@enmodo @dangillmor Justine Musk, his first wife, is an intelligent and empathic woman. She wrote "I Was a Starter Wife" for Marie Claire, and has also referenced a number of articles, though I can't find them off the top of my head, about how the suddenly wealthy will usually decrease in empathy, especially for those who aren't wealthy, as their wealth increases.

@JohannasGarden interesting read, it definitely shows there's more to Elon than meets the eye - was the marriage just a transactional arrangement to him, to pop out babies? I've read there's probably another 10 lil' Musks out there not from wedlock...

After a lot of searching I finally found some references that suggested after the divorce appeal Justine got 10% of SpaceX and $80K a month. I wonder how Talulah faired after her two marriages to Elon?

@JohannasGarden maybe he should just be hiring a 24/7/365 escort(s). But no, I think he wants to feel loved and admired, if he is paying for it he will never feel that way.

Of course he could be in a relationship without being married, and we've heard stories that suggest he engages in polyamorous sexual encounters, so what's his hang up about getting married unless he just treats it as a transaction venture to keep someone around long enough to pop out some more Musks.
