start of something lasting a brilliant entrepreneur and an ambitious writer building a future together they had five children wealth and a life many would envy but behind closed doors cracks were forming Justine found herself in a relationship where she felt unheard unseen and emotionally abandoned she stayed hoping things would change but then out of nowhere she got a message that made her World Stop Elon was engaged to someone else no discussion no warning just a cold matter of fact text and that wasn't even the worst part there was one final incident that pushed Justine to walk away for good what was it and where is she now stick around because this one's shocking but first let's look at the couple's life before all the drama 1:01 Young Love and elon's Relentless Pursuit Elon and Justine's story began in the 1990s when they met at Queens University in Ontario Canada Justine an English literature major was passionate about writing storytelling and literature Elon already exhibiting the intensity that would later Define him was drawn to Innovation problem solving and the mechanics of success their first interaction was not one of instant fireworks Justine later recalled how Elon had approached her confidently asking her out for ice cream she declined believing it was just another casual invitation but Elon even then was not one to take no lightly later he arrived at her dorm room holding two melting ice cream cones refusing to accept defeat his persistence was endearing but also foreshadowed the determined uncompromising nature that 2:00 would later dominate their relationship while Justine admired elon's intelligence and ambition she found his social interactions to be somewhat mechanical he was direct sometimes lacking the warmth of spontaneity but his confidence was magnetic he had a vision for the future that was larger than life and in some ways it was impossible not to be drawn into his orbit after some years of on and off dating the couple reconnected after Elon moved to Silicon Valley his business ventures including zip 2 and later PayPal were beginning to take off at the same time Justine was pursuing her own aspirations working on her first novel despite their differences they shared a belief in success in Breaking past limitations and in shaping their own Futures it was a connection that seemed unshakable at least for a while marriage and the emergence of power imbalances in Jan January 2000 Elon and 3:01 Justine married beginning a new chapter as husband and wife the early days of their marriage were filled with hope and excitement as they built a life together in California but even in those initial years there were signs of friction Elon driven by efficiency and results often treated life including their marriage as a strategic Pursuit he valued discipline control and forward momentum Justine on the other hand believed in passion creativity and emotional depth she wanted a relationship built on equality while Elon viewed relationships through a hierarchical lens she later described moments where she felt sidelined reduced to playing a role rather than being an equal partner Elon a man who built rockets and electric cars had a mind that was always operating at full speed he expected the same level of structure and obedience in his personal life in one particularly telling moment he reportedly told Justin if you were my 4:01 employee I would fire you one of the earliest signs of control in their marriage came when Elon told her I am the alpha in this relationship though she brushed it off at first his words became a reality over time Justine felt increasingly diminished struggling to find her place in elon's world she later revealed that when she tried to assert herself Elon would remind her that if she were an employee he would have fired her tragedy strikes the loss of their first child in 2002 the couple welcomed their first child a son named Nevada Alexander for a brief moment their world was filled with pure joy but their happiness shattered when at just 10 weeks old Nevada passed away from sudden infant death syndrome SIDS the Lost devastated Justine she grieved deeply struggling to process the unimaginable pain of losing a child but Elon true to 5:01 his nature compartmentalized his emotions he refused to dwell on Grief choosing instead to immerse himself in work when Justine tried to talk about their loss Elon shut down the conversation telling her he did not want to discuss it this emotional divide became a defining fracture in their marriage Justine needed to express her sorrow to process the tragedy Elon however saw emotions as obstacles to progress his way of coping was to move forward without looking back but for Justine the silence surrounding their loss only deepened her feelings of isolation determined to continue growing their family the couple turned to IVF in 2004 they welcomed twins Griffin and Xavier two years later triplets Damen Saxon and Kai were born with five young children their home should have been filled with warmth and love instead Justine felt increasingly sidelined she 6:02 struggled under the weight of raising five children while still trying to hold on to her own identity elon's Relentless work ethic meant he was often absent focused on his burgeoning Empire rather than their family when he was present he expected efficiency and Order Justine found herself feeling more like an accessory to his life rather than a partner the imbalance in their marriage became undeniable Elon had a clear idea of what he wanted in a wife someone who fits seamlessly into his structured high performance world he once told Justine I am the alpha in this relationship to him it was a statement of fact to her it was a realization that she had lost herself entirely the breaking point divorce and public Fallout by 2008 the cracks in Elon Musk and Justine musk's marriage had deepened into irreparable fractures what had started as a Love Story between two 7:00 ambitious intelligent individuals had become a battleground of emotional Detachment power struggles and unmet needs Justine had long felt like a supporting character in elon's Grand narrative but even she couldn't have anticipated how abruptly their marriage would end one day out of nowhere Elon sent her a text message one that would shatter any remaining illusion of reconciliation he told her in no uncertain terms that he was engaged to someone else there was no discussion no prior warning just a cold matter OFA declaration that their life together was officially over and the most shocking part he had already moved on not just emotionally but legally and romantically to Outsiders Elon and Justine had the kind of Life most people could only dream of they were wealthy they had five children and Elon was at the helm of some of the world's most exciting companies but behind closed doors their 8:01 marriage had turned into a struggle for power and autonomy one where Justine felt increasingly voiceless elon's approach to relationships was strikingly similar to how he ran his businesses ruthless efficient and results driven he believed in a structured disciplined way of living which extended into their marriage while Justine craved emotional depth and equality Elon saw the relationship in terms of hierarchy she had started as his intellectual equal a woman with dreams of her own but over the years she had felt herself Fading Into the background she was now Elon musk's wife not Justine musk the writer The Thinker the dreamer and yet for all the emotional distance between them Justine never imagined that Elon would leave the mother of his children so suddenly only to propose to someone else without even telling her first the divorce proceedings quickly turned into a bitter legal battle 9:00 centered around the financial agreement Justine had signed years earlier early in their marriage Elon had convinced her to sign a postnuptial agreement reassuring her it wasn't a prenuptial contract at the time Justine believed they would never divorce so she signed it without much concern however when the divorce became official she realized the full impact of what she had signed the post Nal agreement significantly limited her Financial claims leaving her with a fraction of what she believed she was entitled to by then elon's wealth had skyrocketed to over $100 million yet Justine found herself in a battle just to secure a fair share for herself and their children Justine fought back arguing that the agreement was invalid because it lacked full Financial disclosure her legal team insisted that elon's Rising wealth particularly following the PayPal sale 10:02 had not been properly disclosed when the contract was signed they claimed that Elon had misrepresented his financial position potentially rendering the contract fraudulent Elon on the other hand stood firm he maintained that Justine had signed the agreement willingly and that it should be upheld the legal battle dragged on for 2 years with Justine determined to challenge the agreement after years of legal wrangling the Court ruled in elon's favor upholding the postnuptial agreement however the judge acknowledged the complexity of the case and certified it for appeal meaning the legal battle wasn't necessarily over despite losing the financial case Justine focused on securing a stable future for their children the divorce settlement included shared custody of their five Sons ensuring that they would have both parents in their lives the public reaction and Justine's 11:00 outspoken response most divorces between high-profile figures are handled quietly through private settlements and confidential agreements but Justine refused to fade into the background she was not just going to be another ex-wife of a billionaire she had her own story to tell in a raw and candid essay published in Marie CLA Justine detailed the unraveling of her marriage she didn't hold back she wrote about the emotional neglect the power struggles and how she felt like Elon had slowly erased her sense of self one of the most striking parts of her essay was her recollection of their financial Dynamic despite being married to one of the wealthiest men in the world Justine had never felt financially independent Elon controlled their assets their spending and in many ways her ability to walk away she described how during the divorce she had to fight for for a fair settlement not because she 12:01 wanted more money but because she wanted what she believed she deserved as an equal partner in their shared Journey Justine's essay painted a stark picture of what it was like to be married to a 12:13 man like Elon Musk brilliant ambitious 12:16 but emotionally 12:17 unavailable and while her words 12:19 resonated with many they also painted 12:21 Elon in a light that made some people 12:24 uncomfortable for all of his 12:26 achievements for all of his 12:28 technological Advan ments and space 12:30 fairing dreams Elon Musk had failed at 12:33 one of the most fundamental Human 12:35 Relationships his marriage perhaps the 12:38 most shocking part of Justine's story 12:40 wasn't just the divorce itself but who 12:43 Elon left her for elon's new fiance was 12:46 Tula Riley a British actress 14 years 12:49 younger than Justine the two had met at 12:52 a London Club and had an almost instant 12:54 connection while Justine was still 12:56 processing the collapse of her marriage 12:59 Elon was already in a whirlwind romance 13:01 with a woman barely in her 20s to 13:04 Justine this was not just about Elon 13:06 moving on it was about being replaced 13:10 Elon didn't just want a new relationship 13:12 he wanted a new version of a wife 13:15 someone younger someone who had not yet 13:17 been worn down by years of emotional 13:19 neglect Tula was beautiful intelligent 13:23 and ambitious in her own way but she was 13:26 also inexperienced in the ways of 13:28 marriage to a man like like Elon Justine 13:31 having already endured years of feeling 13:33 like a lesser priority in her husband's 13:35 life saw Tula as the next in line 13:38 someone who would soon learn what it 13:40 meant to be in Elon musk's orbit the 13:43 speed with which Elon remarried was a 13:45 testament to how he approached life 13:47 always looking forward never dwelling on 13:50 the past life after divorce Justine's 13:55 reinvention in the aftermath of the 13:57 divorce Justine had a choice she could 13:59 either let the experience Define her or 14:01 she could reclaim her identity she chose 14:04 the latter she returned to her passion 14:07 for writing publishing novels that 14:09 reflected deep emotional themes and the 14:12 resilience of the human Spirit she also 14:15 became an advocate for women in 14:16 high-profile marriages using her 14:19 platform to discuss the importance of 14:21 maintaining one's sense of self in 14:24 relationships she made it clear that 14:26 despite the pain of the divorce she was 14:28 grateful for what she had learned in a 14:31 way leaving Elon gave her back something 14:33 she had lost her independence elon's 14:37 subsequent relationships Tula Riley was 14:40 a rising star in the British film 14:42 industry when she met Elon Musk in 14:45 2008 she had made a name for herself in 14:47 movies like Pride and Prejudice and St 14:50 trinians and was seen as a talented 14:52 young actress with a promising career 14:54 ahead of her unlike Justine who had been 14:57 musk's intellectual equal and partner 15:00 during his early struggles Tula met him 15:03 when he was already a billionaire he was 15:05 no longer the struggling entrepreneur 15:07 trying to make Tesla and SpaceX work he 15:10 was now a force in the tech World 15:12 shaping Industries and gaining worldwide 15:15 recognition their introduction happened 15:17 in a London nightclub a setting that 15:20 seemed wildly out of place for a man as 15:22 introverted and work obsessed as musk at 15:25 the time he was still finalizing his 15:27 divorce from Justine but that didn't 15:29 stop him from pursuing something new 15:32 Tula later described Elon as intense and 15:35 captivating unlike anyone she had ever 15:38 met he swept her off her feet in typical 15:41 musk fashion fast determined and 15:44 Relentless he flew her to Los Angeles 15:47 where she got a firsthand look at his 15:49 world of private jets billion dooll 15:51 companies and ambitious dreams of space 15:55 travel despite being 14 years younger 15:58 than Musk Tula quickly fell into his 16:01 orbit by 2010 just 2 years after they 16:04 met they were married in a lavish 16:07 ceremony the wedding was extravagant but 16:10 for Elon romance wasn't about the fairy 16:12 tale it was about stability Tula seemed 16:16 to bring a calming presence into his 16:18 chaotic world something he had struggled 16:20 to find after the breakdown of his first 16:23 marriage the first divorce for a while 16:26 it seemed like Elon had found happiness 16:29 again tulula took on the role of 16:30 stepmother to his five children and 16:33 adapted to his demanding lifestyle 16:35 however just as Justine had warned 16:38 musk's work ethic left little room for 16:40 personal relationships he would 16:42 disappear for days at a time consumed by 16:45 his work at Tesla and SpaceX expecting 16:48 Tula to accept his absence without 16:50 complaint by 2012 their marriage had 16:53 begun to crumble Tula felt increasingly 16:56 isolated stuck in a life where she was 16:59 expected to follow elon's routines and 17:01 adapt to his work first 17:03 mentality then in a move eerily similar 17:06 to how he ended his marriage with 17:07 Justine Elon coldly told Tula that he no 17:11 longer loved her not long after that he 17:14 filed for 17:16 divorce the second marriage a doover 17:18 that didn't work less than 18 months 17:21 after their divorce musk had a change of 17:23 heart he realized that he had made a 17:25 mistake and reached out to Tula again 17:28 Against All Odds she agreed to give him 17:31 another chance by July 2013 they were 17:35 married for the second time to Outsiders 17:38 it was baffling why remarry the same 17:40 person when the first attempt had 17:42 already ended in Failure some believed 17:45 that Elon had difficulty Letting Go his 17:48 life was built around controlling 17:50 outcomes and perhaps he saw his failed 17:52 marriage as something he could fix just 17:55 like an engineering problem T Lula for 17:58 her part 17:59 must have believed in the possibility of 18:01 change in the idea that this time things 18:04 would be different for a while they made 18:07 an effort to adjust musk tried to be 18:10 more present and Tula supported his work 18:13 they were seen at events together and 18:15 for a moment it looked like they had 18:17 figured out how to coexist in elon's 18:20 high-speed world but before long the 18:23 same issues that had plagued their first 18:24 marriage 18:25 resurfaced elon's obsessive work 18:28 schedule once again took precedence over 18:30 their relationship he became emotionally 18:33 withdrawn spending more time at SpaceX 18:35 and Tesla than at home Tula was left 18:38 alone for long stretches feeling like 18:41 she was married to a man who prioritized 18:43 Rockets over 18:45 romance despite their second attempt at 18:48 marriage the same emotional distance and 18:50 imbalance 18:52 remained by 2016 after 3 years of trying 18:56 again Tula had finally had enough 18:59 this time she was the one who filed for 19:01 divorce the split was amicable with musk 19:04 agreeing to another multi-million dollar 19:06 settlement unlike their first separation 19:09 this time it was clear that they were 19:11 done for good elon's next 19:14 relationship if Tula was the stabilizing 19:17 force in musk's life then Amber herd was 19:20 the complete opposite after his second 19:23 and final divorce from Tula in late 2016 19:26 musk quickly moved on to the hollyood 19:28 hwood actress plunging into one of the 19:31 most dramatic and controversial 19:33 relationships of his life Amber herd 19:36 fresh from her high-profile and 19:38 turbulent split from Johnny Depp seemed 19:41 to bring a new kind of chaos into musk's 19:43 World their relationship was fast-paced 19:46 and intense filled with grand romantic 19:48 gestures but also riddled with arguments 19:50 and emotional turmoil musk had long been 19:53 fascinated by Amber reportedly pursuing 19:56 her for years before they actually got 19:59 together when they finally did their 20:01 relationship became a spectacle with 20:04 Paparazzi capturing their every move but 20:08 despite their intense chemistry the 20:10 cracks soon began to show their time 20:14 together was filled with ups and downs 20:16 passionate moments followed by painful 20:19 fights eventually after multiple 20:21 breakups and 20:23 reconciliations their relationship came 20:25 to an end it was a chapter in musk's 20:28 life proved to be just as chaotic as his 20:31 previous relationships if not more so 20:35 what went wrong and why did Elon a man 20:38 known for his intelligence and strategic 20:40 thinking find himself entangled in such 20:42 a volatile romance following his split 20:45 from Tula Riley musk found himself drawn 20:49 to actress Amber herd their relationship 20:52 which became public in 2016 had been in 20:55 the making for years musk reportedly 20:58 became interested in herd in 2012 while 21:01 she was still married to Johnny Depp he 21:03 pursued her persistently sending her 21:06 messages and arranging meetings through 21:08 mutual friends but at the time nothing 21:10 serious developed when herd's highly 21:13 publicized divorce from Depp concluded 21:15 in 2016 musk saw an opportunity to 21:19 finally start a relationship with her 21:21 the two were first spotted together in 21:23 Miami and later in Australia confirming 21:26 the rumors that had been swirling for 21:28 months 21:29 by early 2017 they had officially gone 21:32 public attending events together and 21:34 sharing romantic moments on social media 21:37 musk and herd's relationship was 21:39 passionate but 21:40 tumultuous musk who had a history of 21:43 becoming deeply invested in 21:44 relationships quickly was reportedly 21:47 head over heels for herd he showered her 21:50 with lavish gifts including expensive 21:52 trips and financial support when she 21:54 needed it however their personalities 21:57 clashed and their relationship became a 22:00 cycle of intense romance followed by 22:02 heated arguments by August 22:05 2017 their Whirlwind love affair came to 22:08 an end sources close to the couple cited 22:11 their demanding schedules and 22:13 conflicting Lifestyles as the main 22:15 reasons for the split musk was 22:17 heartbroken revealing in an interview 22:20 that he had been deeply in love and that 22:22 the breakup hit him hard despite their 22:24 initial separation the two rekindled 22:27 their relationship later that year 22:29 attempting to give love another chance 22:32 but their fundamental differences 22:34 remained and by early 2018 they had 22:37 broken up for good musk later admitted 22:39 that while he still cared for herd their 22:42 relationship had been too difficult to 22:44 sustain Grimes a relationship of 22:47 intellectual bonding and 22:50 eccentricity after his rocky 22:52 relationship with

Grimes known 23:39 for her avantgard music and artistic 23:42 eccentricities seemed like an odd match 23:44 for the billionaire 23:46 entrepreneur however they bonded over 23:49 their shared love for technology 23:51 futurism and intellectual debates unlike 23:55 musk's previous relationships which had 23:57 largely been rooted in traditional 23:59 romance his relationship with Grimes had 24:02 a

reconnaissance aircraft the unusual name 24:42 reflected their shared vision for the 24:44 future and their willingness to defy 24:47 convention despite their strong 24:49 intellectual connection
