doing about it.”
“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,” he tweeted.
The photo was taken at Zilis’s home in Austin, Texas.
The twins were born in November 2021, weeks before Musk and Canadian songstress Grimes welcomed their second child via surrogacy.
