A 15-year-old cancer patient who hoped to meet Elon Musk before her death had her final wish honored days later, when the tech entrepreneur responded publicly to a list of questions she left behind, as reported by Fox News.
Liv Perrotto, a teenager whose story was shared widely online, had been given the opportunity to speak with Musk shortly before her death. According to conservative commentator Glenn Beck, Perrotto was too weak to take the call at the time and asked if it could be rescheduled. She died before the conversation could take place.
Before her death, Perrotto wrote down a list of eight questions for Musk on a notepad that remained by her bedside. Her mother, Rebecca, later shared the handwritten list with Beck in the hope that Musk might still see and respond to it.
Beck posted photos of the teenager and the list on X, drawing attention to the story.

Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement
The questions covered a range of topics, including business plans, entertainment, and space exploration. Perrotto asked whether Musk planned to develop his own phone, expand the Tesla Diner concept, and introduce new games to Tesla software updates.
She also asked about Musk’s personal interests, including his favorite anime, whether he had traveled to Japan, and if he was familiar with the virtual pop star Hatsune Miku. Another question referenced the Grok AI virtual companion “Ani,” asking whether it was inspired by the fictional character “Misa” from the manga series “Death Note.”
Her final question focused on a personal creation. Perrotto designed a Shiba Inu plush toy named “Asteroid” as a zero-gravity indicator for the Polaris Dawn space mission. She asked whether the item could become the official mascot for SpaceX.
The post gained significant traction online, receiving nearly 2 million views along with tens of thousands of likes and shares.

Musk also shared that his favorite anime is “Your Name,” a Japanese romantic fantasy film, and noted that he has visited Japan multiple times. He identified Kyoto and the teamLab art collective as among his preferred destinations.

Everyone knows I cry a lot. So it probably doesn’t mean much when I say I cried the entire time while telling this story on the air today.
