But why is Elon Musk’s love life so chaotic?

“Elon Musk welcomed his twelfth child”. This is the headline that stands out on our phone screen while we try to escape the boredom of the subway ride. And it’s hard to absorb the news, especially before the coffee break. Agreed Telegraph: , we don’t know the child’s name, gender, or even the circumstances of birth. What we do know, however, is that it comes from the romance between a businessman and the director of his Neuralink company, Shivonne Zillis.

In turn, the co-founder of SpaceX, a little annoyed, assures Page six that the arrival of her last child is “no secret”; The manager of the company just didn’t find it appropriate to warn the whole world. We admire the pragmatism of the billionaire, whose personal life was already dizzyingly complicated. Elon Musk has really been in the eye of the storm lately for many reasons.

ElonGate

during the investigation carried out by Wall Street Journal , on June 11, several women accused him of sexual harassment. We are informed that the businessman literally asked one of the employees of SpaceX… to give him children. After all, it’s normal. Elon Musk would be convinced that people with high IQs should have more children to combat the declining birthrate. An offer that his employee, however, would gladly refuse.

The story does not end here. We are surprised to discover that the billionaire would also demand sexual favors from a flight attendant working for his company instead of a horse. Yes, you read that right, according to Bloomberg, the billionaire allegedly promised his interlocutor to buy a tribe if the latter gave in to his advance payments. And he would face a new rejection.

As for the hostess in question, the company would greatly curtail its missions even if she walked away with a $250,000 (€231,000) check. Claims that Elon Musk, in turn, mocked on social media, insisting that this scandal should be called “ElonGate“, and that, in any case, he did not have flight attendants on his private flights. THE: Wall Street Journal He also mentions an incident that happened with one of his former colleagues, who he touched on the chest, declaring: I shouldn’t do that.”

“How much time should you give to a woman?”

Amazed by these stories, we decide to plunge again into the sentimental life of self-proclaimed people.Technoking“. No less a chaotic journey through the twists and turns of her romantic history, accompanied by three unions, remarriage, three divorces and twelve births. First there was Jennifer Gwynn, whom he dated for almost a year in the mid-1990s. The young woman admired Elon Musk’s “quiet intensity.” He is unfortunately “not very good” at maintaining long distance relationships.

Both students in Pennsylvania, they broke up when he graduated and moved to California to attend Stanford. In fact, Elon Musk isn’t much better at relationships at all. A clumsiness that would characterize him in most of his future stories. How much time a week should you give to your wife? he once asked author Ashley Vance, who wrote the biography Elon Musk. Tesla, SpaceX and the Quest for a Fantastic Future. Maybe 10 hours? Is it the minimum? I don’t really know…” It’s not surprising. For Elon Musk, time is money.

A tyrannical father

It must be said that the co-founder of OpenAI has always been a little different. As a teenager, a man raised in South Africa already reads two books a day. And not really interested in his friends’ hobbies. Convinced that he has “high intellectual potential,” Ashley Vance describes him in the podcast: Scandals as “a know-it-all guy who doesn’t have many friends at school.” Elon Musk also operates under the patronage of a tyrannical father.

At home, Errol Musk constantly calls her an idiot and is said to have once physically abused her. His mother, May, is not really close to her children. He will run away from the matrimonial home. Errol Musk decides to start his life anew. We are surprised to learn that after another separation, he maintained a long relationship with his second wife, his daughter who is 42 years younger than him. Both had a child.

A family pattern that certainly hasn’t helped Elon Musk move forward peacefully in his love life. And we wonder to what extent these events have had an impact on the future. in the same episode ScandalsPsychologist Julie Colombel gives us the beginning of an answer. “He probably had to protect himself from the violence of the context in which he was operating and retreat emotionally.”

“No is not an answer”

In 2018, the businessman also revealed that he has Asperger’s. A syndrome that includes, according to the specialist, difficulties in “adapting to social norms”, “understanding everything that is indirect” and “decentralizing oneself and one’s problems to be interested in others.” Hence Elon Musk’s inability to listen to Canadian writer Justin Wilson’s refusal when he first asked him out for ice cream in the late 1990s.

As soon as he was rejected, Elon Musk returned to the accusation… with two ice creams. That day, the student discovered one of the main principles of the billionaire: “No is not an answer for him.” On their wedding day in 2000, he whispered to her that he was the couple’s “alpha”. During their union, Justine Wilson must display treasures of patience and remind her that she is his wife, not his employee.

In 2008, however, it was Elon Musk who filed for divorce. An inquiry about which he did not see fit to inform the main interested party. He discovers this while shopping because his credit card no longer works. Today, she communicates with the entrepreneur through his assistant when it comes to discussing their children; the two had a son, Nevada, born in 2002, who died at ten weeks old, as well as twins Griffin and Vivian, born in 2004, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, born in 2006.

A “poisonous and hellish” story

Six weeks after his divorce, Elon Musk is back. He met actress Tallulah Riley in one of the London bars. The swan on the cake: they got engaged. And we are surprised by this somewhat premature decision, which undoubtedly predicts an equally unstable future. In 2010, Elon Musk married the actress before they split two years later. The pair reconnected the following year. And decides to get married again.

“It was ridiculous to be together without marriage when we already were,” explains Tallulah Riley. The argument certainly makes us question it. In 2016, he was the one who ended their marriage (forever). The entrepreneur then set his sights on actress Amber Heard, with whom he had an intense romance in 2017, going so far as to confide in her Rolling Stone that the actress broke his heart.

Moreover, his relatives are far from approving of this idyll. They describe this relationship as “toxic” and “hell”. And blame the actress for “dragging Elon Musk into a dark vortex that lasted more than a year and caused deep pain that still lingers.” After a brief reconciliation, their final split was announced in February 2018. Four years later, Elon Musk was called to testify at the trial of Amber Heard and her ex-husband Johnny Depp, something he never would have done.

“Division”

His story with singer Grimes is no less incredible. During one of their first dates in 2018, Elon Musk playfully tried to impress her. He invites her into his Tesla, which he decides to drive on autopilot, blindfolded and hands off the wheel. Grimes must also pass a knowledge test Lord of the Rings. A whole program.

They appeared together for the first time in public at the Met Gala. Two years later, Claire Boucher (the musician’s real name) announced the birth of their son, X Æ A-XII, nicknamed “X”. The couple split in September 2021 under relatively obscure circumstances. “We are divided in half, but we still love each other,” Elon Musk stated in the columns. Page six. However, the former couple reconciled and adopted a baby girl born to a surrogate mother in late 2021. the child was named Exa Dark Sideræl, short for “Y”.

Legal battle.

The following year, another baby boy, Techno Mechanicus, nicknamed “Tau”, was born. The child Grimes refers to in the cryptic tweet has since been deleted, ensuring she can no longer see her son. So she filed an application in a California court to “establish her parental rights.”

This request, which is common in the United States, allows the child’s parents to be identified when they are not married. TMZ It also states that if the young woman were to formally request custody of Tau, it would certainly be granted to her unless the court deemed her “unfit” to assume her role as a parent. Grimes’ latest plea, therefore, could foreshadow a bitter legal battle. The artist also accused Shivonne Zillis, the mother of Strider and Azur, Elon Musk’s twins born in late 2021 and his last child, of already blocking her on social media. Since then, the two women have buried the hatchet. Are you following? Neither do we.

Especially since the billionaire is also believed to have had an affair with Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s wife, Nicole Shanahan, which the billionaire denies. We will leave the final word of the story to someone close to the Australian actress Natasha Bassett, with whom the businessman once met. “Natasha has learned so much from Elon and is grateful for the time they spent together, which was very precious and surreal.” We couldn’t have said it better.
