Shivon Zilis, the Indian-origin Neuralink executive who is the mother of Elon Musk’s twins, recently shared a heartwarming post in which she used xAI’s Grok to bring her son’s starship doodle to life. The animated result not only delighted parents on social media but also drew an affectionate response from Musk himself.
Zilis shared a drawing of a starship made by her 3-year-old son, Strider, addressed to "Daddy" Musk. The adorable creation showed a yellow spaceship flying to a pink Mars. Zilis then used Grok Imagine, a new generative AI tool that allows users to create AI images and videos from text prompts, to bring the drawing to life.
"Imagine bringing images to life," she wrote in the caption. The video garnered thousands of views, and among the hundreds of parents sharing animated versions of their own children's paintings, Musk also left a love-struck reaction. Sharing a simple smiling emoji with hearts around it, the X owner reacted to the post, later resharing it with the caption: 'Grok Imagine can turn your child’s drawing into an animated movie."
