Elon Musk Gives Painful Reply To Turkish President After He Asks, ‘Where’s Your Wife?’

Elon Musk is a well-known businessman and CEO who is credited with co-founding and running numerous significant technological firms. He is the CEO and lead product architect at Tesla, Inc., a pioneer in electric vehicles. Musk also established SpaceX in 2002, which has made great strides toward its goal of colonizing Mars. He is renowned for his creative thinking and bold objectives in the fields of space exploration, clean energy, and technological progress.

Elon Musk has undoubtedly been successful in business. However, managing many businesses appears to have made it a little bit more challenging to sustain a long-term love relationship. With famous girlfriends like Amber Heard and Grimes, the Tesla CEO’s private life has frequently made news. He not only had girlfriends, but he was married three times and fathered a total of 11 children.

While he took his personal life too leniently, sometimes it became too awkward to handle some situations. Something similar recently happened to him when he had a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

However, Musk and Grimes announced a ‘semi-separated’ status in September 2021 and continue to be co-parents of their children. Their family expanded in May 2020 with X’s arrival, followed by the birth of another child, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk (referred to as Y), in 2021. They also have a third kid, Tau Techno Mechanicus, according to Musk’s most recent biography.

Musk and Grimes were not married legally, despite the tech billionaire’s previous marriages to English actor Talulah Riley and Canadian novelist Justine Wilson. In total, Elon Musk has 11 children with three different women.

Elon Musk and President Erdogan had this interesting conversation in the Turkish House in New York. The location is close to the United Nations headquarters. After their meeting, President Erdogan reportedly urged Tesla to build its seventh facility in Turkey. At the discussion, Erdogan also stated that Turkey was willing to work with other countries on Starlink and artificial intelligence.

An awkward exchange between Elon Musk and Turkish President Erdogan

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, encountered an unexpected and uneasy situation when meeting with Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey. Musk brought his kid, X AE A-12 Musk, to the meeting. However, things got interesting when President Erdogan asked about Musk’s wife’s whereabouts. As Erdogan asked,

“Where is your wife?”

Musk disclosed their separation and mentioned that he took responsibility for their son while his wife was in San Francisco. He answered,

“Oh she, she is in San Francisco. We are separated now. That’s why I take care of my son”

On the other hand, Musk informed Erdogan that his nation was “among the most important candidates” for the new facility. Moreover, he said that SpaceX wanted to cooperate with Turkish officials to secure the required permit to provide Starlink satellite services in Turkey.

Erdogan reportedly extended an invitation to Musk to attend the end-of-September “Teknofest” aerospace and technology event in Izmir. Musk declared that he would gladly go.

The meeting followed President Erdogan’s presence at the 78th General Assembly of the United Nations.
