Elon Musk has four children with his partner Shivon Zilis - AFP via Getty ImagesElon Musk has said he can't be racist because his partner is half Indian and one of his sons is named after an Indian scientist. Mr Musk has four children with Shivon Zilis, a Canadian tech executive whose mother was born in India. "My partner is ... half Indian, and I have four children with her. So I would say I'm not racist," Mr Musk said. I'm against rape and murder, I'm against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we've come to accept in the West."
