Elon Musk — the billionaire behind Tesla, SpaceX, and X (Twitter) — has once again set the internet on fire with a brutally honest statement about love and marriage.
In a quote spreading rapidly online, Musk allegedly said:
“I can never make the mistake of getting married. If I marry any woman, she will surely leave me to take half of my wealth.”
While this statement hasn’t been officially verified, it has sparked massive debate across social media, with many arguing that Musk has simply voiced an uncomfortable truth about life among the super-rich — where love often collides with money and power.
💔 Three Marriages, Three Lessons
In reality, Elon Musk has been married three times — once to Canadian author Justine Wilson, and twice to British actress Talulah Riley. All three ended in divorce, sometimes accompanied by financial disputes. It’s no wonder the world’s richest man has become increasingly skeptical about marriage.
In an old Business Insider post, Musk admitted that he always took great care to sign post-nuptial agreements to protect his companies and personal assets. That shows he’s not necessarily cynical — just coldly realistic, in true “Musk” fashion.
💬 Social Media Divided
On X (Twitter), thousands of users have weighed in:
-
“He’s not wrong — when you’re that rich, how can you ever know who truly loves you?”
-
“Not all women are like that! Musk is projecting his trauma onto everyone else.”
Others defended him, suggesting that Musk might have been half-joking, highlighting how risky marriage can be for ultra-wealthy men.
🚀 Rich, Lonely — and Too Smart for Love?
Despite being one of the most powerful men alive, Elon Musk has often spoken about loneliness. In one interview, he confessed, “I don’t want to die alone.” Yet statements like this make many believe that Musk has emotionally isolated himself in order to protect his fortune.
True or not, the viral quote reflects a deeper fear within Musk — the fear of being loved for his money, not for who he really is.
👉 In the End:
Amid all the glory, billions of dollars, and world-changing ambitions, Elon Musk still seems to be searching for something money can’t buy — a love untouched by wealth.
Perhaps for the world’s richest man, marriage really is the biggest mistake he could ever make.
