"Zilis, who testified under oath that she is the mother of four of Musk's children, was... what's the best way to characterize this? A Musk advisor? She denies she was a "chief of staff" but says she worked for Musk's "entire AI portfolio: Tesla, Neuralink, and OpenAI" starting in 2017."
"Her first two children by Musk - twins - were born in 2021, while Zilis was serving on OpenAI's board. She kept this a secret. She did not tell the board who the father was until Business Insider reported on court documents that listed Musk as the father."
""My first call was to my dad," said Zilis, who testified that even her own family didn't know the children's paternity. "The call right after that was to Sam Altman." Greg Brockman, OpenAI's president, had testified he found out about Zillis' children from news reports."
Shivon Zilis testified under oath in the Musk v. Altman trial, revealing she is the mother of four of Elon Musk's children. She worked as an advisor to Musk starting in 2017, overseeing his entire AI portfolio including Tesla, Neuralink, and OpenAI, working 80 to 100 hours weekly. Zilis and Musk met through OpenAI and had a romantic relationship before becoming colleagues. Her twins were born in 2021 while she served on OpenAI's board, a fact she kept secret from the board and even her own family. The paternity only became public when Business Insider reported court documents. OpenAI president Greg Brockman learned about her children through news reports rather than from Zilis directly.
