SpaceX employees say they could tell Elon Musk’s mood by his wife’s hair color
- Elon Musk is known for being moody at times.
-
Some former employees at SpaceX
told The Wall Street Journal they could tell Elon Musk’s
mood based on the hair color of actress Talulah Riley, when
they were married.
Elon Musk has earned a reputation for his humor as well as his
outbursts, which are often chronicled in a series of tweets.
But some of his employees learned to look beyond Twitter to gauge
the tech billionaire’s mood.
In
interviews with The Wall Street Journal, former employees at
Musk’s company SpaceX said they “tried to anticipate his mood by
following the news of his personal life, even tracking the hair
of actress Talulah Riley when she was his second wife,” the
Journal reports.
Senior managers told the Journal they avoided pitching new ideas
or raising issues when Musk was in a bad mood.
They believed Musk was “happiest when her hair color approached
platinum,” according to the Journal.
After his first divorce from a Canadian novelist, Musk began
dating Riley, a British actress who’s best known for her role in
“Westworld.”
They married in 2010. Two years later, news of their divorce
became public when
Musk tweeted: “It was an amazing four years. I will love you
forever. You will make someone very happy one day” at Riley on
Twitter.
The couple remarried in 2013 and divorced again in 2016.
Musk’s stormy personal life has made him a central figure of tech
gossip in recent weeks. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO
recently stopped following pop musician
Grimes — who he’s dated since at least spring — on Twitter.
The two appear to have unfollowed each other on Instagram, as
well. It’s unclear whether the couple is still in
tact.
For what it’s worth, Grimes was last photographed
stepping out with Musk at SpaceX event in July — as a
brunette.
