How Amber Heard broke Elon Musk’s heart is revealed in bombshell book as the tech tycoon was left ‘hurt and depressed’ by romance

BBG News

A forthcoming book, offering an unflinching account of the tumultuous union between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, has generated some buzz.

In the forthcoming update, it is now clear that Amber played a part in shattering Elon Musk’s heart approximately ten years back.

Initially, Amber and Elon seemed to be in a peaceful relationship, but as time passed, it became clear that beneath the surface, their bond was marred by frequent fights, jealousy, and serious allegations – making it turbulent and toxic overall.

Elon’s close associates echoed remarkably consistent views about Amber’s personality, much like what Johnny’s group said.

During the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, it came to light that Johnny often had vigorous debates with several of his fellow cast members and friends.

However, even though they initially displayed behaviors that raised concerns, on May 22, 2015, Amber affectionately referred to Johnny as ‘My One and Only’ in their shared love journal.

She told him that in him she found ‘the madness of passion’ as well as ‘the safety of peace’. 

Amber would later allege that five more incidents of violence occurred after writing those words.

During their delayed honeymoon journey in July 2015, one of those incidents occurred while they were traveling on the opulent Eastern & Oriental Express train across Malaysia.

To support her claim, Amber submitted a diary entry to the court detailing an incident where he had strangled and struck her. However, Johnny disputed this and offered vacation photographs depicting him with a swollen eye.

Towards the conclusion of our honeymoon, Amber penned in their journal: ‘This was an exquisite, astonishing, enchanting, unforgettable, delightful, breathtaking, unexpectedly transformative and spontaneous journey. I never thought our honeymoon could be more charming.’

Not surprisingly, the honeymoon didn’t last.

Not long after a court issued a restraining order against Johnny in May 2016, a substantial plant arrived at Amber’s Los Angeles residence, accompanied by a note that said: “We had a marvelous weekend together – E.

Based on the affidavit made by the concierge, it is stated that Elon had his individual access fob for the penthouse garage and was frequently seen visiting Amber for more than a year, often during the late hours when Johnny was not present.

Around the last week of June, Amber decided to surprise Elon on his birthday. She traveled to the Tesla factory in Fremont, California. During her journey, she gathered some wildflowers. Upon her arrival, Elon’s security team assisted her in secretly concealing herself at the back of a Tesla. As Elon approached the car, Amber unexpectedly emerged from the back, holding a bouquet of flowers.

Two weeks into July, Elon and Amber were seen together in Miami, Florida. Amber was accompanied by her sister, Whitney. The group enjoyed their stay at the poolside villas of the Delano Hotel in South Beach. Meanwhile, Elon arranged for Amber and Whitney to travel with him up to Cape Canaveral, where a launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 was set for takeoff.

Amber shared with Walter Isaacson, Elon’s biographer, that their initial date was exceptionally intriguing and marked the beginning of a relationship that eventually became quite significant.

It wasn’t until a later time that it became known that the relationship between Amber and Elon was not only stormy but also filled with turmoil, marked by quarrels, jealousy, and serious allegations. Remarkably, Elon’s close associates would express strikingly similar sentiments about Amber’s personality as Johnny’s allies did.

In the process of reconstructing her life and immersing herself in activism, which temporarily made her a symbol for the MeToo movement, tensions were escalating between her and Elon.

As an ardent admirer, I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly anticipate her imminent journey back to the stunning Gold Coast of Australia, where she’ll be filming Aquaman this time alongside Elon, instead of Johnny by her side. In Australia, Elon graciously secured a breathtaking residence for Amber, offering her a respite from the usual office hustle. However, it seems that Elon’s affection has proven challenging for the higher-ups at SpaceX and Tesla, as he’s found himself diverted from his life’s mission for the very first time.

On a Tuesday evening, she would keep him awake throughout the night, despite his demanding role as a CEO with tens of thousands of employees and significant responsibilities. A source remarked that her actions were detrimental to the progress of electric vehicles, perhaps even more so than the CEO of Exxon Mobil.

In his own words, he referred to his relationship with Amber as the most painful of all his past romantic endeavors.

He described it as intense, for Amber seemed to bring out the deepest, most human feelings in Elon; he felt deeply affectionate towards her, almost to the point of heartache.

Following my incredible Australia adventure, during a chat with Rolling Stone, I found myself momentarily flustered and stepped aside for a heart-to-heart with my right-hand man, Sam Teller.

A short while after, he admitted to the journalist that he and Amber had recently parted ways, and he was deeply in love, feeling the pain acutely. To be honest, the previous night’s unveiling of his Tesla Model 3 left him barely able to perform at peak capacity.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing deep emotional turmoil, to put it mildly. It was an immense struggle just to pull myself together and participate in the Model 3 event without giving off a vibe of profound sadness.

For the majority of that day, I felt quite gloomy. However, I needed to boost my spirits, so I downed a couple of energy drinks (Red Bulls), spent time with uplifting individuals, and finally told myself, ‘With so many people relying on me, let’s do this!’

It’s likely that they reconciled after this separation; Amber and Elon maintained an on-again, off-again relationship through the remainder of 2017.

A close acquaintance of Amber’s, who prefers to remain anonymous, recalls a discussion where Amber expressed concerns about Elon. She described him as unstable, controlling, and jealous, claiming that he had installed surveillance cameras in her home, hidden listening devices in her vehicle, and was stalking her. However, Amber’s confidante was doubtful: ‘This sounds eerily similar to what we experienced with another individual, Johnny. Why is no one catching on?’

During a visit to Rio de Janeiro in December 2017, Amber and Elon experienced a dispute that ultimately led to the permanent dissolution of their relationship.

Amber shut themselves inside the hotel room and began yelling that Elon had stolen her passport, causing her great fear as she feared an attack might occur.

The hotel security personnel and Elon’s sibling confirmed to Amber that there was no danger to her, she was safe, with her passport safely tucked away in her luggage. They reassured her that she was free to depart whenever she felt comfortable doing so.

However, Kimbal, Elon’s brother, expressed astonishment at Amber’s talent for altering her own reality. He explained, “She has such a convincing acting skill that she can make you believe she’s speaking truthfully, but in fact, she is not.

Following the separation, Amber reached out to her mediator-arranging agent, Christian Carino, whom she had dealt with the previous year regarding a mediation with Johnny: ‘Navigating the aftermath of the breakup. It frustrates me when things become public knowledge. You can see I’m feeling quite sad.’

‘You weren’t in love with [Elon],’ Christian replied.

In our conversations, I was reminded over a thousand times that you were merely occupying space. Still, it seems peculiar to me why you’d feel downhearted if you hadn’t held any affection for him from the start.

Amber requested Christian to hand-deliver a letter penned by her, which conveyed her feelings of affection towards him and an apology for the past events, to Johnny.

‘God I miss him,’ she said.
