Shivon Zilis, a former OpenAI board member, testified in federal court in Oakland, California on May 6, 2026, that Elon Musk offered her sperm donations, which resulted in her having four of his children. The testimony was part of ongoing legal proceedings related to Musk's acquisition of Twitter.
Zilis, who also worked at Neuralink, described her unconventional personal relationship with Musk. She stated that the arrangement was consensual and that Musk's offer was made in a personal context, not through any formal medical procedure.
The court appearance lasted several hours, during which Zilis provided details about the births of their children, which occurred between 2021 and 2024. The children's names have not been publicly disclosed.
Neither Musk nor his legal team have commented on the testimony. The case continues in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
