Elon Musk celebrated his 54th birthday on June 28. On the special occasion, the Tesla founder received a heartfelt wish from his Indian-origin partner and director of Neuralink, Shivon Zilis. She shared a then-and-now picture collage of Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter). The post featured a throwback picture of a young Elon with a clown-shaped birthday cake, alongside a more recent picture of him with a similar cake. The dessert in question was topped with a whimsical, smiling face made of icing or fondant. It was settled on a vanilla base.

Elon Musk's love for desserts is not limited to cakes. The Tesla CEO also indulges in ice cream once in a while. Last year, in a post shared on X, Elon shared a delightful blast from the past: a photograph of his younger self. The little Musk was seen sporting a Mickey Mouse t-shirt as he flashed a million-dollar smile while clutching a cup of ice cream. The was a bit of the creamy treat smeared around his face, proving that messy eating is a universal childhood trait. The caption accompanying the post read: "Ice cream yum so good."

In addition to being a dessert connoisseur, Elon Musk is also a fan of Indian food. Back in 2023, X user Daniel shared a mouth-watering picture of butter chicken, naan and rice on the social media platform and wrote ''I love basic b***h Indian food it's so insanely good.'' Mr Musk wholeheartedly agreed with his opinion and wrote, ''True.''
