Musk, who made it clear that he wasn’t looking for a romantic relationship but thought Heard was interesting, reached out to filmmaker Robert Rodriguez to set up a lunch. A few years after their initial encounter, the two continued dating for more than a year.
“They are no longer dating,” according to a source who verified the breakup in August 2017. One of the main reasons for the breakup was their increasingly demanding schedules.
Musk reportedly started the split by saying, “They had fun for a few months, but are both very busy with work now,” the insider claims. Finding time to see each other was becoming more and more difficult. It has been claimed that the CEO of Tesla put in a lot of overtime.

Musk was said to have a strong work ethic, and the source said, “He is in no position to be in a relationship right now and ended it.” Heard subsequently called their platonic bond “beautiful.”
She clarified that it was founded on common fundamental principles including a love of science, in-depth discussions, and intellectual curiosity. The actress also highlighted their enduring relationship and admiration for one another.
