In a recent statement making waves online, Elon Musk shared candid insights into his past relationship with actress Amber Heard. Known for his groundbreaking ventures and business acumen, Musk revealed a rather unexpected side to his personal life, intertwining romance with finance.
“When my ex, Amber Heard, and I broke up, I brought her a receipt of everything I ever did for her, and she paid it back in full. I’m very stingy with ladies,” Musk remarked.
According to Musk, Amber had a penchant for extravagant spending during their time together. From lavish purchases to generous donations in her name, she reportedly enjoyed the benefits of Musk’s wealth. Yet, he clarified that his meticulous nature as a businessman extended to their relationship. “I documented everything I spent on her—every single dime. Even my emotions don’t mingle with my business,” Musk admitted.
Perhaps the most startling revelation was Musk’s claim about his decision to buy Twitter, now rebranded as X. “I didn’t buy Twitter for political or business reasons; I bought it for Amber Heard. I wanted to give it to her as a Valentine’s Day gift. But she broke up with me before Valentine’s when she found a new boyfriend on Twitter,” he explained.
The aftermath of their breakup took an unexpected turn. Musk reportedly banned Heard from Twitter and offered a job at Tesla to her new partner, who later ended their relationship as well. The twist? “I had her sign a document before we started dating, agreeing to repay any money I spent on her if we didn’t end up together,” Musk revealed. True to his word, he presented her with the receipts, and she repaid him in full.
Musk concluded his reflections with a touch of humor and self-awareness. “I guess that’s why I’m still single,” he quipped, alluding to his “stingy” approach to relationships.
This unique glimpse into Musk’s private life highlights how his pragmatic, business-oriented mindset influences even his most personal decisions—a testament to the unorthodox life of one of the world’s most fascinating billionaires.
