Reports have emerged claiming Elon Musk tried to spy on Amber Heard through private investigators as she also alleges the richest man in the world used infrared cameras tried to prove her “fidelity”.
Musk began the 2010s as the relatively unknown, relatively cool billionaire wanting to take humans to Mars, but has become an increasingly controversial figure through recent years for his views on politics and ethics.
Now it’s claimed that he spied on Heard, who he dated through 2017, in a bid to prove whether she was cheating on him whilst she was busy in Australia shooting the DC’s Aquaman film on the Gold Coast.
According to The Daily Mail’s Alex Mostrous, the naturalized American citizen decided to hire a private investigations firm, which specializes in cheating, to monitor her for months at a cost of around $66,500.
The probe reportedly used drones and infrared cameras to track the actress, who later had an abusive relationship with Johnny Depp, after it was claimed she was having an affair with an Aussie Rules footballer; although the tip was traced to SpaceX, Musk’s own company.
Elon Musk’s controversies
Musk recently appeared on stage at Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania where he attracted criticism for his entrance to the stage as he jumped around.
Additionally, the wealthy social media owner has been criticized for appearing to interact with problematic accounts on X.com, linked to neo-Nazis and anti-Semitic conspiracies as well as anti-LGBTQ+ stances.
But an anti-LGBTQ+ policy is nothing new for Musk. He famously disowned his daughter after she revealed she is transgender, as he claimed she was killed by the “woke mind virus” leading to her to fire back by accusing him of being a terrible, absentee father.
Outside of politics, his Tesla cars have been tabbed as unsafe and impractical due to their designs, particularly his Cybertruck models.
Whilst his Neuralink chips faced a storm after a WIRED investigation suggested chimpanzees, human’s closest genetic ancestors, died horrifically in his labs after suffering from bloody diarrhea, partial paralysis, and cerebral edema. It’s something he denies.
