Despite the sudden end of their romantic relationship, Zilis emphasized that her primary objective remains the welfare of their four children. She expressed a strong desire to maintain a cooperative dynamic moving forward.
Neither Musk nor representatives for X, SpaceX, and Neuralink immediately issued public comments addressing the split. Zilis concluded her public remarks by offering a parting message of support to the billionaire entrepreneur.
I’ve loved him more than life itself. I do hope and pray he and I can be great friends and coparents.
