Elon’s brother, Kimbal Musk, called their relationship ‘Toxic’ and ‘ A Nightmare’ in the billionaire’s biography. According to Marca, Musk allegedly hired private investigators to keep a watch on Heard’s movements while she was filming in Australia because he was worried about her loyalty.

3/5

Kanye West

Kanye West, who is infamous for his anti-semitic tweets and racial behaviour, has been friends with Elon Musk for over a decade. Met at the SpaceX Rocket Factory, they have been time and time again proved their friendship.

With Musk’s support, Kanye even desired to be the POTUS. In 2022, Musk bought Twitter (now X) after Kanye was banned for making anti-semitic remarks. The friendship might be on the test after Kanye has been called out constantly for his tweets and the gestures on the platform.

However, West’s account was banned again after the Nazi tweet by Elon, where he publically declared that his account will be suspended. However, Kanye lashed out, stating who made Musk judge, and trolled him miserably.

4/5

Grimes

Elon Musk and Grimes' controversial relationship is laced with public declarations and shocking confessions. Grimes is a Canadian singer-songwriter who has three children with Elon Musk and has had an on-and-off relationship with him.

Quite recently, Grimes accused Musk of being ignorant of their child’s healthcare and publicly called him out as he wasn’t responding to private texts. Previously, she has stirred controversies on the internet with her tweets. “I became way less gay after I was pregnant,” she wrote.

5/5

Donald Trump

Elon Musk, the Senior Advisor to the President of the United States, and Donald Trump, the President of the United States, seem to be good friends. While they have a tumultuous relationship, they have been each other's allies through thick and thin.

Musk was the loudest cheerleader during Trump’s 2024 presidential rally 2024. After calling out publicly for years, in 2023, Elon Musk started secretly supporting the Republicans. When Trump had an assassination attempt, the tables turned, and it was the start of a blooming friendship. From MAGA, to the controversial Nazi salute, the reports started kicking in that they spend alomst every day together.

Now, Elon Musk has decided to scale back his expenditure on promoting Donald Trump and sent initiatives to the White House that sent shockwaves through the entire federal government. According to Forbes, Musk spent at least $250 million to boost Trump’s rally.
