In purchase to get an idea of what kind of temper to foresee from their boss Elon Musk at do the job, Tesla and SpaceX staff members discovered it useful to preserve up with his… intimate partner’s hair coloration. When the Tesla CEO was married to British actress Talulah Riley (from 2010 to 2012 and all over again from 2013 to 2016), for case in point, he appeared much more agreeable when Riley’s hair was a particular shade. He was “happiest when her locks approached platinum,” Tesla employees told writer and Wall Road Journal reporter Tim Higgins.

The element was also involved in a 2018 WSJ report on Musk’s quite possibly problematic temper and temperament. 

Though Musk vehemently denied some areas of the book (calling it “both false and boring”), like an allegedly contentious conversation concerning himself and Apple CEO Tim Prepare dinner, which the two of them mentioned didn’t happen, the revelation about Musk’s odd obsession with his lifetime partner’s hair coloration would seem strong and we had been able to uncover corroboration in other places.

In an essay for Marie Claire in 2010, Musk’s 1st spouse and the mom of his 6 children, Justine Wilson, appeared back again on her own irritation with her ex-husband’s distinct flavor in women’s hair coloration.

“When I 1st fulfilled Elon, I wasn’t blonde…No issue how several highlights I bought, Elon pushed me to be blonder,” she wrote. “‘Go platinum,’ he held declaring, and I saved refusing.”

Wilson also recalled her initially effect of Riley when Musk texted her six months soon after their divorce that he’d been engaged to the the actress. “At minimum she was not blonde. I identified that refreshing,” Wilson wrote.

Wilson explained Riley as “lovely, bright…and far better fitted to my ex-husband’s life-style and character than I ever was.” However, by the conclude of the 2,800-word essay, she noticed, “Although she had darkish hair when she and Elon very first achieved, she is now blonder than I’ve at any time been.”
