But the facts presented by Mr Musk and Ms Zilis' relationship are so unusual that the corporate governance experts who reviewed the policy for Reuters expressed divergent views on whether they thought the entrepreneur had violated it by having children with his subordinate through IVF.
Reuters could not learn whether Mr Musk or Ms Zilis had disclosed the relationship to Ms Kristy Hilands, the people operations manager. Ms Hilands did not respond to requests for comment. For example, after learning in recent weeks that competitor Synchron had beaten Neuralink to a human trial in the United States, Mr Musk sent Ms Zilis to approach the company's CEO Thomas Oxley and arrange a meeting, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
The code defines a personal relationship as one where the individuals have a"continuing relationship of a romantic or intimate nature and who are not married to each other". It does not define a close friendship.
