In a 2010 article for *Marie Claire*, Justine Musk, Elon Musk's ex-wife and mother of his five children, shared insights into their marriage and financial choices:
- **Financial Agreement**: Two months before their wedding, Elon Musk asked Justine to sign a financial agreement, which he claimed was required by his companyâs board.
- **Trust and Regret**: Justine signed, trusting Elon, but later realized she had waived significant financial rights, leaving her with only their shared home.
- **Musk's Wealth**: After the sale of PayPal in 2002, Elon Muskâs wealth exceeded $100 million, but the agreement left Justine with limited claims.
- **Power Dynamics**: Justine recalls Elon stating, âI am the alpha in this relationship,â emphasizing the pressure she felt.
- **Reflection**: As their marriage ended, Justine reflected on the long-term financial consequences of signing the agreement without fully understanding its impact.
This serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding financial agreements in relationships.
