On October 2nd local time, Sven Zeislis, Musk's long-time partner and executive of the brain-computer interface company Neuralink, posted on the X platform stating that their relationship had ended despite them having four children together.
She wrote, “It’s hard to accept that we went from being in love to breaking up in just one week without any warning, but sometimes things are just like that.” She said she will miss Musk very much.
Although feeling disappointed, Zillis still thanked the two for having four children together, and expressed the hope that they could become good friends with Musk in the future, so as to share the responsibility of raising the children.
"I am very sad, but I still care deeply for him, and I will always wish him happiness." she wrote.
Zillis also shared a screenshot of a text message dated September 24th along with the statement. In the screenshot, she said she was happy to have breakfast with Musk and expressed her love for him. Musk replied that he also loved her.
Hirvon Zilis is 40 years old. She met Musk in 2016. Around 2020, Zilis had difficulties conceiving due to health reasons, but she desired to have children. Musk offered to become a sperm donor and participate in in vitro fertilization to help her conceive. Initially, both parties agreed that this matter would be kept strictly confidential.
