From Twitter Trysts to Private Jet Romances: Elon and Natasha’s Rollercoaster Ride

Elon Musk’s love life has always been launchpad-level chaotic – think ex-wives, musician muses, and executive entanglements that spawn headlines hotter than re-entry plasma. But enter Natasha Bassett in early 2022, the Sydney-siren actress whose breakout as Elvis Presley’s first flame in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic turned heads from Cannes to the Coachella Valley. Spotted deplaning Musk’s Gulfstream G650ER in L.A., the 27-year-old (to his 50) sparked instant flames. “They’re exclusive, inseparable,” gushed a source back then, as paparazzi caught them canoodling in St. Tropez – her in a breezy Zadig & Voltaire frock, him in his uniform of faded tees and jeans.

The duo’s vibe? Electric. Bassett, with credits from Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar! to a Britney Spears biopic, brought Aussie grit and red-carpet poise to Musk’s orbit. They jetted to film fests, shared quiet dinners at Nobu Malibu, and even bonded over her baking empire – she’s LA’s cookie queen, whipping up lamington-inspired treats that had Elon tweeting, “Down under flavors for an up-over future.” Maye Musk, the silver-fox supermodel matriarch, played wingwoman at Cannes, fueling “soulmate” buzz. “Natasha’s the real deal – grounded, brilliant, and she gets Elon’s chaos,” a pal spilled.

But plot twist: By mid-2022, cracks showed. Musk’s secret twins with Neuralink exec Shivon Zilis leaked, Grimes custody drama simmered, and Bassett bolted to focus on her rising star. “She needed space from the circus,” insiders whispered. They went “on-off” through 2023-2024, per Walter Isaacson’s bio – stolen weekends in Austin, encrypted texts amid Tesla turmoil. Fast-forward to spring 2025: Bassett, now 30 and Oscar-buzzed for an indie thriller, vanishes from sets. Whispers? A hushed Hawaiian vow renewal. Then, boom – baby news drops via Elon’s feed: “Welcome to the world, our little Nova Aurora Bassett-Musk. Born 07/07/25. The future starts now.” No hospital pics, just a starry-eyed selfie of Natasha cradling a swaddled bundle, Elon grinning like he just cracked fusion.

This isn’t kiddo number 14 (or 15, depending on counts) – Musk calls Nova his “first true heir,” the one conceived “the old-fashioned way,” sans IVF empire-building. With 13 known sprogs from Justine Wilson (five surviving), Grimes (three), Shivon (four), and recent flings, Nova’s the romantic wildcard. “It’s poetic – Natasha’s the one who tamed the rocket man,” says a close source.

The $50B Trust: Not Just Diapers and Dinosaurs, But a Galactic Gambit

$50 billion. Let that sink in – it’s more than the GDP of Iceland, enough to fund a Mars colony or buy Twitter (again). Musk didn’t just tweet it; he detailed it in a thread that’s equal parts manifesto and love letter. The irrevocable trust, managed by his family office (hello, Jared Birchall), covers “education, exploration, and existential safeguards” till Nova’s 30, then unlocks for “world-changing pursuits.” Think: Private tutors from MIT, seed cash for her first startup, and a Neuralink implant stipend. “I’ve built empires for humanity,” Elon wrote. “This one’s for her – my spark in the void.”

But dig deeper: This ain’t philanthropy; it’s strategy. Musk’s empire – Tesla ($1.2T valuation), SpaceX ($350B), xAI ($50B) – faces headwinds. SEC probes, Trump-era tariffs, AI ethics scandals. Insiders say the trust is a “legacy lockbox,” shielding assets from divorce vultures or regulatory raids. “Elon’s seen too many billionaires lose half to exes,” a confidant reveals. “Nova’s the clean slate – no co-parenting clauses, full control.” Natasha? She’s all in, trading scripts for co-piloting boardrooms. “She’s his Yoko to his Lennon, but with better pitch decks,” quips a Hollywood exec.

The ripple? Bassett’s stock soars. Her next flick, a sci-fi epic with Timothée Chalamet, just greenlit a sequel. Agents whisper: “Natasha’s the new power couple blueprint – brains, beauty, and a billion-dollar bump.” But skeptics sniff PR ploy. “Elon’s distracting from Cybercab delays,” tweets a rival CEO.

Global Frenzy: Hashtags, Haters, and Hollywood Heartthrobs

The internet? Obliterated. #MuskBabyBillion exploded with 500K posts in day one – memes of Elon as a diapered dad (“To infinity and trust funds!”), fan art of Nova as a mini-astronaut, and thirst traps recapping Bassett’s Elvis glow-up. Grimes subtweets cryptically: “Stars align, then realign. Congrats, E.” Shivon Zilis posts a rocket emoji – shade or solidarity? Australian PM Anthony Albanese jokes in Parliament: “If Nova’s half-Elon, we’ll need more lithium mines Down Under.”

Celeb reactions? A-list avalanche. Ryan Reynolds: “Congrats! Name the kid Deadpool if it’s a boy.” Margot Robbie, Bassett’s compatriot: “Aussie queen takes the throne – sláinte!” Even Bezos chimes in: “Bold move. My yacht’s available for the christening.” But backlash brews. Feminists decry “billionaire breeding,” with #MuskDynasty trending in protest. “One kid gets $50B, while schools starve?” fumes AOC. Tabloids dredge dirt: Is Nova IVF or natural? Bassett’s “breakup glow” in 2023 pics? Musk’s “secret solicitations” for more heirs?

Media meltdown spans continents. The Guardian: “Musk’s Mating Machine Rolls On.” Variety: “From Red Carpet to Rocket Cradle.” Down under, The Sydney Morning Herald hails Bassett as “Oz’s $50B Export.” Wall Street? Tesla shares spike 8% – investors love a “stable genius” narrative.

Legacy Locked: Why This Heir Changes Everything

Beyond the bling, this bombshell spotlights Musk’s master plan: Populate the stars, one trust at a time. With 14+ kids, he’s vocal on birth rates – “Civilization collapses without babies!” – but Nova’s the outlier. “She’s the heart project,” sources say. No eccentric moniker (yet – “Nova” nods to supernovas, naturally), no custody wars. Bassett’s influence? She’s pushing eco-films and AI ethics, softening Elon’s edges. “Natasha humanizes him – less meme lord, more family man.”

Critics call it dynastic delusion. “Elon’s playing god with genes and green,” rails a bioethicist. Yet fans flock: Petitions for “Nova Scholarships” hit 100K signatures. xAI teases “heir-inspired” models – chatbots that bake virtual cookies?

For Bassett, 30 feels like 50 in star years. From Britney Ever After to baby mama extraordinaire, she’s leveled up. “This trust? It’s freedom – for her, for them,” an insider muses. Musk, ever the showman, ends his thread: “Fortune favors the bold. And the bundled.”

Orbit Achieved: What’s Launching Next?

As Nova coos in a Starship-themed nursery, one enigma lingers: Is this the start of Musk’s monogamous era, or just Act I of the sequel? Teasers hint at a family docu-series – “Musk Dynasty: Stars and Strollers.” Till then, raise a Tesla-charged toast: To love that defies gravity, fortunes that fuel dreams, and a kid who’s already richer than nations.
