Summay

Thanks for the role Musk played in the famous movie Iron Man, he started to become more of a public figure. People who sort of knew him as "the PayPal guy" began to think of him as the rich, eccentric businessman behind SpaceX and Tesla. Justine appeared to relish their status even more than Musk. She kept a blog detailng thr couple's family life, which provided a window of opportunity for those who really wanted a peek ubside Musk's psych. However, her blog soon turned into one of Musk's worst nightmare. At the same time, SpaceX's second lunch attempt failed. People in Silicon Valley began to gossip about Musk's money problems.

As his businesses and public persona suffered, Musk's home life degraded as well. In the spring of 2007, their marriage had real issues. By the end of 2007, things got downright nasty. As 2007 rolled into 2008, Musk's life became more tumultuous. On June 16, 2008, Musk filed for divorce. Although they didn't disclose the situation right away, Justine left hints on her blog. Soon enough, the Musks had achieved celebrity divorce status. Justine was upset and struggled to speak about her relation with Musk after years of the settlement.

So Musk tumbled into a deep funk after several weeks of his divorce file. His friend, Lee, wanted to do something to cheer hime up. While they were on the way to the headquarters of Aston Martin, he tried to goad Musk into a night, coaxed Musk into going to a club. Musk met with Riley, a twenty-two-year-old up-and-coming actress, at the club called Whisky Mist, in Mayfair. They immediately zeroed in on each other. Later, Musk proposed to Riley and she accepted.

感想

文中有一段Justine在博文中的描写给我留下深刻的印象

Musk，she said, had hidden many things from her during their marriage and ultimately treated her much like a business adversary to be conquered during the divorce.

" Elon is hard-core. He grew up in a tough culture and tough circumstances. He had to become very tough to not only thrive but to conqure the world."

之前介绍Justine的时候，文笔不多，多集中在Musk身上，而在离婚后，从Justine的博文可以看出，他们之前也并不是那么幸福。难道Musk对他并不是爱吗？要不然怎么能够做到在离婚时把她当作对手仇敌一样对待。Musk的性格，我们到现在已经很了解了。从这里可以看得出他的家庭环境有很大的影响。我很难想象到什么样的人才可以治得了他这样的人。Riley后来也曾说过：" ' Being with me was choosing the hard path.' I didn't quiet undersatnd at tha time, but I do now. It's hard, quiet the crazy ride." 有句话说“一个人的吸引力有多大，破坏力就有多大”，一点不错。越是有魅力的人，深入了解后也许越是觉得难以想象，无法接受。常听人说：找男朋友，一定要看家庭教育。确实如此，有些东西是根深蒂固的，你看不到并不代表不存在。等你真正发现的时候也许会感觉很痛苦。
