Central to her message was the role she said she played in Musk's life. She described their family home as a place of genuine refuge for the entrepreneur, where warmth and calm replaced the pressures of his public life and work.

"We were always his safe space. A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war," she wrote.

She said she took pride in being someone who could lift Musk's spirits during difficult moments. "I loved being that counterbalancing place of safety, sense of calm, and love — and delighted in bringing a smile back to his face when he was down. I will miss him dearly," Zilis added.

She also touched on how profoundly Musk had shaped her own life. "I've loved him more than life itself and he's taught me 100 lifetimes of knowledge and made my cup overflow with life meaning, so there is a lot of loss," she wrote.

"I'm hurting, but care deeply about E and will always be cheering for his happiness. God speed, Elon, the world is lucky to have you," she wrote.

Musk had not publicly commented on the split or responded to Zilis' post at the time she published it. Zilis, who previously served on the board of OpenAI and has held roles connected to Musk's companies, has not spoken publicly about the relationship before this post.
