Elon Musk's mysterious relationship with a Neuralink executive has fallen back under the spotlight this week as the billionaire appears to have taken his tryst public at Mar-a-Lago.
The world's richest man has been a fixture of Donald Trump's transition at his Florida estate since retaking the White House and this week seemingly brought the mother of three of his twelve children to the president-elect's hub.
In an image the billionaire shared to X this week a woman believed to be Shivon Zilis, 38, an executive at Musk's brain tech firm Neuralink, was in attendance.
She appeared in the background at the First Policy Institute's black tie gala on Thursday, as Musk smiled alongside Trump and the Argentinian President Javier Milei.
Musk was also carrying a young girl believed to be his daughter Azure, one of twins he welcomed with Zilis in 2021 before she gave birth to a third earlier this year.
In another image, Musk and Zilis put on a united front as they held hands with two of their children next to a swimming pool at Mar-a-Lago.
Some took the appearance of Zilis and their children as a sign Musk may be taking his relationship with the tech executive public. Their affair was previously shrouded in mystery and has overlapped with other women in Musk's life.

Zilis' appearance with Musk at Mar-a-Lago comes after it was reported last month that she had moved into a sprawling $35 million compound in Austin, Texas, that the Tesla billionaire purchased with the intention of his twelve children all living together.
The tech exec's relationship with Musk was first revealed when she birthed twins with him in 2021. At the same time Musk was also preparing to welcome a second child with ex-girlfriend Grimes.
It later emerged that Musk had donated sperm to Zilis through IVF, the same method Musk welcomed his children with first wife Justine Musk.
Grimes is thought to have only found out Musk was the father of Zilis's twins a month after they were born. Elon is said to have added insult to injury by taking a name they had decided for their daughter - Valkyrie - and giving it to one of Zilis' twins, sources told the New York Times.
Musk later opted not to name either twin Valkyrie, and landed on the names Strider and Azure.
In June, the billionaire confirmed he had welcomed a third child with Zilis - currently the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink - but kept the baby's name and gender a secret.
Musk's representatives and Neuralink did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the nature of his relationship with Zilis when contacted by DailyMail.com.

Musk has also been spotted at Mar-a-Lago this month with another of his children, son X AE A-XII, seen at Trump's election night celebration party
Musk has made no secret of his fears over depopulation and has frequently said it is 'one of the biggest threats' to humanity.
Building his staggering $270 billion net worth around renewability, this recently saw his rocket company SpaceX successfully catch its Starship rocket with giant mechanical arms, while his electric car company Tesla has grown to the world's most valuable automaker.
His prioritization for re-populating the earth has led Musk to have twelve children, and is showing no signs that he is done yet.
Musk also had six children with his first wife Justine, one of whom passed away shortly after birth, and three children with Grimes - named Exa Dark Sideræl, Tau Techno Mechanicus, and X AE A-XII, who has also made an appearance at Mar-a-Lago this month.
Four insiders told the New York Times that Musk bought the 14,00-square-foot mansion in Texas so his family could live in 'adjoining properties', allowing him to 'schedule time' for his youngest kids.
And while it is unclear if all Musk's exes are on board, Zilis has is thought to have already moved into one of the mansions on the Austin estate.
