What Did Shivon Zilis Say? Zilis wrote that she hoped her relationship gave Musk a steady, loving refuge from the intense pressures surrounding his work and public life.

Musk has not publicly commented on the breakup, and a request for comment had not received a response. Musk also has six children with Justine Wilson, three with Grimes, and one with Ashley St. Clair, according to the source article.
