Mom Of 5 Says He Was Willing To Give Up

Justine Musk, Elon Musk's first wife and the mother of his five children, has a lot to say about her life with the man who's now one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the world. From their early days in college to the ups and downs of their relationship, she doesn't hold back in a talk titled "Visionaries are People Who Can See in the Dark" at the TEDxUIUC conference. Don't Miss: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement — How do you compare? I met him when I was 18. He was 19," she says. They crossed paths in college, where Elon was already showing the determination he's now known for. "He would call me up and ask me out, and I would say no. And it went on like this until we ended up living together." Trending: Founder of Personal Capital and ex-CEO of PayPal re-engineers traditional banking with this new high-yield account — start saving better today. They started small, sharing an apartment with three roommates and a dachshund that, as she put it, "was not house trained." Later, even after they'd made it big and moved into a mansion in Bel Air, she jokes, "The dachshund still was not house trained." Justine shares moments like these, reminding us that even as they climbed to the top, some things just didn't change. Elon's personality? She remembers that too. While many see him as this larger-than-life character, she recalls, "He always put ‘engineer' on forms instead of ‘CEO.'" And his wardrobe? Pretty much jeans and T-shirts. Even when a stylist tried to update his look, he would say, "I can't look cool or hip because I have to look like an engineer."
