Madness and genetics as gods. These are the qualities needed to achieve extreme success, like Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Steve Jobs or Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
This is from the point of view of Elon Musk's ex-wife, Justine Musk, ex-Justine Wilson, who had been married to the Tesla Motors businessman for almost a decade.
Ata që kanë arritur “sukses ekstrem”, thotë Justine, e cila u divorcua nga Elon në 2008, jetojnë ndryshe nga shumica e të tjerëve. “Këta njerëz priren të jenë të çuditshëm dhe të papërshtatshëm që u detyruan ta përjetojnë botën në një mënyrë jashtëzakonisht sfiduese,” shkroi ajo në përgjigje të një pyetjeje në platformën Quora në vitin 2015. “Ata nuk mendojnë ashtu si njerëzit e tjerë. Ata i shohin gjërat nga këndvështrime që hapin ide dhe njohuri të reja. Njerëz të tjerë i konsiderojnë ato disi të çmendura.”
Justine u takua me Elon, i cili është me origjinë nga Afrika e Jugut, si studente në Universitetin Queens në Kingston, Ontario, Kanada, ku ajo ishte duke studiuar letërsi angleze. Dyshja u martuan në vitin 2000. Ata mirëpritën fëmijën e tyre të parë së bashku, djalin Nevada Alexander Musk në vitin 2002, megjithatë, ai vdiq nga sindroma e vdekjes së papritur të foshnjave (SIDS) vetëm në moshën 10 javëshe. Pas humbjes tragjike, të dy kërkuan IVF dhe më vonë mirëpritën djemtë e tyre binjakë Griffin dhe Xavier Musk në prill 2004. Çifti kaloi IVF për herë të dytë, duke mirëpritur trenjakët Kai, Sakson dhe Damian Musk në janar 2006.
Leaving aside marital problems, Justine walked away with a picture of success that many fail to see. One of its highlights is that you should not pursue something simply because you want to become great. "Follow something because it fascinates you, because the pursuit itself engages and forces you," she wrote in Quora. "Extreme people combine brilliance and talent with a * crazy * work ethic, so if the job itself does not push you, you will experience burnout or fall or your extreme competitors will crush you and make you cry. . ”
"Once you find a topic you like, then find a problem. And in your obsessive pursuit to solve that problem, do not expect to have patterns. "You will create your own path," she said.
Forming that path is not all mental; taking care of your body is essential. "It helps to have superhuman energy and endurance. "If you are not blessed with god-like genetics, then decide to be in the best shape possible," Justine wrote. "Keep your body sharp to keep your mind sharp. That's rewarding. "
Following their separation, Musk married actress Talulah Riley in 2010 before divorcing in 2012. However, they remarried in 2014, only to divorce again two years later in 2016.
That same year, Musk began dating Aquaman actress Amber Heard, who has been embroiled in a defamation case with ex-husband Johnny Depp. The two only met for a year before splitting, however, the split was difficult for Space X founder, telling Rolling Stone that he was "really in love and it was bad," in November 2017.
In 2018, Page Six revealed that Musk had begun dating singer and musician Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, before the pair made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala in New York. Together with Grimes, Musk returned to expanding his family and the couple welcomed their son, X Æ A 12 in May 2020, however they later changed his name to X Æ A XII to obey California laws. Proud parents call her "baby x" for short.
Since welcoming their son, the couple's relationship status has been up and down, but they announced the birth of their second child, daughter Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, through a surrogate in December 2021.
The free speech advocate was also rumored to be in a relationship with Australian actress Natasha Bassett. Although Musk's love life is much more public than from his days married to Justine Wilson, the two still share custody of their children, according to People, however, not much is known about where the relationship between ex-parents stands today. . / BM /
