Millionaire PayPal founder Elon Musk’s wife has filed for divorce … TMZ has learned.
The British “Pride and Prejudice” actress — named Talulah Riley — filed the papers on January 17th, citing “irreconcilable differences” … one day before Musk publicly announced the couple’s split on Twitter.
In a telephone interview with Forbes on the 18th, Musk — worth a reported $680 million — made it sound as though he was the driving force behind the divorce, claiming, “I still love her, but I’m not in love with her. And I can’t really give her what she wants.”
The Forbes headline reads, “Elon Musk to Divorce Wife” — but clearly, Talulah beat him to the punch. So far, Elon has NOT filed divorce documents.
It’s unclear who truly wished to end the relationship, or whether it was a mutual decision. {tmz.com}
This certainly puts an interesting spin on things!

This is good on Talulah’s part. I feel bad for her but I had a feeling that she would be screwed over by Elon. At least she filed the papers first. I doubt that the two will remain friends since Elon’s tweeting about it must have been mightily humiliating for Talulah. Sadly she hasn’t shown up on twitter at all for a while and I hope Elon doesnt ruin twitter for her. She’s a great actress and seems like a genuine person too. Even Justine Musk said that Talulah was good to the bone and I truly believe that about Talulah. Screw Elon Musk. Apparently a few of his family members have tweeted Talulah as well about the divorce. Hopefully Talulah has enough class to not tweet about it at all. Best of everything to her. She’ll be okay hopefully.
