Jennifer Gwynne certainly never thought that the man who used to be her boyfriend would later become the richest man in the world and famous everywhere. Yes, he is said to be Elon Musk's first girlfriend.
At that time, they were studying at Pennsylvania University. Elon is Jennifer's older sister and Elon is in charge of welcoming new students so that they are comfortable in the dormitory. Well one day, Elon knocked on Jennifer's dorm door.
"He came to my room with Chinese food and asked if he could come in. Of course if you brought food," Jennifer said as quoted by us from the Philadelphia Inquirer, Sunday (11/9/2022).
A few weeks later, they were dating, from 1994 to 1995. They even visited each other's families. Their relationship ended after Elon graduated and moved to California.
Elon apparently doesn't like LDR. In addition, Elon Musk is increasingly busy pursuing his dream of becoming an entrepreneur and conquering Silicon Valley. So, they parted on good terms.
So how did Jennifer respond after Elon became the richest man? "Life is weird. It's hard to explain how weird it was but to me, he was just the first boyfriend in college," Jennifer said.
Since college, Elon has been ambitious. "He's been talking about electric cars, about alternative fuels. The campus is full of smart people, but there's something that stands out about his passion," she said.
Now Jennifer is married and has never had a relationship with Elon Musk. He auctioned off rare photos when Elon was still dating him, to help pay for his son's college. Some have sold for thousands of dollars.
