Shivon Zilis, mother of four of Musk's children, takes the stand at OpenAI trial

Shivon Zilis, a longtime adviser to Elon Musk and mother of four of his children, testified in a trial where Musk is suing OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman. Zilis worked at OpenAI from 2016 and served on its board for four years. She left the OpenAI board in 2023 after Musk started a competitor AI company, xAI. Zilis described a complicated relationship with Musk, stating it began with a 'one-off' at a corporate event and evolved into a romantic partnership. She claimed her relationship with Musk did not affect her decisions as an OpenAI board member. Greg Brockman testified that many board members wanted to remove Zilis from the board due to her relationship with Musk, but they decided to let her stay.
