What Talulah Riley Thinks of Elon Musk?
The Pride & Prejudice and Inception star has reportedly maintained a friendship with Musk even after their divorce in 2016. In a 2022 interview with The Times, Riley candidly spoke of her feelings towards the Tesla CEO saying, “I love Elon fiercely and always will.”
Musk is funny and keeps a positive attitude casually commenting on random people’s posts on his platform which makes the billionaire a unique person. But for Riley, he is still a “good friend” as he was during their relationship. In an interview with The Independent, the actor revealed that Musk is a “perfect ex-husband.”
“I suppose the reason to get remarried was just because it felt silly to be together unmarried after having been married. You know, it’s like a habit […] He’s a great friend. He looks out for me. We are in a happy place now, where we’re good to each other, which is really nice. I have here utmost love for him,” she told The Independent.
Now that Riley is engaged to Sangster, Musk posted hearty wishes to the couple. Apart from being an actor, Riley also authored a Dystopian Fiction, THE QUICKENING: a brilliant, subversive and unexpected dystopia for fans of Vox and The Handmaid’s Tale which was published in 2018.
