Some of Elon Musk’s personal belongings are up for auction, and you could win them. His ex-girlfriend is selling them.

In 1994, Jennifer Gwynne and Elon Musk began dating. Recently, she made the decision to sell more than 100 memorabilia from their one-year romance. Numerous images of a youthful Elon Musk, as well as gifts and notes, are currently up for auction.

A signed letter penned by Musk is anticipated to fetch over $10,000 while the photographs are presently being auctioned off for $100 each. Gwynne has stated that she would like to raise money for her stepson’s education expenses.

In addition to offering her possessions for sale, Gwynne also talked openly about her split from Musk in 1995, telling The Daily Mail that it happened because Musk moved to California to further his career. The multibillionaire would later co-found PayPal before founding numerous other businesses, including Tesla and SpaceX.

Gwynne, now 48 and living in South Carolina, opened up about the Musk she knew during their relationship at the University of Philadelphia.

“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 said.

Explaining why she decided to sell her items now, Gwynne said: “I’ve had these pictures and the notes for a long, long time. But now I’m like, ‘well the man cannot stay out of the headlines… so…'”
