Jennifer Gwynne, who is now selling those previously unseen pictures to earn money for her stepson’s college tuition, has revealed photos of Elon Musk from his college days and with his undergraduate sweetheart. According to rumours, Gwynne dated Elon Musk for a year in 1994 while they were both students at the University of Pennsylvania. Elon Musk also sent Gwynne gifts, such as a birthday card with his signature on it and a 14K gold necklace etc.
“This picture was taken in my dorm room in the Quad at Penn. Elon was usually very reserved, but occasionally he would just get very silly and just want me to laugh along with him. So I decided to document him actually smiling,” Gwynne wrote about a photo where Musk can be seen lying on the floor laughing, his feet up on a table.
According to Gwynne, there is a photograph of Musk and Gwynne that Musk’s mother Maye Musk took. “Elon’s mother (Maye Musk) came to visit us in Philly. She took this picture of us on a bench in the lower portion of the Quadrangle—the big freshman dorm at the University of Pennsylvania. I must have received this print from Maye as her camera put the ‘old school’ orange date stamp in the corner. As I remember, the three of us were planning to drive to NYC to see the musical ‘Tommy’—the whole trip was a lovely gift from Maye—but as we were getting ready to leave, something on Elon’s car broke,” she wrote.
At the age of 48, Jennifer Gwynne resides in South Carolina. To help pay for her stepson’s education expenses, she is auctioning off pictures of her college sweetheart, Elon Musk. She claimed that despite Elon Musk’s lack of tenderness, their year-long affair was sweet. When Elon Musk came to Palo Alto in 1995, Jennifer and Musk allegedly split up because Elon Musk began having an affair with Justine Wilson, Elon Musk’s first wife, behind Jennifer’s back.
