Shivon Zilis: The Beginning
Shivon Zilis, a director at Neuralink, became professionally connected to Elon Musk through her work advancing neural technology. Over time, their collaboration grew closer, eventually leading to a personal relationship.
In November 2021, Zilis gave birth to twins Strider and Azure, conceived via in vitro fertilization. Their births were kept private until July 2022, when court documents revealed Musk’s connection to the children. Zilis, known for her AI and machine learning expertise, became one of Musk’s closest collaborators.
