Things between Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis seem to be over for good, as the duo has reportedly unfollowed each other. On October 2, 2026, Shivon shocked fans by sharing a screenshot of her and Elon’s private conversation, where the billionaire can be seen telling her, “Love you.” However, just a week later, Elon and Shivon abruptly split up.
Shivon opened up about their breakup in a lengthy statement that she posted alongside the screenshot. As this has put the focus on Shivon Zilis and Elon Musk’s relationship, her remarks on how the SpaceX CEO had offered to donate sperm have surfaced.
Elon Musk offered to donate his sperm to Shivon Zilis
Shivon Zilis initially had an unconventional relationship with Elon Musk, which later evolved into her having four kids with the billionaire. Shivon made the revelation that Elon had offered to donate his sperm to her during her appearance as part of Elon’s lawsuit trying to reverse OpenAI’s change to a for-profit company. Shivon, who has served as a board member for the company, said that Elon’s offer came in 2020. At the time, he was encouraging everyone around him to have kids, and since Shivon also desired to become a mother, she decided to accept Elon’s offer. In her words:
“I still really wanted to be a mum, and Elon made the offer around that time, and I accepted. He was encouraging everyone around him at that time to have kids, and he’d noticed I did not. He offered to make a donation.”
For the unversed, Shivon Zilis had worked as a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley for more than 15 years. She has held executive positions in both Elon Musk’s car company, Tesla, and his neurotechnology firm Neuralink.
Shivon Zilis joined OpenAI back in 2016, serving as an advisor. This was not long after the company was founded. Eventually Shivon became a director at OpenAI, remaining in that role from 2020 to 2023. It was while working at OpenAI that she first met Elon Musk.
Shivon shared that she had a “one-off” romance with Elon almost a decade ago. However, in 2020, when he offered to father her children, the two were not romantically involved. Shivon went on to explain that she had been struggling with several health issues, which had made her change her initial plan of following a more traditional route where she would get married and have children with a romantic partner.
After Shivon Zilis accepted Elon’s sperm donation and she welcomed her first two children, she did not intend for him to be an active father. At the time, she and Elon Musk decided that it would be better to keep his paternity “strictly confidential.” However, things changed, and soon Elon became a more active participant in the lives of their four children.
Shivon Zilis breaks silence on her abrupt breakup with Elon Musk
In a statement that Shivon Zilis shared on X (formerly Twitter) on October 2, 2026, she claimed that it was hard to go from being in love with someone to letting go without any warning. Instead of saying anything harsh about Elon, she expressed her gratitude for the time that they spent together.
She also stated that despite their breakup, which has left her hurting, she hopes to be great friends and co-parents with Elon. A part of Shivon’s statement read:
“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. I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity, I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide.”
