In a 2010 article for Marie Claire, Justine Musk, Elon Musk’s ex-wife, shared her experiences regarding their marriage and the financial agreement she signed before their wedding. Just two months before they married, Elon presented the document, framing it as a requirement from his company’s board and assuring her it wasn’t a prenuptial agreement. Trusting him, Justine signed without fully understanding its implications, ultimately giving up most of her financial rights, including claims to community property aside from their home. As Elon’s wealth grew, particularly after eBay acquired PayPal in 2002, the economic gap between them widened significantly. Justine described their luxurious lifestyle, including a large estate in Bel Air and private jet travels. However, as their marriage progressed, she felt increasingly sidelined and pressured by Elon’s dominant role, highlighted by his assertion of being “the alpha” in their relationship.
