A lot of speculation has been doing the rounds about the alleged relationship between Amber Heard and Elon Musk. Many people have put forth the claim that the two were dating for a period of time back in 2017, which, if true, would be some seriously star-studded news. Even though many outlets have reported on this news, no official confirmation has been received from either star. However, there is a lot of evidence which either proves or, at least, suggests that the two were very much in a relationship. Here, we will be looking at the evidence and hear out perspectives from experts to ultimately determine if Elon Musk and Amber Heard were, indeed, dating.
As per a report in New York Times, Amber and Elon were seen together “on and off” for the year of 2017. They would frequently be seen together at different places, and even attended the Met Gala together—a ball that’s usually invitation-only. The two were also seen together at a Mozart in the Jungle performance, and Amber was invited to the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod competition, organized by Elon.
Furthermore, multiple sources revealed that their relationship wasn’t just limited to flattery and attending events. Reports informed that Elon gave Amber rides in his Tesla, and she even stayed over at his house with her beloved teacup poodle, Pistol. Moreover, several insiders hinted that the two had even gone on vacation together.
In discussions on the relationship, psychologists have contended that it could very well be a case of rebound for Elon. Amber dated Johnny Depp before Elon, and it depicts the possibility that Elon might have been going through a rough patch in his life, filled with a feeling of emptiness, and perhaps proved to be a kind of distraction for him during the phase.
The two, however, parted ways soon, and there is much debate still over what caused the cause a drift between the two. Some people claim it was because Elon wasn’t observing the same degree of commitment which Amber was expecting and desired. His busy schedule and stressing workload might have added too much pressure to the relationship and caused it to deteriorate. Meanwhile, other people claim that it was Amber who decided to end the relationship in order to have some space from the relationship, as it was getting very serious with Elon.
Despite their breakup, many find it to be an inspiring relationship and conclude that for a brief moment in time, these two powerful and inspiring individuals found love in each other. Suspicious cameras have also revealed that Amber still keeps in contact with Elon. Even though both of them have never officially addressed the matter of their relationship, the rumors continue to swirl around.
The ‘Netizens’ Perspective
Many ‘netizens’ have shared their opinions regarding the relationship of the two on social media. While the majority affirms the rumors and asserts that the two were definite a couple, some still contend that it was just a cheap publicity act and was blown out of proportion by the tabloids. People claim they were part of a ‘showmance’, and that the two were together just to get more coverage in the press.
Despite the varied opinions, people are generally happy that the two found each other, and some even think of them as being a power couple, given the astounding career achievements of both of them. It has been a matter of great respect for many, even for those who still deny the possibility of a relationship.
The Impact of the Possible Relationship
If this rumored relationship is confirmed to be true, it could have a major impact on the lives of both stars. For one thing, it could be an opportunity for the two of them to explore their mutual admiration and possibly start anew. On the other hand, it could also paint their individual public images in a different way. As Amber is already entangled in a legal battle, this could be cause for some more attention and make it a long drawn out case.
Experts gauge that the case of Amber and Elon might open up a path for young stars to make strong statements against sexual harassment and abuse. Even though both of them have been quite private about the whole matter, if what people are saying turns out to be true, then it can create a strong impact in the society, with people from all walks of life standing up for themselves, and everyone else against the injustice.
The Relationship of the Two on Professional Front
Many people have argued that the two were involved in a professional relationship as well as a romantic one. With a shared interest in environmental sustainability, it was almost a certainty that the two would actively collaborate on many projects together. Rumors suggest that the duo was working on various projects together, particularly to propagate technology and make the world a better place.
However, nothing came out of those alleged endeavours, as the two decided to part ways midway due to personal conflicts. Moreover, the situation remains unchanged even after the split and the two clearly prefer to remain distant, at least on personal grounds. Experts agree that the outcome of those two professionals teaming up together could have yielded great results, alas, that could now remain just a dream.
A Gesture of Support from Elon
What surprised many onlookers was Elon’s gesture of support for Amber as she completed her legal battle with Johnny Depp. When the court ordered Amber to pay $7,000,000 as settlement, Elon made a donation in her name to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to benefit victims of domestic abuse.
Some people believed it to be an indirect sign of his support and acknowledgment, validating the authenticity of the rumors of their relationship. As the situation stands now, Elon is married to musician Grimes and living a peaceful life, while Amber has been talking about her “self-partnered” status.
Discussion Regarding the Couple’s Privacy
Ever since the rumors started to stir, both the celebrities refrained from say anything about the rumors, with neither Amber nor Elon opening their mouth on their alleged relationship. However, there have been debates on whether or not it is adequate for them to remain silent on the matter.
Those advocating that they should remain silent argue that it is their prerogative how much they wish to reveal and that it is inappropriate for the public to dictate them on the same. On the other hand, those who want the couple to speak out argue that it is only appropriate and fair for the public to get information about something which has become a matter of discussion.
Unanswered Questions
No matter how good the evidence might be, the fact remains that neither of the two stars has officially addressed the speculation surrounding them. With many questions left unanswered and no statements from the couple, there is no concrete evidence to solidify the claim that Amber and Elon were involved in a relationship.
People are eager to hear from the couple on this topic, and some believe that if it is true, then speaking out about the whole matter might do both of them a world of good, as it might help them break through their shyness and insecurities, and let their hearts find solace in each other. For the moment though, it can only be taken as it is—just a rumor.
