In 2010, Elon Musk said he would “rather stick a fork in my hand than write about my personal life”.
Musk got uncharacteristically candid for perhaps the first time in an in-depth Rolling Stone interview by Neil Strauss published in November 2017. He spoke of his break-up with ex-girlfriend Amber Heard, expressing his heartbreak over their parting ways. Musk also touched upon his estranged relationship with his father Errol, calling him a “terrible human being”.
Here’s a look at Elon Musk’s personal life over the years.
