Elon Musk, who has made a name for himself worldwide with his achievements, is the owner of SpaceX, Tesla, and X.

The famous figure, ranked among the richest in the world, is also closely followed for his private life. A few months ago, Elon Musk welcomed his 12th child and has been associated with many different women over the years.

However, we've never seen Elon Musk like this before! Elon Musk and his college girlfriend Jennifer Gwynne had a relationship that lasted about a year.

The couple met at the University of Pennsylvania in 1994 and parted ways in 1995. In 1995, Elon Musk started dating his first wife, Justine Wilson, and decided to move to California for his career.

In 2022, Gwynne auctioned off these photos of her and Elon Musk, stating that she wanted to fund her stepson's college education.

Gwynne, describing what Elon Musk was like as a student, said, "He was always talking about electric cars back then. He was definitely going to be successful. He saw school as just a stepping stone."

Gwynne described their relationship as sweet but added that Musk didn’t like being too intimate.

Explaining why she decided to sell these photos years later, Gwynne said, "I've had these photos and notes for a very long time. But now I thought, 'The man can't stay out of the headlines. So...'

The auction held in 2022 included not only the photos but also a birthday card written by Elon Musk, a gold and diamond necklace. These precious memories from Musk’s first girlfriend fetched a total of $165,000!
