This Is What Elon Musk’s Exes Have Said About Him
Elon’s first wife, Justine Wilson, is a Canadian author. The two were married between 2000 to 2008. According to Your Tango, Justine quickly realized after dating him that Musk doesn’t take no for an answer.
“He invited me out for ice cream. I said yes, but then blew him off with a note on my dorm-room door,” she wrote. Justine later saw him at her student center. “Elon was smiling awkwardly, two chocolate-chip ice cream cones dripping down his hands. He’s not a man who takes no for an answer.”
As Elon’s fortune grew, he started becoming a narcissistic person. “I am the alpha in this relationship,” he told Justine as they danced at their wedding.
When their 10-day-old son Nevada died due to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), Elon became emotionally unavailable. “Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada’s death,” she wrote. “I didn’t understand this, just as he didn’t understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as ‘emotionally manipulative.’”
Justine also mentioned that the SpaceX founder pressured her to turn blonde. “No matter how many highlights I got, Elon pushed me to be blonder. ‘Go platinum,’ he kept saying, and I kept refusing.”

When the South African business tycoon was accused of being a men’s rights activist, Grimes defended his actions.
“He’s not. Def he’s been very immature at points on Twitter but for ex the president of SpaceX is a woman, as is his right hand at Neuralink etc,” she wrote.
Grimes has also said that Elon does not live like a rich person. “Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line,” she said. “To the point where I was like, can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house?”
