NB Explains | Elon Musk’s son has an Indian connect? Union Minister's shares interesting info

In a surprising turn of events at the AI Summit in the United Kingdom, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar met Tesla owner, Elon Musk. The event unfolded on a Thursday, and it was during this impromptu meeting that Musk revealed a fascinating detail about his own family.

 

According to Chandrasekhar, during their brief encounter, Elon Musk mentioned that his son, with Shivon Zilis, shares the middle name "Chandrasekhar”. This unique middle name is a tribute to the renowned 1983 Nobel physicist, Professor S. Chandrasekhar, whose contributions to the field of astrophysics and his groundbreaking work on the evolution of massive stars have left an indelible mark on the scientific community.

 

Rajeev Chandrasekhar himself took to social media to share the exciting encounter, posting, "Look who I bumped into at #AISafetySummit at Bletchley Park, UK. Elon Musk shared that his son with Shivon Zilis has a middle name 'Chandrasekhar' - named after 1983 Nobel physicist Prof S. Chandrasekhar."

 

Shivon Zilis, in good spirits, replied to the post with a simple, "Haha, yes, that’s true."

 

 

 

 

As it turns out, the full name is a mouthful, so they affectionately refer to the young one as "Sekhar" for short.

 

Chandrasekhar didn't miss the chance to capture this memorable moment, sharing a photograph of the encounter with Elon Musk. The backdrop was the AI Safety Summit held at the historic Bletchley Park in the UK.

 

The Global AI Summit, as the event is formally known, serves as a significant platform where policymakers, investors, and innovators from across the globe come together to engage in discussions related to artificial intelligence. These conversations encompass the current state of AI, investment opportunities, commitments to AI technology, and the governance of AI advancements.
