Elon Musk's relationship with Shivon Zilis—mother of four of his children—appears to have ended abruptly, yet amicably. "God speed, Elon, the world is lucky to have you," wrote Zilis, a tech executive, in a lengthy post on his X platform Friday, reports People. "It's hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that's just how it is sometimes," she added. Zilis is a Neuralink exec and a former OpenAI board member, per the Verge.

Zilis said their home life with twins Strider and Azure, daughter Arcadia, and baby Seldon had been Musk's "safe space," in contrast to what she called his "militant existence" elsewhere. "I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness," she wrote, adding that she will "always be cheering for his happiness."
