Elon Musk answers dying teen’s 8 questions, names her plush toy SpaceX mascot

A 15-year-old cancer patient who dreamed of meeting Elon Musk left behind a handwritten list of questions for the tech billionaire before he died — and days later, he answered every one of them, honoring his final wish in an instant now reaching millions online.

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck spoke to X on Thursday to share the heartbreaking story of Liv Perrotto, who died before she could realize her biggest dream: meeting Musk.

According to Beck, Perrotto had the opportunity to speak with the Tesla CEO just days before his death, but she was too exhausted and asked him to call back later.

Although she died before they met, she left behind a handwritten list of eight questions on her nightstand, which her mother, Rebecca, shared with Beck in the hopes that Musk would finally answer them.

Beck posted photos of the teen and her notepad, which featured a playful mix of business and pop culture questions.

Perrotto asked if Musk plans to make his own phone, expand the Tesla Diner, or add new games to Tesla’s updates.

She was also curious about his favorite anime, his travels to Japan, whether he knew about virtual pop star Hatsune Miku, and whether Grok AI’s virtual companion “Ani” was based on the fictional character “Misa” from the manga series “Death Note.”

For his final question, Perrotto asked if “Asteroid,” a Shiba Inu weightlessness indicator – a stuffed toy used to signal the onset of microgravity – which she designed for the Polaris Dawn space mission, could become the official mascot of SpaceX.

The post has been viewed almost two million times on the social media platform, with tens of thousands of likes.

On Thursday afternoon, Musk granted the late teen’s wish by responding directly to the post, answering all eight questions in order.

Musk revealed that he is not making his own phone, but confirmed plans to expand the Tesla Diner and introduce new games.

He shared that his favorite anime is “Your Name,” a Japanese romantic fantasy film, and noted that he has been to Japan “several times,” highlighting Kyoto and the art collective teamLab as his favorite places to visit.

With a simple “OK” and a smiling face, Musk agreed to name his stuffed animal the space company’s official mascot, turning his final question into a lasting tribute that graced his imagination.

Rebecca responded to Musk’s responses in tears: “I wish she was here to see this.”
