Elon Musk celebrated his 55th trip around the sun on Sunday in what was perhaps the most on brand birthday celebration ever.<\/p>\n

The billionaire marked the occasion with his mother, Maye Musk, and Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis, who is the mother to four of his children.<\/p>\n

The celebration featured not one but two themed cakes: a SpaceX Starship rocket, complete with candles attached to the base to mimic engine ignition, and a miniature Moon base dotted with Lego astronauts standing in for the real humans Musk has long promised to send there.<\/p>\n

Maye Musk led the birthday tributes on X:<\/p>\n

Happy birthday to my wonderful son. @elonmusk has given me 55 years of joy.
It\u2019s so much fun to celebrate with family and friends.

Some X users quickly suggested that part of Maye Musk’s photo of her son may be AI-generated, with the birthday banner and balloons appearing to have many of the hallmarks of an AI image.<\/p>\n

Zilis also shared photos of Musk’s celebrations, showing him looking at his birthday cake and posing with a large sword. No explanation accompanied the images. None, apparently, was required.<\/p>\n

Happy birthday, rocket man \u2665\ufe0f\u2728 pic.twitter.com\/FJ3aJA1JiB<\/p>\n

\u2014 Shivon Zilis (@shivon) June 28, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Zilis, who has become an increasingly visible presence alongside Musk in recent years, is an executive at Neuralink, the brain-computer interface company Musk co-founded.<\/p>\n

The exact nature of their relationship is complex, though Zillis said during testimony at Musk’s high-profile trial against Sam Altman in May that she and Musk are “romantically involved.” The pair attended White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino’s wedding at Mar-a-Lago together in February.<\/p>\n

Musk’s 55th birthday comes during another dramatic chapter in his career. Earlier this month, SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO briefly pushed his net worth above the trillion-dollar mark, making him the first person ever to reach the milestone. A broader tech sell-off soon dragged his fortune back below the 13-figure mark, though he remains comfortably the world’s richest person.<\/p>\n

Scores of X users wished Musk a happy birthday, including investor Cathie Wood, and Blake Scholl, the CEO of Boom Supersonic, who told him to make a “good wish.”<\/p>\n
