Elon Musk Filed for Divorce - Six Weeks Later He Told His Wife He Was Engaged

There are more stories like this one. Subscribe to Dynasty Secrets.    / @dynastysecretsus   Elon Musk and his first wife, Justine, have told the story of their divorce in public since 2010. They still tell it differently. He says he filed in June of 2008, before he ever met the actress Talulah Riley. She says that about six weeks after he filed, a text message told her he was engaged to that actress. The calendar fits both accounts. He met the 22 year old in London that July, and within weeks they were engaged. But the fight that followed turned on something else. Six weeks after their wedding, Justine had signed a paper Elon told her was not a prenup. She spent two years in court trying to break it. And in June of 2010, Tesla's IPO filing told Wall Street exactly what that paper meant for his shares. They met at Queen's University in Canada, where he tracked her down in the student center holding two melting ice cream cones. They married on Saint Martin in January 2000, and the postnuptial agreement was signed in the same spring that his company merged with Confinity to become PayPal. Two years later their first son, Nevada, died at ten weeks old, in the same week eBay offered to buy PayPal. This episode follows both versions of the marriage: her essay, her blog and her interviews, and his public answer in 2010, the biographies by Ashlee Vance and Walter Isaacson, and Tesla's own prospectus. It covers the mediation that kept what was said in that room out of court, the trial of May 2010, the list she asked for, the settlement she got, and why the two of them still disagree, sixteen years later, about who was holding their son when he died. ------------- Welcome to Dynasty Secrets, where we uncover the hidden stories behind the world’s wealthiest families, famous marriages, powerful dynasties, and high-society scandals.
