Amber Heard & Elon have a ‘casual relationship’, likely friends-with-benefits

The Art of Elysium presents Stevie Wonder's HEAVEN

Yesterday, Page Six was the first to report that Amber Heard and Elon Musk went on what appeared to be a date. They apparently went to an A-list screening of Al Gore’s latest documentary. As I said yesterday, Elon Musk and Amber seem to have been circling each other for the better part of a year. My take is the Elon had been infatuated with her for years, and once she filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, Elon saw his opening and began pursuing her, but he’s sticking to her time table. Well, People Magazine confirmed that Elon and Amber’s date night did happen, and Us Weekly provided some additional dirt about the state of Elon and Amber’s relationship. Hint: they aren’t really boyfriend-girlfriend, but they’re probably banging.

Despite past romance rumors, Elon Musk and Amber Heard have a “casual” relationship, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.

“They continue to see each other and hang out from time to time when they are in the same city. It is nothing new,” the insider tells Us. “He is too busy doing things like building a tunnel under L.A. and sending people into space to seriously pursue anyone.”

Earlier this week, the actress, 30, and the well-known tech billionaire and entrepreneur, 45 — who cofounded PayPal and other companies — reportedly accompanied one another to a screening of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth Sequel: Truth to Power in Palo Alto, California, according to the New York Post’s Page Six.

“Call it what you want,” adds the source. “But they hang out and casually see each other whenever time permits.”

Is Amber his beck-and-call girl or is Elon her beck-and-call guy? She seems to travel a lot and so does he. He’s already been married and divorced a few times and he’s probably, hopefully not eager to jump into another marriage. I doubt Amber is eager to get married again as well. So, they’re both adults, he’s rich and she’s beautiful and they probably bang whenever they’re in the same city. Friends with benefits, f–k buddies, whatever you want to call it. I’m not judging. I hope they’re both having fun.

As for people saying he’s a Trump supporter… well, yes and no. Elon has said some weird sh-t about Trump in the past few months, most of which boils down to “let’s see what Trump actually does as president.” I also think that even the most progressive CEOs and high-flying business types are sort of shocked by the way Wall Street has rallied behind Emperor Baby Fists and those people are trying to figure out the next course of action, whether it’s resistance or leaning in to the autocracy in the hopes that they become the new American oligarchs in Trump’s Russian-style kleptocracy.

    They are both cliches. He’s with her because she is a basic blonde Barbie type trophy that boost his pathetic “alpha male” image / ego and she is with him for his money. Typical LA arrangement. So shallow.

    • six says:

      I don’t think Amber goes for money per se. I think she is much more interested in power, influence, status, privilege and FAME. Money often comes with those things, and it’s nice to have.

      This appears to be a leak that comes from Heard herself. It reminds me so much of the stories which were circulating during her first years with her ex. Somehow we we were always kept informed of the status of their relationship (that they had broken up, gotten back together because he woed her with poems, that she had gotten married but that she was still an independent woman, that she didn’t need him like his exes did, etcetera etcetera. Just look up the archives on Heard here on CB and you will find all those stories).

      Now why this story about Heard and Musk being in a casual relationship? My guess is that they are definitely dating, but that Musk doesn’t want to go public (yet), or not as public as she wants them to be. This is her way of putting pressure on him. Advertising herself as semi-single, available for another relationship if he doesn’t commit publicly. Very interesting.

    Friends with benefits? Makes me think that befriending one of them comes with dental insurance or 10% off at Starbucks.

  3. Monic says:

    Have fun girl!!

    *I forgot, read several comments yesterday about Elon speaking about his GIRLFRIEND in a speech the past month and it’s true, the speech is in YouTube
    Maybe he should read the rules: if they’re fuck buddies not the same than girlfriend and boyfriend :/

  4. Donna says:

    Their whatever it is has toxic written all over it.

    • detritus says:

      I’m with you on this. She’s just gotten out of a controlling and abusive relationship, now is not the time for someone who needs to be the dominant partner in all things.

      Some people have an attraction to personality types that can be dangerous. Amber seems like that type of person unfortunately.

  5. Jerkface says:

    I never want to know what his O face looks like. Good grief *gag*

    • detritus says:

      You are SUCH a Jerkface, why would you put that image in my mind!? herk

      • Jerkface says:

        Lmao I sincerely apologize. Think of puppies and rainbows and have a happy Friday 🐶🐻🍻😊

  6. Trixie says:

    I respect the hell out of Elon Musk for what he’s accomplished, but that doesn’t stop me from cringing at how much of a starf-cker he is.

  7. Adrien says:

    The two should venture into some fragrance business and tie up with Jovan. Actually, there is already a line of bed and bath fragrance called Amber Musk.

  8. QueenB says:

    “He is too busy doing things like building a tunnel under L.A. and sending people into space to seriously pursue anyone.”

    lol that has to be the funniest reason for a casual relationship. “Sorry Baby I cant commit, I’m busy building a tunnel under L.A.”

    • Colleen says:

      That made me giggle a little also when I read it.

    • detritus says:

      He’s sounding more and more like a super villain.

      What are we doing tonight Brain? Trying to conquer the world!
      Except Heard doesn’t even get to be Pinky in this scenario.

  9. Clare says:

    Oh boy, she really has a type – filthy rich, arrogant, abusive to women.

    If she were my friend I’d tell her she’s suffered enough and to try and connect with a ‘normal’ dude/lady, who doesn’t have a history of abusive behaviour.

    • detritus says:

      Ding ding ding! This exactly.

      I have a friend like this, Amber reminds me of her SO much. It took me three boyfriends to convince my friend that being pursued after she said no meant he didn’t respect her boundaries, not that he was REALLY into her. It took dating someone with NPD to break her out of it.

  10. Hum says:

    Maybe it is casual and they are just having fun when they have time together, but his mother following Amber at her private Instagram seems a little bit more serious than friends with benefits

  11. Shambles says:

    If you’re going to be friends with benefits with someone, why wouldn’t you choose someone who’s just beefy and dirty and sexy? Like a Chris Evans or a Hemsworth type? Idk, I don’t find this dude attractive at all.

    • Routh says:

      Money.

      • Ankhel says:

        Money, yes, and the ego stroke from being singled out, among all the models and actresses, by a very rich and influential man.

    • ell says:

      tbf, i don’t find those 2 dudes you mentioned attractive at all, and they would never be my dirty and sexy partner of choice. i’d probably pick a musician, like idk, alex turner.

      that said, she does have bad taste when it comes to men. her girlfriends were all far more attractive.

      • Shambles says:

        Lol I don’t really find them attractive either, I was just trying to think of someone I see as having more muscle than brains. That seems like it would be a good friends with benefits type. My particular choice would be someone like Jason Momoa or Cary Fukunaga.

    • Bridget says:

      I’m actually surprised it’s not a woman.

    • hmm says:

      Honestly, I hardcore have the hots for Elon Musk, even though I know that logically he is terrible to his partners. It has NOTHING to do with money. It has to do with his ridiculous drive and ambition and desire to change the world — and the fact that he is actually DOING it. That is insanely attractive. I don’t think it is fair to automatically say it is the money for Amber.

  12. Laura says:

    Didn’t I read on Lainey Gossip that Depp is building tunnels that connect all his houses? She has a thing for guys with tunnels. I feel like there’s some sort of witty and/or inappropriate joke there that I’m too tired to come up with.

  13. Barrett says:

    He looks “off” and from what I read ab him he has treated his exes bad and oddly.

    Amber has a bad relationship / friends w benefits picker. She and “Katy Perry” should just get into a relationship to save themselves from themselves!!!!!

  14. Alexandria says:

    I actually think it’s great. If I’m either one of them, I’d also not want a serious relationship. Elon Musk is a busy man and his time is money and he probably knows he’s not the best bf or husband material (something like Leo). Amber just ended it with an abuser. So just hang out. Don’t we need companionship once in a while? Why is it toxic IF both know what they’re in for? Sometimes it can be easier without expectations. Of course if one is expecting more, then it would be toxic.

  15. Cindy C. says:

    Dude is so ugly !! I would want some serious benefits to hang with Quasimodo !😅😅

  16. Beth says:

    I’ve only had one friends with benefits relationship and figured it was no big deal and wouldn’t hurt when it was over. It shattered my heart when I fell in love with him and he didn’t fall for me. My guy was gorgeous, but Elon is ugly! She must be with him for money

  17. Donna says:

    Elon is cute and intriguing in his way.But a definite power type with a Underlying casual warmness that would be so cozy. Just my impression.

  18. silliness says:

    It’s not the money. She’s into more mature, brainy men. Depp pretended to be deeper than he was, but there’s no denying Elon is a genius.

    And considering this guy’s been pursuing her in whatever way he could get close to her (even befriending Depp at one point), I highly doubt it’s her doing it to put pressure on him to go public, since her profile would suffer more from their relationship becoming public (yeah, remember “gold digger” being thrown around when she wanted to get out of an abusive marriage?). The rumors and sightings of them dating have been around for months. This was put out there to shut everyone up, acknowledging that they hang out in a very casual way.

    • six says:

      I respectfully disagree. Amber Heard needs Elon Musk to go public with her as a couple, because it is the shortest way back to respectability and the possibility of rebuilding her career in Hollywood. With her it is, and always was, about FAME and status. That’s not to say that she couldn’t also be crazy about him, but she always has her eye firmly on the prize.

    • Sarah says:

      Meh.She’s Hardly some educated brainy member of the intellgensia herself even by Hollywood standards. She likes to talk about herself as brainy but I have not seen much evidence.
      I think Depp was just her level. He also likes to pretend he’s an intellectual. She might be impressed by his achievements and wealth though.

    • She has a type says:

      Tasya, Depp, Elon i can see the type. Older, admired and intellectual (Depp pretended to be an intellectual which she likely believed the first year, because she was so young)

      She wouldn’t date a Mr. Muscles or a fashion model. Her exes talk about her as a brilliant smart woman. Her own ego to be considered a young intelligent woman flatters every time a brilliant man or woman put his eyes on her and of all the beatiful women in Hollywood Elon Musk, the man who wants to colonize Mars, put his eyes on HER. She must be feeling great and not reading the warning signals (again!)

      • Don't hit the ducks says:

        So she believed Depp was an intellectual only in the beginning (2009?) yet stayed with him for YEARS?

    • Don't hit the ducks says:

      “yeah, remember “gold digger” being thrown around when she wanted to get out of an abusive marriage”

      It was being thrown around because she asked for spousal support among other things.
