Despite his public persona, Musk revealed his deep need for love and companionship. "If I'm not in love, if I'm not with a long-term companion, I cannot be happy," he said. Musk expressed his desire for a serious relationship, emphasizing that he is not looking for a one-night stand but a soulmate.
The interview also highlighted Musk's disdain for turtlenecks, a fashion choice popularized by Steve Jobs. Musk humorously stated, "If I was dying and I had a turtleneck on, with my last dying breath, I would take the turtleneck off and try to throw it as far away from my body as possible."
Musk's candidness about his personal life and emotional struggles provides a more humanized view of the tech titan, showing that behind the groundbreaking innovations and public achievements lies a person who, like everyone else, seeks love and connection.
