The Moment Elon Musk's First Wife Knew It Was Over

Benzinga

Elon Musk's relationship with his first wife, Justine Musk, deteriorated as his wealth and expectations increased. Initially supportive of her writing career, Elon began urging changes, starting with her appearance, which led to a loss of intimacy and increasing criticism. A minor car accident became a turning point for Justine, realizing she was more of an accessory than a partner. Upon demanding change, Elon gave her an ultimatum: accept the status quo or leave. He filed for divorce the next morning and was engaged to Tallulah Riley six weeks later.
