Zilis, who serves as director of operations and special projects at Neuralink, announced Friday morning on X that she'd been let go from her relationship with Musk. When someone pointed out that Musk had unfollowed her on the platform, Zilis responded that she was hurting but still cared deeply for him and would continue hoping for his happiness. Zilis addressed the complicated nature of their relationship earlier this year while testifying in federal court, explaining that things began with a brief romantic encounter in 2016 before the two transitioned into close friends and colleagues, eventually deciding to co-parent children through IVF.
