Tesla CEO Elon Musk is getting widespread applause on social media for fulfilling the last wish of a 15-year-old cancer patient. Conservative commentator Glenn Beck shared the heartfelt story on X, where it has since gone viral.
The girl Liv Perrotto always wanted to meet the tech billionaire and before she died, she wrote a few questions. According to Beck, Liv did get a chance to meet with Musk, but was too exhausted from treatment to talk to him and asked him to call later. Unfortunately, she died before the call could take place.
Realizing how important this was to her, Liv left eight questions on the bedside table. Her mother, Rebecca Perrotto, later shared the list with Beck, hoping Musk would see it.
Here is a list of questions:
1. Are you going to make your own phone?
2. Are you expanding Tesla Diner to new premises?
3. Will there be any new games with the upcoming Tesla updates?
4. What is your favorite anime?
5. Have you ever been to Japan? What was your favorite place or thing there?
6. Do you know who Hatsune Miku is?
7. Was Ani Misa inspired by Death Note?
8. Can you make Asteroid (the zero-gravity indicator Shiba Inu she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission) the SpaceX mascot?
Musk granted the wish by responding directly to Beck’s post, answering all eight questions in turn. The post received almost two million views and tens of thousands of likes. Reacting to his answers, Rebecca said: “I wish she was here to see it.
Here’s how social media users reacted:
The thread quickly spread across X, with users describing it as “heartbreaking and beautiful” and praising Musk for taking the time to respond to each point.
“One day thanks to Elon and people like him, our kids won’t have to die of cancer,” one user wrote.
“In a time of so much negativity and chaos, this is such a heartwarming reminder of the kindness and humanity in life. Well done,” another user wrote.
“Gone too soon but you will never be forgotten. If only you knew how many people shed tears over this. Rest in heaven sweet child,” added a third user.
