Justine Musk’s Ex-Husband, Children, and Relationships

Justine was married to the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, in 2000. She met Elon when they were a University student.

In the beginning, it was Elon who approached her. After developing a liking for her, Elon asked her to join him for ice cream.

When Justine declined the offer, he came to meet her with two dripping chocolate chip ice cream.

Elon was head over heels for her. So, even when he transferred to Wharton, he sent roses and letters to Justine.

They were still together until graduation. However, after graduation, Justine and Elon went their separate ways. Justine moved to Japan, and Elon became busy starting his startups.

Despite not being together for some time, they started dating again after Justine returned from Japan.

The couple then got married in 2000 and stayed together for eight years before calling it quits.

During their eight years of marriage, they gave birth to six sons. Their first son was Nevada, born in 2002, who died just after ten weeks because of sudden infant death syndrome.

After losing their firstborn, the couple took the help of the invitro and gave birth to their twins, Griffin and Xavier.

After having two sons, the couple again got pregnant through in-vitro and gave birth to their triplets, Damian, Saxon, and Kai.

Though Elon spoiled Justine with his flowers, letters, and even a credit card to buy as many books as she liked, Justine always felt suffocated in their relationship. So, they got a divorce in 2008 with joint child custody.

Years later, she wrote an article titled I Was a Starter Wife, where she mentioned that her marriage with Elon was toxic. She shared that Elon would pressure her to dye her hair blonde, belittle her, and even discourage her from following her passion for writing.

It seems like she still has a great relationship with Elon’s family members including his sisters Tosca Musk, and Alexandra Musk, and his brother Kimbal Musk.

Education

Justine has not shared anything about her early education. However, she shared that she has a degree in English literature from Queen’s University in Ontario.

Career and Writing

The famous writer started her career as a teacher just after graduating from college.

After graduation, she moved to Japan to teach English as a second language (ESL).

She taught there for some time before moving to the USA. In the USA, she settled in California and started her journey as an author.

Her first book BloodAngel was published in 2005 and was a success. The success of her first book gave her the confidence to write her second book, Uninvented, in 2007. The following year, she also published Lord of Bones, a sequel to her first book.

Besides writing books, Justine also wrote many short stories as a part of short story collections.
