She had four kids with Elon Musk. Now she's central to his courtroom fight.
OAKLAND, Calif. - Shivon Zilis had her back against the wall.
For more than six years, the tech executive had worked largely outside the public eye as a trusted confidante to Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his three co-founders at the artificial intelligence start-up OpenAI. But now, as the company’s recently launched ChatGPT soared, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had discovered that Musk was planning a rival AI venture and poaching talent from the start-up, according to federal court testimony this week.
Zilis, who served on OpenAI’s board and had secretly had two children with Musk, urgently texted a friend.
“Have to resign OpenAI board btw,” Zilis wrote in February 2023 to a person identified in her contacts as Shahini Rubicon Fluffer. Musk’s “effort has become well known.”
