A secret history
The love story between Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis was born out of sight. If in 2022, the press revealed that the billionaire had two children with the CEO of his start-up, no one knows when their relationship began. In addition, the son of Maye and Errol Musk was in a relationship with Australian actress and director Natasha Bassett at the time of the revelations. A graduate of Yale, Shivon Zilis began his career at IBM and, three years later, participated in the launch of the Bloomberg Beta investment fund, becoming one of the most influential people in Silicon Valley.
It was in 2016 that she got closer to Elon Musk by integrating OpenAI, a company co-founded by Donald Trump’s new ally and Sam Altman. The billionaire then spotted this artificial intelligence specialist and allowed her to join Tesla, from 2017 to 2019, then Neuralink. Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis now reportedly live in Austin, in a very private property away from prying eyes.
