He has such a young face; it’s hard to accept that he is 34. Also hard to accept that she married Elon Musk not once, but twice.


yqry

She what now???


VanSensei

Married him once, shame on her. Married him twice, shame on her still


Cheesecake01-

> During Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter in October 2022, text exchanges between Musk and Riley were released where she pleaded with him to buy the social media site, asking "Please do something to fight woke-ism. I will do anything to help! xx". 🥴


chibuku_chauya

What a whole lot of eww to contend with right there. How this lad fails to see the red flags is beyond me.


nedzissou1

Because he probably has the same views.


leahhhhh

For him the flags are green


ohshroom

I mean. Jojen Reed was a greenseer, so...


Zolomun

Also: delicious


lonegungrrly

Jojen paste. Niche joke. I like it


Chessh2036

Some backstory on this after reading the book about Elon: He has a trans daughter who wants nothing to do with him, she changed her last time and cut all ties with him. He blamed Twitter. Seems Riley did also. So he bought it to fight the “woke” media.


Titan7771

Mannn I really thought she was just young and dumb when she married Musk. Foolish of me to assume I guess.


justsomeuser23x

Or she was young and dumb and stayed that way…one could even say she got groomed lol


applesandcherry

I was gonna say happy for them, but nevermind!


findingnana

i wish i could unread this


PrincessCG

Oh, eww. What a choice to make in a partner.


whimsical-editor

That feels like the fanfic someone would write her writing, it doesn't feel like a thing someone would actually write. Gross.


AnniaT

Wtf?


lefrench75

His first wife I can empathize with bc she met him when they were both in uni and presumably he was more of a human being than a ghoul. She also wrote an essay exposing what a horrible person he became during their relationship - how he went from being supportive of her dreams in the early days of their relationship to whispering "I'm the alpha" in her ear during their wedding dance (🥴). The more successful he became the worse of a partner he was to her. She also wrote about how he became obsessed with having a blonde wife and after they got divorced he got with Talulah who IIRC dyed her hair blonde after they met lol. Anyone else who dated him after tho... Yikes.


no-pun-in-ten-did

The essay is [I was a starter wife by Justine Musk.](https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/)


leiavuitton

I read this in Marie Claire when it was first released and it ruined Elon and all his businesses for me forever. Then I found out he was a yt South African whose family profited from apartheid and it all made sense


Ainzlei839

Is “white” a swear? Why are you spelling it like that?


deemigs

Because on Facebook you can get hit for talking about white people too much, especially anything that may be derogatory so people tend to change it up.

Academic-Balance6999

I started this comment thinking you were talking about Thomas Brodie-Sangster and was like 🤯


justsomeuser23x

I have quoted that essay so many times on Reddit already lol


aweap

>Anyone else who dated him after tho... Yikes. Like Amber Heard?


imjustlikehellokitty

she dated el*n? damn, her suffering is truly endless :(


Funny-Tea2136

She also dated Eve Fartlow the genocide stan


strapacky

My thoughts 100%


Tonedeafmusical

I like to point out how they were both in Doctor Who one year apart. But she was playing a young adult and he was playing a young teen.


Giallo_Schlock

They both got great two-parter episodes too


Slow-Frosting-9607

And one of the best episodes. Human nature/The family of blood and Silence in the library/Forest of the dead are masterpieces


Giallo_Schlock

'Silence of the Library'/'Forest of the Dead' then being followed up with maybe my all-time fav episode 'Midnight' is just a god-tier streak. Peak Doctor Who era.


Slow-Frosting-9607

Yes. Series 4 is my fave, there's a reason people like Tennant and Tate so much. I look at the show now and it's sad how hard it has fallen. Eta: midnight is my fave ever too.


Tonedeafmusical

Part of the reason it sticks in my brain


asietsocom

Who did she play?


Tonedeafmusical

Miss Evangelista in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. She looked a bit different though. https://preview.redd.it/p8yd2bj1ae8d1.jpeg?width=421&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff3728bb9fae6d29b82eaa257e544e70d34098aa Edit-love the profile pic


Ygomaster07

That's the same person?! Wow. Did the use editing to make her look like this for the show?


Tonedeafmusical

Only the best 2008 BBC had to offer


Captainatom931

I hear they spent a whole £50 on it


asietsocom

That's crazy. Just sad that she sucks.


thankyoupapa

There's an old youtube video of her and Elon's home life and it's soooo awkward.


invaderpixel

Yessss! I think this is the one for anyone who hasn't seen it. I feel like Elon tries to keep his old stuff buried now [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL1gqHDer9E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL1gqHDer9E)


BojackTrashMan

I will never forget the article his first wife wrote. He convinced her to sign away her rights to his earnings in a post-nuptial agreement and started tossing out women every couple of years once they turned 30. He first tried to make that first wife into the blond young thing he then replicated over and over. His entire social circle change to a group of men who view women as disposable objects. He tries to force them into very narrow requirements as if it is a business partnership and treats them like goods that expire. I think she raised four or five of his kids who if I recall don't even speak to him. The guy is a monster and a wild narcissist


thankyoupapa

>I will never forget the article hits first wife wrote. the last line of that article is chilling. i think about it all the time


someguyfromtheuk

That was amazing, this looks like a skit from a sitcom lmao The ending had me cringing. No wonder they broke up tbh


Aye-eyes

I can’t believe Elon has 11 children 😳


FloatPoussey

I think it is 12 now.


gardenmud

Thank you for this gift lmfao


justsomeuser23x

He just seems so…unpersonal? Like not a guy you’d say „oh hanging with my dad is so nice“


allym91

Oh my god I knew I recognised her name and was about to Google but there it is ![gif](giphy|l0Iyjb8G3TXLAxBwk)


Claypothos

God these are the comments I live for. Perfectly punctuated personal drags.


catmoon-

I'm younger than him, but idk if I could date him. He looks like he's 20 at most.


RaspberryOk54

I just learned a lot all at once there


ohwrite

He was in The Queens Gambit and still a really good actor


feverously

She sucks lol


chicagoredditer1

34?!!?


JustAcivilian24

He’s older than me?! Jesus you’re right. Always thought he was younger than me


Becbacboc

And now she's with Thomas, talk about an upgrade... after two downfalls but yeah


[deleted]

She's Elon's ex-wife who urged him to buy Twitter and turn it to a "radical free speech" haven to fight "woke-ism," right? She's a POS.


catsandnaps1028

I think it's a but unfair to her to blame the downfall of Twitter in her.Elon Musk is a grown man who makes his own decisions


BookInteresting6717

Yeah he is a grown man but clearly, she holds very similar prejudiced views too. Or at least while they were married. She’s a grown woman.


deemoorah

Then Brodie-Sangster is also sus for me for marrying that woman


thisistestingme

Right? Ugh - I don't want that to be so!


freckledotter

Know someone who went to school with him, apparently even then he was a massive dick so I wouldn't be surprised.


Sloe_hand

And she is a grown women who advocated for something bad. Musk is responsible for his decisions and she is responsible for hers.


[deleted]

I wasn't blaming the downfall of Twitter on her, obviously, just pointing out that she shares his same abhorrent views.


brookeiu

Lol here comes the “don’t blame women for men’s actions” okay but what if the said woman clearly has the same bigoted view as the man and encourages his bigotness? Can we blame her then?


catsandnaps1028

I wasn't trying to defend her but I sincerely doubt a man like Elon Musk didn't act in his own accord for his own gains. I don't even know who she is so if y'all say she is horrible I believe it


PolemicFox

Doesn't mean she's not a POS


feverously

I think we can shit on them all tbh


bertiesghost

The texts are here for anyone interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughMuskSpam/s/aaSuwu2Klk


merlinmorg

She also wrote this book called The Quickening, which basically sounds like the reverse handmaids tale, where women rule and all men are powerless victims. Such Alt-right, pick me propaganda.


WakandanLebron

Hot


ImpossibleVast8589

Are we sure that was her and not Grimes? That sounds much more like a Grimes thing. 


jlf667

It was her. I believe it was revealed in one of the lawsuits against him.


ImpossibleVast8589

You are totally right. I found the daily mail article about it. It still doesn’t make me like Grimes though. 


thisisthewell

>It still doesn’t make me like Grimes though. why would anything Talulah Riley says about twitter change your opinion about Grimes? No one said anything about Grimes.


krasmazovonfire

This is such a bizarre response You bought up Grimes, no one else


MechaNickzilla

Good point. But you’re not changing my mind about Grimes.


ImpossibleVast8589

To avoid any additional confusion: I read the article and it was Talulah Riley, not Grimes, who said buy twitter to destroy it because it’s too woke. I understand that grimes is not the person now who said this. Even though Grimes did not say this I still don’t think she is a good person for other things she has said and done and not doing this one thing does not change that for me. 


fnord_happy

Okay. No one is disagreeing with you. Why are we talking about her at all


ImpossibleVast8589

I would say it was a fundamental misunderstanding of her connection to Elon versus Talulah Riley which can be tracked through context above. Please let me know if you have any other questions or confusion.

littlebiped

We literally have the screenshots because they were part of the court documents when Twitter sued Musk to complete the purchase. https://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-twitter-talulah-riley-exwife-babylon-bee-hbo-1849612817


LN-66

I have deleted my original comment given that it is incorrect - that said, I do believe he is a narcissistic and controlling partner and to a degree the women he dates should be given a level of grace.


TeaAndAche

This was long after they divorced a second time. She was free of his influence. She’s a piece of shit, like Musk, the man she chose to marry twice. You’re acting as women have no agency or accountability, which is patronizing and comes off as sexist.


LN-66

Lmao ok, I’m not assuming that about her. I do still believe his partners should be given a level of grace. As I have removed comments about the relationship, I acknowledge I do not know it all. That said, I do think you are underestimating the control and influence narcissistic people can have, and she should receive criticism for her public commentary.


mac_re

From official court documents…


No-Statistician-8520

> I mean, that is the official narrative but from where? [These texts between the two that were revealed in the court battle he had with Twitter](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ftexts-in-which-talulah-riley-urges-elon-to-fight-woke-ism-v0-p7flf3c5kteb1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Da059cce2df73ee4a52f80969badcd4620c2a3529)


joaaaaaannnofdarc

Eww


chillagrl

Also this was AFTER they had split up. They are still friends


_biggerthanthesound_

Maybe it was a trick to get him to lose money.


Unhappy-Childhood577

No she’s really right wing.


littlebiped

Don’t know much about him but she’s an alt right worm brained reactionary that thinks transphobia is the height comedy and “wokeism” is some ideology that needs stopping so many happy returns to the newlyweds I guess.


Duosion

Ugh. I’ve always liked Brodie Sangster but this union makes me 🤨🤨


ThrowRAFoundAndLost

I mean sometimes decent people date or marry horrible people... like Amber Heard being with Elon for a while, too.


Amadai

But they are all awful people!!


Free_Sympathy6079

Not surprising at all. A real representative of her tax bracket and demographic


bertiesghost

He spent $44B to turn Twitter into his own personal shitpost echo chamber.


mcpickle-o

Well, if he's marrying someone with *those* votes then I think we've learned a bit more about him - and it's not good.


romxilda

So odd that he married someone so alt right and transphobic and weird. Like I know we don’t know these people but he just seems far from that type


NoMastodon8294

His last girlfriend (gzi wisdom) was very cool and artistic and seemed to be pretty normal


Lumpy-Plenty2237

But she's hot and he looks like a kid. He's probably ignoring a LOT of red flags.


asietsocom

He's in his mid 30s lol


Extension_Belt_3879

He is. But looking like a child in a world that increasingly praises hateful "alpha" (lol) males with a lot scruffy male maleness might have done a number on his self-esteem. People with low self-esteem can overlook a lot of red flags in a hot partner. Speaking from experience. 


Perfect_Razzmatazz

I know he looks 12, but he's been on this earth for 34 years, and has known Talulah for 3 years. Pretty sure he's going into this one with his eyes open. He's wealthy and famous, he could absolutely find someone to date him of any political persuasion. This was a choice, and I'd wager his views aren't dissimilar to hers, he has probably just been better about keeping them on the DL


FerBaide

He’s only 4 years younger than her, he’s 34…


missmermaidgoat

Human beings are nuanced. She may be all what you said, but she also probably has good traits too. 🤷‍♀️


Knittingfairy09113

She is a massive bigot. Being kind to dogs or whatever doesn't balance that out in any way. Her overall character is lacking.


pralineislife

Racists are good people too you guys.


champdo

That name sounded familiar and at first I was like: Oh! She was in Westworld. Then I looked more and then I was like Oh. She was married to Elmo. Twice.


MissMilkChocobo

As far as I know, Elmo is only 3 1/2 years old. So the marriages probably weren’t legal.


Sure-Echo164

😂😂😂


bookwormaesthetic

Don't disrespect Elmo's name like that!


sailorveenus

It really isn’t Elmo’s year


Moneyfrenzy

Fuck the alt right! I hope their marriage is miserable! This dude also managed to be even more boring than Bran was, which is saying something


qq_foryou

Not one mention of him voicing Ferb in this article


Motherofsmalldogs

DID CANDICE/PERRY ATTEND???


Runabrat

He's a genuinely nice person in real life, so this is a pairing I find bewildering.


oldwellprophecy

Maybe not as nice as we think because she’s insane


capn_corgi

Plenty of bigots are very polite. I worked for the nicest Trumper who actively did charity work for Haitian earthquake victims and looked out for everyone in his office. But if you got him talking about his guy, you were in for the most incomprehensible rant about Covid and Chinese people.


potscfs

For anyone that encounters a baffling case of trumpism, I highly recommend Steven Hassan's book, The Cult of Trump. Hassan himself is a former cult member and current psychologist and explains how people get mentally overwhelmed with "influence".  If you're vulnerable and have the right buttons pushed, almost anyone can be brainwashed. Hassan himself is Jewish and came to believe the Holocaust was necessary when he was in his cult.  He's a pretty compassionate dude and I learned a lot! 


arbuzuje

Thanks, I was just looking for something like that. I'm trying to figure out why some people behave like they behave.


c1rcumvrent

Ironically enough, Steven Hassan has been [insanely transphobic](https://www.conspirituality.net/episodes/202-steve-hassan-trans-cult-conspiracy-theory) of late.


potscfs

Oh goodness!  That's bad!   That's a huge shock because Hassan is all about the qualities of influence and whether or not they're about control, rather than stamping one type of influence (for example religion) as good or bad.  I don't know what type of materials he's evaluating and coming to those conclusions?  He's just so into self-determination that it would be so disappointed if he were truly transphobic, because expressing one's gender identity is truly a part of the core of being oneself!  


vellsii

People mistakeningly think bigots are awful to every person they meet. Untrue. They're just awful to people who they look down on and don't respect. Which is true for a lot of people, tbh. The difference is that attitude is far more warranted for, say, your friend's shitty abusive ex. Not so much for an entire group of people. I honestly wish more people realized this. I've seen a lot of people forgive horrible, abusive assholes because they're great to those they respect, so *surely* they're just misunderstood or misguided or something.


capn_corgi

They’re also rarely awful to the people they don’t respect directly. Most people are scared of confrontation. They’re brave online and behind those groups’ backs.


Moiras_Wig_Wall

This is making me majorly side eye him, ngl


CailinSasta

She also played Mary in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice


carrotparrotcarrot

And she was in St Trinians


3penguinsinacoat

I loved her in St. Trinian's. Underrated masterpiece.


carrotparrotcarrot

Not underrated to me 🫡🫡


Fearless_Teacher3944

Yess here for the St Trinians appreciation!


MegaGrimer

And Doctor Who


aprilkeez

She was also in The Boat That Rocked (aka Pirate Radio in the US)


hopelessbrows

Aka the one that wanted to marry Mr Collins. That's some epically questionable taste in men because he's as odious as they get.


DontTakeTheMoney_

My brain is unable to process this


strapacky

Oh wow


classy_cleric

WHAT!?!


Crowbars2

So, Talulah was the one who pleaded with Elon to buy twitter to "fight woke-ism", she did this whilst dating Thomas Brodie-Sangster, so he must've at least somewhat agreed with her ridiculous views... It's really disappointing, because I thought he was pretty good actor.


Chrisl2310

Agh his views aren’t the same as mine therefore his acting must now be terrible 🥴


mrspookiepotpie

they meant “it’s a shame he’s probably got such hateful views because he’s a good actor”


MadeFromStarStuff143

Isn’t she the diehard Elon fan ex who wanted him to go after Democrats for talking shit about Elon or am I just delusional?


ctkwolfe

She's Elons ex wife. Twice over.


toastynotroasty

He could've done Nanny McPhee yesterday 😆 https://preview.redd.it/cd7y8ps9jd8d1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65bd1814317f780ef7437fd763c519a6cce482b3


ofstoriesandsongs

Once or twice a year I'm reminded that Thomas Brodie-Sangster is older than me and it seems wrong every time. He has such a young looking face it's jarring to think that he's 34.


Thick-Definition7416

She’s Elon’s ex wife TWICE over


verynayce

And it gave this [triple-distilled cringe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL1gqHDer9E).


kwitzachhaderac

No idea about his personality, but he is a crazy talented chameleon of an actor.


DemiWizard

I actually served the pair of them around 2 years ago. Both lovely people, no issues at all. He was very talkative who told me to pick him any wine and I just made mocktails for her the whole time.


moosickles

I remember reading an article or interview with her while she was married to Elon about how she's a born housewife, the only thing she wanted/thought about was to please her man and that women had lost their way.


AnjinSoprano420

Does she still have Elon money?


HotDebate5

$20 million settlement 


hbomb9410

I was about to go looking for the Jamie Lee Curtis Freaky Friday "I'm old" gif, but turns out he's only three years younger than me? Doesn't seem right, but okay.


Violet624

Welp, if he married her he must be a Nazi too. Booooooo.


kitjack85

So he married a deranged, “anti-woke” ex of Elon Musk. So it’s safe to say he has the same views and values as her and Musk? Disappointed. But never ever shocked.


Charming_Load9561

Oop not Elon Musk’s ex wife marrying Ferb from ‘Phineas and Ferb’ 🤭😭


wgn431234

Looks way too young to be elons Eskimo brother.


Luna_Soma

But but but, he was just a little kid five minutes ago! ![gif](giphy|SFaMmw7XziRdBp2lSy)


slagforslugs

SHE is the reason Elon bought (and sunk) Twitter. Because she messaged him asking him to buy it to 'do something about wokeism' So yeah. Best of luck, Thomas.


VivaLaCon88

It’s FERB!!!


c0ltanheart

Sooooooooo he's not-so-secretly a giant bigot, too, if he married this crazy stepford........


tillman40

Well we know what he did on his 104 days of summer vacation


Ccaves0127

That is Ferb, you phillistine.


lana-deathrey

I love him. He’s so good in The Artful Dodger on Hulu. Here’s hoping for season 2! (And justice for Nancy!)


missmars12

Ah yes their wedding was hot village gossip as I know people in that area. Only heard nice things about them to be honest.


dylaninthebooks

Did the whole fucking town just know about these two? 😂 makes me wonder how much my neighbors are paying attention to me


missmars12

Yeah they're a very nosy community lol


Only-Horse2478

WHAT….WHATTT…..AAAAAJJJJF FUSSMARSCH H


Timothee-Chalimothee

Huge upgrade from her ex husband (Elon).


LN-66

All I can think about her is her marriage to Elon Musk. I sincerely hope, she is free of him. Congrats between them they are faces of my childhood / teenage viewing.
