Elon Musk’s Relationship History: From Talulah Riley to Justine Musk

Elon Musk, the tech billionaire known for his ventures in Tesla, SpaceX, and PayPal, made headlines earlier this year for divorcing actress Talulah Riley for the second time. Musk’s high-profile breakups have been the subject of public scrutiny, with his first divorce from Justine Musk garnering widespread interest.

However, a lesser-known story is how Musk met Riley, as detailed in Ashlee Vance’s book “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future.” After Musk filed for divorce from his first wife in 2008, he found himself in a slump. A trip to London with friend and SpaceX investor Bill Lee proved to be a turning point.

During a night out at a bar in Mayfair, Musk met Riley, who has appeared in films such as “Pride and Prejudice.” Riley recalled their first meeting, noting Musk’s nervousness and her decision to be kind to him. Despite Musk’s fixation on Riley, she initially thought he couldn’t be all that bad.

The story of how Musk and Riley met sheds light on the personal side of the tech mogul, offering a glimpse into the beginnings of their relationship. As Musk navigates another divorce, his past relationships continue to be a topic of interest for the public.
