Elon Musk ex-wife Talulah Riley once told a touching story about Elon Musk on Christmas night - he got up in the middle of the night and disappeared.
"It was one of the bad Christmases. He had forgotten to get me a Christmas present.
We were in Boulder, Colorado, where there was snow everywhere. We were in bed, and he said, “It is not that I do not love you. I really, really love you. My brain is just exploding.”
I said, “No, I know. It is fine.”
Then he got up in the middle of the night and disappeared. I wondered where he had gone.
He came back two hours later. He had gone outside in a T-shirt and shorts, barefoot, and walked all over Boulder. He had dug through the snow and picked flowers, then returned with a small bouquet.
He said, “I just wanted to show you how much I loved you.”
