Sam Altman texted Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his children, asking if he should publicly praise Musk on X (formerly Twitter), revealing efforts to mend their relationship amid Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI. The text, dated February 9, 2023, led to a subsequent tweet where Altman acknowledged Musk’s contributions to society. Altman and Musk, co-founders of OpenAI in 2015, had previously experienced tensions over the organization’s direction. Zilis, who has four children with Musk, was also involved with OpenAI’s board until March 2023.
