Amber Heard? Yes, you heard it right. After the divorce from his second wife, Musk was seen publicly with Amber Heard. This was after her abusive divorce from Johnny Depp.
Amber and Musk’s relationship was brief and lasted a year and they seem to remain friends. Reports suggest that Musk honored Amber’s pledged payments to the ACLU that were supposed to be paid by her using her divorce settlement from Depp. Looks like an easy way out huh?
Under questioning, Elon Musk girlfriend Amber revealed that Musk made some payments in her name. During her long and embarrassing court trial, Musk was missing in action and was not called to testify even once.
Later, Elon Musk was found tweeting that he hoped they would both ‘move on’ and also wrote ‘At their best, they are both amazing,’ at the end of the trial.
