Shivon Zilis said on X on 2 October that her romantic relationship with Elon Musk had ended 'with no warning.' Eight days earlier, a screenshot she shared appeared to show Musk replying, 'Love you too', during an affectionate text exchange.
Zilis, Neuralink's director of operations and special projects, said she was 'hurting' but hoped she and Musk could remain friends and co-parents. As of 3 October, Musk had not publicly addressed the breakup.
