Don’t let his geeky look fool you. Elon Musk is a person that has many exes. But even though he has numerous girlfriends and several wives, no particularly scandalous drama surrounds him. This is due to his strict rules and guidelines that he conditions his partners to follow in order to be with him and to have a good relationship with him even after a break-up.
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. His fortune sits well above $200 billion, a number not achieved until now. He is above 50 years old and as such he is on the dating market for about 40 years. During this period he has many girlfriends, and he has three marriages.
Some Rules That Elon Musk Asks His Ex-Girlfriends And Ex-Wives To Follow
The first rule that he as a celebrity and a famous person sets is that his exes need to get along and not create unnecessary drama in his life.
Proof of this is the leaked email that Elon’s first wife, Justine Wilson sent to his second wife, Talulah Riley. There she expresses her willingness to be friends with Riley.
“I would rather live out the French-movie version of things, in which the two women become friends and various philosophies are pondered.” – Justine Wilson states in the email.
Wilson, Elon’s long-time girlfriend, and first wife is a subject of numerous interviews and constant questioning regarding her ex-husband. So many of these ‘rules’ leak from her statements.
Elon is a person that knows what he wants and organizes himself as tightly as possible to fulfill his schedule as efficiently as possible. So you do not cancel plans with Elon. This rises to be one of his dating rules that lasts since his student years.
His ex-wife Justine Wilson reveals that when they were both studying in Ontario, Canada and they were to be met for the first time she needed to cancel plans with him. However, after she called him to cancel Elon went to her place and held the date as initially planned.
“I said yes, but then blew him off with a note on my dorm-room door. Several hours later, my head bent over my Spanish text in an overheated room in the student center, I heard a polite cough behind me. Elon was smiling awkwardly, two chocolate-chip ice cream cones dripping down his hands.” – Justine Wilson reveals.
Being the wealthiest man on the planet takes some tolls. The papyrology and the administrative work needed to sort out a small company takes 50% of your time as a founder. Now imagine what it would take if you have a multi-billion empire with three major companies that develop and work in several different fields. In order to cope with reality and avoid ‘inventing’ more hours to the 24-hour day, you need to have a strict schedule. Elon requires his partners to cope with his schedule.
Allegedly exactly his tight schedule is the reason that things did not work out between him and Amber Heard.
“They had fun for a few months, but are both very busy with work now. It was getting hard to find time to see each other. Elon is working day and night. This is his life and he loves it. He is in no position to be in a relationship right now and ended it.” – a source close to the billionaire told The People magazine.
Amber is not the only ex-partner of the billionaire that finds it difficult to work out the relationship around Elon’s schedule. Allegedly this is the reason that Elon and Grimes are currently separated. She needs to work in LA and he is devoted to Tesla and SpaceX in Texas.
You simply do not talk about certain things around Elon. Musk makes it clear that certain things are not up for discussion. As an example, again, his first wife Justine Wilson states that he refused to talk about their firstborn that died as an infant. He told his wife that this thing is not up for discussion as he finds it very emotionally manipulative.
“Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada.” – Justine says. “I didn’t understand this, just as he didn’t understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as ’emotionally manipulative’.”
Musk is a very affectionate person. Once he sees value in something he will not let it go. This is valid for his businesses, his ideas, and also, for his partners. He makes it very clear that he is not around to play around. You both commit to the relationship and strive to have it long-term or you don’t bother at all. Elon is not a casual dating guy.
“I’m looking for a long-term relationship.” – Musk says for the Rolling Stone. “I’m not looking for a one-night stand, but for a serious companion or soulmate, that kind of thing.”
The social media, the tabloids, the newsletters, the blogs, and the news, all target Elon constantly. He has many friends and fans, but he doesn’t lack ‘enemies’ or people countering him as well. While articles mentioning him arise on a daily basis, he informs his partners that they should not believe everything they read or hear about him.
“I am simply unprepared.” – Elon says for Wall Street Journal. “You casually respond to someone in a tweet and it’s on Fox News, and you’re like, ‘Ugh,’ you know? That was a very disturbing moment.”
Being the wealthiest person in the world has its perks. For example, you can spend as much money as you want. And the same goes for your ‘better half’. For that reason, Elon is gifting a credit card to his current girlfriend, or wife. She can spend as much money as she wants. While occasionally they may use the card, most of his partners open up to tell him that they do not want to take money from him.
For example, Grimes, his most recent wife tells that she never used the card. She feels guilty to take money from Tesla, the most innovative car brand to fund her ‘stupid art projects’.
“Grimes funds Grimes. I can’t say the things I say and believe what I believe and then take money from my boyfriend.” – Grimes tells the Business Insider.
Sleeping alone is another great issue that Elon has acquired throughout the years. He works long hours and in the early days of his business, he could have been found sleeping in his office, on the office couch, or on the floor. He always had money and big luxurious houses. But he never found ‘peace’ or satisfaction in having a big house that is empty. In an interview for Rolling Stone, back in 2017, he reveals his biggest dread. That is sleeping alone. As strange as it sounds, nobody wants to come back home and have no one to wait for him there. Our design as humans is not like that. The very thought of the sound of your footsteps echoing through the hallway of an empty house creates a depressive feeling in your guts.
“Going to sleep alone kills me.” – Elon states. “It’s not like I don’t know what that feels like: Being in a big empty house, and the footsteps echoing through the hallway, no one there — and no one on the pillow next to you.”
You cannot accomplish what Elon has by not obsessing over some things. In Elon’s case that is his professional life and career. He makes it very clear to his partners and to his family as well – his professional life comes first.
Sometimes Elon is known not to return to his home for days. He sleeps over in his office, obsessing over some issue that they might be facing. He is not leaving the plant until that issue is solved. According to him, this is the way great companies are made. With sweat, work, and more work. If you are not obsessing over something, is it even worth fighting to develop it?
Musk has seven children. Over his long relationships and marriages, he succeeds to have offspring with all of his ex-partners. He has five kids with Justine Wilson only, his first wife. According to him, a family with many kids is the reason to live and the thing that we owe to the world.
Lately, he is obsessing over the world population and he is making some calculations on what can we expect if the birth rate continues with the same trend. He warns Japan, Europe, and the USA of this problem. Musk stands firmly with the opinion that multi-child families are helping the world. You must love and embrace your kids.

Elon Musk is a subject that needs to be ignored. His own mother says he is “On the Spectrum”. He is on something. Manipulative; a controlling too wealthy, very brilliant man. Brilliance does not equal anything but brilliance for some things. Well rounded. HAH! I have known wannabe Elon’s. They make the lives of other’s HELL. It is – in my book, part of what entertains them. I do not find Elon entertaining or excusable, spectrum or not. In the parlance of some South Asian women, he could use “two tight slaps”. I would be in the line to do just this. I find him creepy, tiresome and I do wish he would set up, alone, on Mars; as is his wish. He probably could terra-form the planet, but should he encounter any sentient beings, I suspect he would terrify them.
