Shivon Zilis, the Neuralink executive who is the mother of four of Elon Musk’s children, went public Friday with a relationship update. And she did it on X after he unfollowed her on the social platform he owns.
A post shared from Zilis’ X account said she had gone “from in love to let go in a week with no warning.”
“I’ve loved him more than life itself and he’s taught me 100 lifetimes of knowledge and made my cup overflow with life meaning, so there is a lot of loss, but luckily we created four beautiful little loves of my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am so beyond grateful for our children and they make every single day the best day of my life! I do hope and pray he and I can be great friends and coparents,” the post said.
“I’m hurting, but care deeply about E and will always be cheering for his happiness,” she added.
The post included a screenshot purporting to show Musk texting Zilis on September 24 about a dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In the exchange, Musk said he would have invited Zilis if he had known he could bring a “significant other” as a plus-one. It also reshared a post about Musk unfollowing Zilis on X.
Zilis, Neuralink, and Musk did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Zilis’s post is an unusually intimate dispatch from one of the more private people in Musk’s orbit. Zilis has been working at Musk’s neurotechnology company, Neuralink, as a director of operations and special projects.
In 2022, Business Insider reported that Zilis had not disclosed to OpenAI that she had twins with Musk while she was on the AI lab’s board. BI’s reporting was featured during Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI in May.
Zilis took the stand during the trial in that case and testified about her relationship with Musk, saying they have been “romantically involved.”

“We do live together when traveling, and we’ve been spending family time in Austin,” said Zilis of Musk, adding that he is “in part” supporting the children.
The post on Zilis’ account drew comments praising her for her gracious comments about Musk and others criticizing her for including a screenshot of a private text exchange.
Another Silicon Valley exec chimed in with his two cents: Alexandr Wang, the head of Meta’s AI efforts, who drew headlines when Musk unfollowed him.
