SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has had his fair share of tumultuous relationships including a brief romance with Johnny Depp's ex-wife Amber Heard. Reflecting on his dating life, Musk said that while most of his relationships involved '¡®psychological turmoil¡¯, his time with Amber was ¡®the worst of the lot'. In his latest biography written by Walter Isaacson, he called the relationship 'brutal' and added that even the breakup led to the?'most concentrated period of pain' he had ever endured. If you are wondering why Musk had such harsh remarks about his time with her, let's take a look at how the two began dating.
According to People, Musk actually asked a mutual connection for an introduction to Heard around the time of the 2013 movie?Machete Kills, in which they both made an appearance. Even though the two never shared screen space, Musk sent?emails to the film's director Robert Rodriguez and others?asking for an introduction, sources told?The Hollywood Reporter.
Even after all his alleged attempts the duo didn't really get a formal introduction until 2016. During the defamation trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, the latter alleged that she got acquainted with Musk at the 2016 Met Gala after she got stood up by Depp. And even though Amber was married to Depp during that time, the duo sparked rumours of a secret relationship.
But it was 2017 when Amber actually confirmed their relationship after she shared a photo with Elon where she can be seen rocking a bold red lip and Elon was sporting a lip mark on his cheek. What followed were a few fun months which were filled with the duo being spotted together various times. Both Elon and Amber led extremely busy schedules during that time and had to take out time from their intense work obligations to see each other.
In one incident mentioned in Musk's biography, he recalled how Amber spent two months designing a costume for the popular multi-player shooter game Overwatch's character Mercy to cosplay with him after he mentioned how much the character reminded him of her. Even though all seemed hunky dory, Musk called his time with the Aquaman actress 'brutal' and 'the worst of the lot', while his family said she was 'toxic' and a 'nightmare'.
Almost a year after their relationship rumours went viral, the couple called it quits due to their bust schedules and released a joint statement about the same. But even after the release of that statement, the duo was spotted several times on intimate dates and even shared a kiss goodbye after a romantic date.
But after a few more months, in 2018 the couple called it quits again for the second time. According to a People magazine source, ''Elon decided it was time to end it and Amber agreed.'
Even after the end of their on-again-off-again relationship both Musk and Amber maintained an amicable relationship, barring The SpaceX CEO's remarks in his biography. Elon even said, 'Although Amber and I did break up,?we are still friends, remain close and love one another.'
