Justine Musk

Elon met his first wife, Justine Musk (née Wilson) when they were both students at Queen's University in Canada. She was an aspiring novelist and he was, well, Elon Musk. When he first asked her out - on an ice cream date - she blew him off with a note on her dorm room door. When he found her later, studying in a common room, he had "two chocolate-chip ice cream cones dripping down his hands." In an essay she penned for Marie Claire following their messy divorce, Justine wrote, "He's not a man who takes no for an answer."
