What led Betsy to seek attention outside her marriage?
So Elon Musk is apparently having an affair with this 63 year old woman. This story is wild. Now the woman's name is Betsy and like I said she's 63 and she's living in Texas and Betsy lives a regular life. She's a housewife and a mom. However, Betsy has a big problem. She's married to this guy, John, and they've been married for 43 years. But now John's 71, and Betsy's starting to think that maybe he's a little too old for her, and she decides that she doesn't want to watch him grow even older or be around when he dies one day. Instead, she wants to find a new man, someone younger and more exciting, someone who will give her lots of attention and get, you know, spicy in the bedroom. Then, one day in 2025, she gets that chance.
Because Betsy's scrolling around on her phone on threads when she sees an online contest.
How did Betsy get involved in the online contest with Elon Musk?
And the winner of this contest will get a grand prize of a new Tesla Cybertruck with $100,000 cash inside. And Elon Musk himself will deliver the truck to the winner's house. And Betsy's like, oh, I want that. And so she enters the contest. Now, she doesn't actually win the contest, of course. However, something crazy does happen. She's chilling at home one day and she gets a message, probably on threads. And the message is from Elon Musk himself. And he's like, Betsy, this is Elon Musk. I don't normally reach out like this, but there's something special about you.
What were the signs that Betsy's online relationship was a scam?
Then he starts messaging her romantic things, like he's flirting. And Betsy thinks he's kind of fine, so she starts flirting back. And soon, they're messaging back and forth a lot, and eventually, this develops into a full-blown online affair. And Betsy loves all this new attention she's getting. And she makes no secret that she's having an online affair with Elon Musk. In fact, she'll text him right in front of her husband, John. Like, she just rubs it in his face. Now eventually, as this relationship develops, Elon confesses his love for Betsy. And Betsy, she loves him right back. But strangely, whenever she asks Elon to talk on the phone, he's always too busy.
How did Betsy fall for the romance scam involving fake Elon Musk?
That's suspicious. But whatever, I guess. They're in love, I suppose. Okay, here's the thing about this Elon guy she's talking to. He's not really Elon Musk. This person is a scammer, and this is a romance scam. And this may be obvious to like me and you and her husband John, but it's not obvious to Betsy. In fact, whenever her husband John tells her that she's talking to an imposter, she doesn't listen. And she just keeps this relationship going. And after a few months, inevitably, fake Elon starts hitting her up for money, telling her that he needs some cash to fund his projects or whatever.
What actions did Betsy take that escalated the situation?
And yes, Betsy actually believes him. She believes that the richest man in the world, a man whose wealth grows by like $600 million a day, really needs her to loan him like $1,400. Now, $1,400 is not a small amount of money, especially not to Betsy and John. In fact, she doesn't actually have it. So she starts selling all her things, including pawning all her jewelry to come up with the cash to send him. And to make it worse, Betsy even gives fake Elon direct access to her bank account, where he takes an extra $8,000 cash advance off her and John's joint credit card. Meanwhile, poor John is still supporting Betsy. He's cooking her dinner every night and trying to be the best husband that he can be so that he can win her back.
But ultimately, that doesn't help because eventually Betsy drops a bomb on him. She's filing for divorce.
How did Betsy's family react to her online affair?
She's going to leave him for a guy pretending to be Elon Musk, a guy she's never even spoken on the phone to. And at this point, poor John, he doesn't know what to do. So he goes and he tells their son, this guy, Brian. So John tells Brian and the two of them decide to stage an intervention. So Brian goes to his parents' house and he and John confront Betsy and they try to get her to face reality. Brian's like, mom, he's the richest man in the world. Of all the women on the earth, why would he choose you? And this, of course, pisses Betsy off and she flips out and she starts yelling, you have no idea what you've just done.
