see the interview with his first wife:
As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, "I am the alpha in this relationship." I shrugged it off, just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement, but as time went on, I learned that he was serious.
...the will to compete and dominate that made him so successful in business did not magically shut off when he came home. This, and the vast economic imbalance between us, meant that in the months following our wedding, a certain dynamic began to take hold. Elon's judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. "I am your wife," I told him repeatedly, "not your employee." "If you were my employee," he said just as often, "I would fire you."
And no matter how many highlights I got, Elon pushed me to be blonder. "Go platinum," he kept saying, and I kept refusing.
If that's how he managed his wife imagine what his execs deal with.

- JustSomeNobody 8y agoThat is a textbook abusive relationship. Pathetic.
- dethstar 8y agoWell, the guy claims he needs to be in a relationship to be happy. Not the healthiest thing. >If I'm not in love, if I'm not with a long-term companion, I cannot be happy," he told Rolling Stone. "I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me. It's not like I don't know what that feels like: Being in a big empty house, and the footsteps echoing through the hallway, no one there -- and no one on the pillow next to you. F--. How do you make yourself happy in a situation like that?" https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/elon-musk-personal-life-love-relationship-wife-marriage-happy-talulah-riley-a8058611.html https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/elon-musk-personal-...
- stochastic_monk 8y agoSounds vaguely like Sauron. “Will to dominate all life.”

- shawn 8y agoCelebrity gossip is probably out of scope. But: - Personal lives aren't really a reflection of how someone runs a business. - He filed for divorce before starting a new relationship. If he'd done worse, presumably we'd be reading about it. That says a lot about his character. - For his childrens' sake, it's probably better to live independent and stable lives rather than fighting constantly. - HN is growing large enough that Elon might want to start posting here (as he does on Twitter), so it's probably not too helpful to incite a crowd into jeering at one side of a story.
