Elon Musk’s complicated love life has grown to be as significant a source of interest as his business interests, according to reports that the controversial tech billionaire is the father of 13 children born to four different women.
And despite much still being known about what actually happens in each romance of Musk’s, he has previously uncovered some insight into his romantic ties to Aquaman actress Amber Heard, 38, who he first met after seeing her in the 2013 action thriller Machete Kills.
In 2016, Musk and Amber struck up a friendship at the Met Gala, after Amber’s then husband Johnny Depp , apparently stood her up. I was standing in line in front of a gentleman, as she would later recall during her high profile defamation trial. It was Elon. I didn’t recognize him until we started talking. He has brought up the fact that we’ve already spoken while he was with his mother.
Before 2017, however, the pair had no idea what would turn out to be a difficult legal disentanglement until Amber filed for divorce from Johnny. Futher details emerged in Walter Isaacson’s 2023 authorised biography of Musk, titled Elon Musk, which delves into the SpaceX CEO’s year-long on-off romance with Amber.
Not mincing his words, Musk described his relationship with Amber as “brutal” in the book. The busy couple’s hectic work schedules forced their blossoming relationship to fit in their busy schedules in the beginning. Musk made sure to fly over to Australia to join her on Aquaman’s set while Amber flew out to the Tesla factory in California to surprise him on his birthday.
Both men were drawn to nerd culture, with Amber even spending “two months designing and commissioning a head-toe costume for Musk,” after learning she had inspired him to play his favorite Overwatch character, Mercy, who has the ability to heal and resurrect. Amber jokingly admitted to being a geek for someone who can also be called a hot chick when talking about her geeky side with Isaacson.
There were however a few ups and downs, and those close to Musk harboured doubts about the couple, with Musk’s brother Kimbal claiming that Amber was “toxic” and “a nightmare”. Meanwhile, Musk, 53, said: “I’m just a fool for love. I am often a fool, but especially for love”.
Additionally, the book provides details of Musk and Amber having a heated argument while they were visiting his family’s house in South Africa.
Although they initially appeared to have a lot in common, reality eventually interfered, and less than a year later, due to their busy schedules, the two eventually broke up. In the book, Elon claims he endured “18 months of unrelenting insanity” that was “mind-bogglingly painful”.
Any drama, however, would seem to be in the past because the pair haven’t had much positive feedback from each other in the intervening years. In the biography, Amber shared: “I love him very much. Elon loves fire, and sometimes it burns him”.
Meanwhile, at the time of the split, Musk took to Instagram, telling followers: “Although Amber and I did break up, we are still friends, remain close and love one another. Who knows what the future holds in long-distance relationships when both partners have demanding work obligations?
In her own public break-up announcement, Amber shared that she was experiencing “difficult, very human times”, emphasising that she and Musk “care deeply for one another and remain close”. Getting candid with followers, she wrote: “Being in the public eye means having to explain yourself to so many people, so much of the time. In this case, I’d like to remain more quiet”.
After Amber’s ex-boyfriend, Johnny, claimed she had cheated on him with Elon, the pair had started dating in March 2016, just one month after their wedding day, things got complicated. In legal depositions the following year, it was also claimed that Musk and model Cara Delevingne had a threesome.
Musk has denied both these accusations, telling Page Six: “Cara and I are friends, but we’ve never been intimate. She would confirm this. I want to confirm once more that Amber and I only started dating about a month after her divorce filing. I don’t believe I ever met Amber at the wedding.”
