A 15-year-old cancer patient who dreamed of meeting\u00a0Elon Musk\u00a0left behind a handwritten list of questions for the tech billionaire before she died \u2014 and days later, he answered every one, honoring her final wish in a moment now touching millions online.<\/p>\n

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck took to X on Thursday<\/a> to share the heartbreaking story of Liv Perrotto, who passed away before she could fulfill her biggest dream of meeting Musk.<\/p>\n

According to Beck, Perrotto had the opportunity to speak with the Tesla CEO<\/a> just days before her death, but she was too exhausted and asked him to call back later.<\/p>\n

Although she died before their encounter, she left behind a handwritten list of eight questions on her nightstand, which her mother, Rebecca, shared with Beck in hopes that Musk would finally answer them.<\/p>\n

Beck posted photos of the teen and her notepad, which featured a playful mix of business and pop-culture questions.<\/p>\n

Perrotto asked if Musk planned to make his own phone<\/a>, expand the\u00a0Tesla Diner<\/a>, or add new games to Tesla updates.<\/p>\n

She was also curious about his favorite anime, travels to Japan, if he knew the virtual pop star Hatsune Miku<\/a>, and whether the Grok AI virtual companion \u201cAni\u201d was inspired by fictional character \u201cMisa\u201d from the manga series \u201cDeath Note.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her final question, Perrotto asked if \u201cAsteroid,\u201d a Shiba Inu zero-gravity indicator \u2014 a plush toy used to signal the onset of microgravity \u2014\u00a0that she designed for the Polaris Dawn space mission, could become the official mascot for SpaceX.<\/p>\n

The post garnered nearly two million views on the\u00a0social media platform, with tens of thousands of likes.<\/p>\n

On Thursday afternoon, Musk fulfilled the late teen\u2019s wish by replying directly to the post<\/a>, answering all eight questions in order.<\/p>\n

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

He shared that his favorite anime is \u201cYour Name,\u201d a Japanese romantic fantasy film, and noted that he has\u00a0been to Japan\u00a0\u201cseveral times\u201d \u2014 highlighting Kyoto and the teamLab art collective as his favorite places to visit.<\/p>\n

With a simple \u201cOK\u201d and a smiley face, Musk agreed to name her plushie the\u00a0space company\u2019s official mascot, turning her final question into a lasting tribute that honored her imagination.<\/p>\n
