The book gives particular attention to Musk’s relationship with Heard. Their romance began after Musk developed an interest in Heard upon seeing her in the 2013 film “Machete Kills.” The couple’s first encounter occurred when Heard visited SpaceX a year later. Heard, reflected on this period in the biography, jokingly referring to herself as a “geek” who could also be considered a “hot chick.” During her visit, Musk showcased his interest by taking her for a ride in a Tesla.
The couple went public with their relationship in April 2017, when Heard shared a photo of themselves on Instagram. They experienced moments of closeness and conflict, including a significant argument during a South American vacation in December 2017.
Musk described their relationship as “brutal” and “mind-bogglingly painful.” Despite this, Heard revealed that she still loves Musk “very much,” adding, “Elon loves fire, and sometimes it burns him.” Isaacson’s biography highlights the emotional aspects of Musk’s relationships as well as the psychological turmoil that often accompanies them.
Isaacson asked Musk why he fell for these women, to which Musk responded, "Because I’m just a fool for love. I am often a fool, but especially for love,” according to People magazine.
This sentiment is echoed in Isaacson’s commentary on a podcast with Kara Swisher, where he describes Musk’s relationship with Heard as one of the most painful experiences in Musk’s life, fraught with “storm and turmoil.”
Despite the intensity of their past, Musk and Heard maintain a cordial relationship. Heard affirmed her affection for Musk, and Musk has previously spoken positively about her, emphasizing their continued friendship and mutual respect.
Musk’s attraction to complex relationships extends beyond Heard. He has a history of being drawn to “beautiful, no question, but they have a very dark side.” This pattern is evident in his relationships with both Heard and Grimes, indicating a recurring theme in Musk’s romantic life.
