Ladies, Lock Up Your DMs: Elon Musk Is Back on the Market
Earlier this year, while under oath, Elon Musk referred to Shivon Zilis—a venture capitalist who, at the time, was his live-in girlfriend and mother to four of his children—as his “chief of staff” and “close advisor” rather than, you know, something like a loving partner. The two seem to have met when Zilis joined OpenAI in 2016, and she eventually jumped ship to serve as director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, another Musk-owned company. She didn’t announce a departure from that role, so it seems she’ll continue to serve as a Musk employee.
