Shivon Zilis, an executive at Neuralink and business partner of Elon Musk, recently posted a lighthearted experience regarding her son’s increasing reliance on Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot.
Toddler Seeks Answers from Grok
On an X (formerly Twitter) post, which has already received more than 489,000 views, Zilis outlined how her son now favors responses from Grok over hers.
“My son is in the ‘ask a thousand questions’ phase, and every time I say ‘I don’t know,’ he says, ‘OK then, let’s ask Grok.’ Mommy’s lack of knowledge is no longer acceptable when he knows the voice on my phone can answer every question,” she wrote.
Her post also reached Musk, who just answered, “Cool.”
Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis Welcome Baby Boy
Zilis posted the news just days after she revealed that she and Musk had a third child, a baby boy named Seldon Lycurgus. That is Musk’s 14th child in total.
She posted the news on X, stating that she and Musk chose to share it to celebrate their daughter Arcadia’s birthday.
“Discussed with Elon, and in light of beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son, Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much,” she posted.
She did not mention the date of birth of the baby but the post went viral in no time.
