Gwynne described her relationship as “sweet” but wasn’t “extremely affectionate”.
The relationship ended when Musk moved to Palo Alto in 1995. It was there that he started dating his first wife Justine Wilson.
“We met in the fall of 1994. I was a junior and he was a senior. We were in the same dorm and we worked together,” Gwynne said.
“He was very intense, very focused on his studies. Back then he was always talking about electric cars. He was definitely going somewhere. He just saw school as a stepping stone,” she added.
Eighteen photos of Elon Musk are up for auction. A signed birthday card from the Tesla chief given to Jennifer Gwynne on her birthday is another item up for purchase on RR Auction.
