Elon Musksecretly welcomed twins last year.
The papers reveal that in April, Musk and Zilis –– who is the project director at his Neuralink company –– asked a Texan county court to change their babies' names so they would “have their father’s last name and contain their mother’s last name as part of their middle name.”
The twins' sexes were not made public and their names were redacted from the documents.
An Austin judge granted their request in May, perInsider.
A representative for Musk did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. Zilis also did not immediately respond.
