I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
🚨NEW: Elon Musk makes a heart hand gesture to thank an audience member who said he and his wife pray for him at night.
"Awww. 🫶 I have to watch my hand gestures these days, but I think this one is safe. I can't wave to the crowd. There'll be no one laughing." 💀
Later, Musk addressed the attacks on Tesla vehicles with an astute observation.
“Isn’t it shocking how much violence and hatred is coming from the left?” he asked.
“Isn’t this supposed to be the party of empathy, and yet they’re burning Teslas and shooting up dealerships and calling for the death of the President and me? This is insane. They’ve gone psycho… That’s someone else’s car, leave it alone.”
Shivon Zilis is a Canadian technology executive and venture capitalist known for her work in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Born on February 8, 1986, in Markham, Ontario, Canada, to a Punjabi Indian mother and a Canadian father, she graduated from Yale University in 2008 with degrees in economics and philosophy. During her time at Yale, she was a standout goaltender on the women’s ice hockey team, earning the school’s all-time best goals-against average.
Zilis began her career at IBM, focusing on financial technologies in developing countries like Peru and Indonesia. From 2012 to 2018, she was a founding investor and partner at Bloomberg Beta, a venture capital firm backed by Bloomberg L.P., where she concentrated on machine intelligence investments. She later worked at Tesla from 2017 to 2019 as a project director for the Autopilot program and chip design team. Since 2017, she has been a key figure at Neuralink, Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company, serving as Director of Operations and Special Projects. She also served on the board of OpenAI, co-founded by Musk, until 2023, and joined the board of Shield AI, a defense tech company, in September 2023.
Beyond her professional achievements, Zilis has gained public attention for her personal connection to Elon Musk. The two met through her work with OpenAI and have four children together: twins Strider and Azure (born November 2021), a daughter Arcadia (born February 2024), and a son Seldon Lycurgus (birth date not publicly specified, announced in February 2025). Their children were conceived via in vitro fertilization, and while their relationship status remains private, they have been spotted together at high-profile events, including a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2025. Zilis has described Musk as someone who encouraged her to have children, citing his belief in the importance of smart people procreating.
Recognized as a rising star in tech, Zilis was named to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list for venture capitalists in 2015 and LinkedIn’s 35 Under 35. She’s known for her intellectual curiosity—drawing inspiration from philosophers like Nietzsche and Hume—and her passion for gaming, including strategy titles like Elden Ring, which she shares with Musk. Despite her prominence in AI and her ties to Musk, Zilis keeps a relatively low public profile, focusing on her work and family.
