Money can buy everything but emotional maturity.
The 50-year-old Musk is dating a woman several decades his junior, but he is the billionaire CEO of three companies.
According to an exclusive published Friday in Hollywood Life, a new mystery girlfriend was photographed leaving Musk's jet and later identified as a film actress.
Even if you follow the old adage, half your age plus seven, you wouldn't hit the mark, and even if you did, you wouldn't be older than 32. It's also worth nothing that Musk has one child with another woman. He enjoys taking his kids to the grocery store to watch poor people fight over toilet paper, because he is a doting father.
Musk isn't the only rich older man who dates younger women. When he was dating a 19-year-old Taylor Swift, Jake Gyllenhaal was 28 years old. Younger fans aren't convinced that complete and enthusiastic consent can exist in a relationship. Why do they do it?
Some joke about younger women and their looks, but others suggest that older men want respect, and it's easier to get from younger, impressionable women.
It's hard not to think that Musk would want a little more validation. You can engineer that in a lab or factory.
